WHAT IS A NUTRITIONAL THERAPY PRACTIONER?

One of the questions I get asked most often is "what is the difference between a nutritionist, a dietitian and a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner? Aren't they all the same thing?"

An NTP is certified by the Nutritional Therapy Association. NTPs focus on a holistic approach to healing, which considers the whole person – body, mind and spirit. They recognize that disease is complex, so they focus on the concept of bio-individuality: every individual has a specific genetic, ancestral and geographic makeup that determines their own unique nutritional needs. Many nutrition programs fail because they take a “one size fits all” approach that ignores bio-individuality.

​​

NTPs usually work in a private practice. In my practice, I begin by performing a comprehensive assessment, which includes an Initial Interview, a Health History Review  and a Food Journal Evaluation. After gathering this information, I will present a plan that is specific to YOUR needs and lifestyle.

NUTRITIONIST

This can be anyone that studies and/or claims to be an expert in the field of nutrition. It is not as regulated and tends to have a broader, more general meaning.

REGISTERED DIETITIAN

A regulated healthcare professional licensed to assess, diagnose, and treat nutritional problems. They usually work in a hospital setting and may have a more western-medicine vs. holistic view on health. 

IS NUTRITIONAL THERAPY RIGHT FOR YOU?

We are a good fit to work together if...

  • You realize that your health is your responsibility and are deeply motivated to make the necessary changes to improve your physical + mental health.

  • You have tried every diet on the planet and still manage to get yourself in the same situation over and over - You are ready to end the "yo-yo" diet effect.

  • You are tired of diet fads and testing food allergies and are searching for a sustainable approach to achieve optimal health for you and your family.

  • You are experiencing "IBS"-like symptoms and want to find a natural solution.

  • You want more than the current status quo for health and believe that the body can heal if â€‹ given the right environment.
