What is Nutritional Therapy? 

Nutritional therapy focuses on the nutrient value of food to ensure the optimal well-being and sustained health for patients. Nutritional therapy also encompasses lifestyle and environmental factors that detract from the state of ultimate well-being. Various laboratory tests might be employed to find the cause of disease. The client will always be educated on the benefits of dietary and lifestyle interventions. This way, clients take charge of their own health. Naturopathic Nutritionists know that the body can heal itself given the right food and treatment and they may employ other natural therapies and diagnostic tools such as private laboratory testing.

Anybody who wants to improve their overall diet or who wants to address the real cause of disease, should consult a Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist. 

The Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist consultation. 

A Naturopathic Nutritional consultation will normally comprise of an initial first-time appointment that takes between 60 and 90 minutes. During this time, a detailed case history is taken, and laboratory or other tests may be recommended to find the underlying cause of disease. An individual diet plan (and supplements if indicated) will be researched and delivered. The Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist may work with other holistic therapists and medical experts as needed to achieve the best outcome for the client.
