What is Nutritional Therapy ?
Nutritional therapy is the holistic, foundational, bio-individual approach to health that emphasizes the role of nutrition in preventing and managing chronic diseases and supporting overall wellbeing. It involves assessing an individual's dietary habits, lifestyle factors, and health history to develop personalized nutrition plans aimed at optimizing nutrient intake. By focusing on nutrient dense, properly prepared whole foods, using dietary strategies, nutritional therapy seeks to address underlying health concerns, enhance metabolic function, and promote healing.
Nutritional therapy also emphasizes the importance of lifestyle changes to enhance vitality by focusing on the holistic integration of diet, exercise, sleep, and stress management. By assessing an individual’s unique nutritional needs, lifestyle habits and resources, therapists can create personalized plans that promote optimal health and well-being. These plans often include incorporating a variety of whole, nutrient-dense foods, increasing physical activity, adopting stress-reduction techniques and improving quality of sleep. Such adjustments not only may improve physical health but also may boost mental clarity and emotional balance, ultimately leading to increased overall vitality. The synergy of these lifestyle and dietary changes fosters a deeper connection between body and mind, empowering individuals to thrive in their daily lives.
About Me. (picture of me coming soon)
I became a Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner because I believe in the transformational power of food as medicine. As so many that have chosen this path, it began with my own health journey more than 20 years ago. While doing research and making adjustments to my own life I realized three very important things. The first is everything in our body is connected, nothing operates in isolation. The second is I am incredibly passionate about finding ways to nourish my body and has driven a deep curiosity into our food system and its relationship to health. And third, I want to help others experience their own vitality.
The quality, the quantity, the diversity and the source of our food will either promote or hinder our health. I have spent more than 15 years in the health and wellness space and have helped many people along the way. My methods focus on your bio-individuality, health history, lifestyle factors and resources. I work collaboratively, intuitively and compassionately to support you on your health journey. My approach is both educational and strategic, which allows us to see the bigger picture. My goal is to help you create a sustainable lifestyle around nourishing and listening to your body that brings you vibrant health.
