What is Nutritional Therapy and what does a Nutritional Therapist do?
A Nutritional Therapist is a paraprofessional, certified to do Functional Evaluations in order to make nutritional recommendations to balance body chemistry and achieve optimal wellness.
Learn about the Nutritional Pioneers
NT believes that health is built on certain biochemical foundations.
• Digestion
• Blood sugar balance
• Mineral Balance
• Fatty Acid Balance Big Fat Lie
• Hydration
Holding all of these pieces of the foundation up is the ultimate foundation of a diet of properly prepared nutrient-dense whole food.
NT recognizes that weaknesses in the Foundations lead to degenerative health problems.
The Nutritional Therapy Process
NT uses several tools to answer 3 big questions for every client:
1. Is there a deficiency or imbalance?
2. Will a particular nutrient work for that client?
3. When is the client sufficient?
The tools include:
• Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (NAQ) Download Nutritional Analysis Questionnaire
• Food Journal Download Food Journal
