Drs. Rick and Karin Dina, D.C.What is the best way to describe the Science of Raw Food Nutrition series of classes Drs. Rick and Karin Dina developed and teach at here at Living Light?

I recently perused some of the testimonials on their website, Raw Food Education and was not surprised to notice the respect students have for both Dr. Rick and Dr. Karin. Science of Raw Food Nutrition graduates praise their attention to detail, integrity, intelligence, professionalism, and commitment to presenting scientific concepts backed by peer-reviewed research.

The sheer quantity and quality of the information presented impresses students, too, along with the manageable structure of the classes—course work is taught in “digestible” segments, with breaks after individual presentations so that information can be integrated more easily—a saving grace when absorbing the volume of scientific knowledge presented in these classes!

Fresh, ripe berriesStudents are also very grateful for the comprehensive binders and PowerPoint presentations they receive—tools that empower them as they continue to learn and study (or teach!) after the classes or over.

Just a few excerpts from student testimonials:

“I definitely got my money’s worth”

“I liked the fact that this class was actually scientific – a rare find in the raw food community”

“I didn’t feel that the teachers were pushing the audience towards 100% raw as I have seen on other occasions with different speakers”

“This is not a course for sissies!  We came away with a huge knowledge base”

“You feel their love and passion come through and it strikes a cord with me!  They are beautiful souls full of “Living Light” info!  Thank you for sharing your passions with the world”

delicious ripe fruitsA registered dietician who had not worked in the field for over a decade enjoyed a “wonderful refresher” for things she had known before, and the scientific exploration of many things she had always wondered about, but had never researched herself. She felt that it would have been nearly impossible to take the time to do such extensive research on her own. 

Other students appreciated hearing fellow classmates’ personal stories during presentations, making the academic process suddenly more intimate. Public speaking can be daunting for some people, but the Science of Raw Food Nutrition series helps people overcome their fears and gain confidence:

“Stepping up to the challenge of speaking publicly … was exhilarating, terrifying, and ultimately beneficial.  It was great to be given such extensive feedback from you both and evaluations from my classmates…  I have gained a lot of confidence in my ability and will likely pursue teaching far sooner than I would have otherwise”
