What is Nutritional Therapy?
Nutritional Therapy 101
Nutritional Therapy is a form of Holistic Nutrition. It focuses on a food- first approach in which each person is treated as an individual with unique needs. Nutritional Therapy marries ancestral wisdom with scientific data to form a perfectly tailored, bio-individual plan made just for you.
As a Functional Nutritional Therapist Practitioner (FNTP) my main focus for clients is to address the root cause of a problem while working on the foundations within the body: minerals, hydration, blood sugar balance, fatty acids, digestion, and nutrition. Each person has specific needs that need to be addressed. A cookie-cutter approach is never used in this area of nutrition. Nutritional Therapists greatly value spending time with their clients and meeting them where they are on their journey. I teach clients how to take their own health back through properly prepared food, movement, stress reduction, and targeted supplements. This work can be done in person or virtually.
One of the advantages of working with me, is the amount of time I will spend with you. On average, when you see a general practitioner, you receive on average about 15 minutes of face time with them. In my experience, I wait longer in the waiting room than the time I spend with my doctor! Doctors often share little to no nutritional advice which could arguably be one of the most important parts of your treatment plan. When you work with me, we will talk together for an hour or more on your first visit and will have many check-ins and follow up visits along the way.
Now that we have established what Nutritional Therapy (NT) is, we need to examine what it is not. It is not a weight loss program and it does not diagnose or treat disease. There are no prescribed pharmaceuticals. NT works with the body to naturally align itself through nutrient-dense food and targeted supplements. Our bodies have innate wisdom and the ability to live in balance. NT can be a great tool to help your body cross the bridge to a healthy life without invasive treatments or medications.
