What is Nutritional Therapy?
“Nutritional Therapy centers on the idea that real health can be achieved through a holistic and bio-individual approach to nutrition and lifestyle. Nutritional Therapy Practitioners (NTPs) take a foundational, holistic approach to wellness that focuses on the importance of a properly prepared, nutrient-dense, whole-food diet paired with a well-balanced lifestyle. They understand the importance of honoring the body’s own feedback system and its incredible capacity to restore, regenerate, and correct itself — when given the tools and nutrients to do so.”

Did You Know?
There are six foundations that health is built on?
In my training, we studied these 6 foundations in depth and I’ll be applying them to your future nutrition.
1. Nutrient-dense, properly prepared diet
-
Fueling your body with the right food is the best thing you can do for it! You'll be amazed by the way you feel when you make simple changes when you change your focus to eating whole foods that are rich in nutrients.
2. Fatty Acids
-
While many people in diet culture run from anything that doesn't claim to be fat-free, fats are essential in our diets. Loaded with energy and flavor, healthy fats help build cells along with hormones.
3. Digestion
-
While often overlooked and underappreciated our digestion and gut health is responsible for so many of our body's functions like a healthy immune system, breaking down our food, and supporting a strong gut-brain connection. Without our digestion working properly, it can wreak havoc on the rest of our bodies.
4. Mineral Balance
-
Our bodies don't produce minerals on their own so it's critical that we obtain them through our diet. Minerals are responsible for helping keep our heart, brain, bones, and muscles working properly.
5. Blood Sugar Regulation
-
The rewards of having stable blood pressure are balanced hormones, steady energy levels, healthy stress levels, and even reduced cravings.
6. Hydration
-
We've been told constantly how important hydration is, but it's hard to keep reminding yourself to drink water throughout the day. Making up 60% of your body and helping with all of the functions of your body, proper hydration makes a huge difference in our health.
ABOUT THE COURSE:
Step 1: Let's get to know each other!
To get a better and more in-depth understanding of your health we’ll go over your health history, the symptoms you're struggling with, and your goals for the next 4 months, and we’ll create an actual plan to get you feeling better!
I also ask that you keep a food and mood journal and keep track of what you eat and your digestive patterns. This will help us find triggers.
Step 2: Education
Knowledge is power, and I want you to feel empowered when it comes to food. Instead of enrolling in a pricey course or spending hours on reading materials, I’m going to give you everything you need here. You’ll learn to read food labels, navigate the grocery store, prepare foods so they are most bioavailable, how the digestive process works, and how to listen to your body.
Step 3: Start eating!
You'll receive a list of foods and drinks to support your body's healing process tailored specifically to you and finally feel that you're on the right track!
Step 4: Overall maintenance
I'll keep in contact with you and make sure that you're on the right path to healing.
