After writing and publishing two cookbooks, I started to further deepen my education in the field of nutrition, and when I was searching for a suitable nutrition course, the ATAC course caught my attention with its good recommendations. Its length and structured content appealed to me. This is not common, especially in Slovakia, where nutrition consultant courses are generally quite superficial and short. I was looking for something more. Mr. Jelínek's courses offered me precisely what I was looking for. The course was systematic and excellently crafted to provide a solid foundation on which I could continue to build. The broad scope of the study gave me the understanding that nutrition is highly individual and not black and white. Albert Einstein said: "The important thing is not to stop questioning." I consider this truth crucial when studying nutrition. Studying with humility and constant questions at the end of sentences ensures that nutrition does not become just a theory but, on the contrary, a living whole where we primarily consider the individuality of each person.
The duration of the nutrition course is a huge plus for allowing the information to settle in the mind, deepened by additional study, and enabling us to piece it together like a puzzle. Besides the rich theory, I see the ZOF application as a significant advantage, where we almost daily created model meal plans for a wide range of clients with different needs. Therefore, the course was also practical, which every student will appreciate.
The state-authorized exam was an excellent verification of my knowledge and a confirmation that the ATAC course is truly well-designed and comprehensive enough to master this exam, which is not yet available in Slovakia. It was also a starting point for further studies that I began. The GAPS protocol and working in child nutrition fascinated me so much that I delved deeper into the study of this protocol. Our gut microbiome is closely linked with our immunity and health, both physical and mental, influencing our cravings, mood, and hormones. It is worth taking care of it.
I am immensely grateful to Mr. Jelínek for his humanity and professionalism, his openness and diligence, his personal approach, and his valuable advice.
