What is Nutritional Therapy?

A Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) believes that optimal health and wellness can be achieved through properly prepared, nutrient dense, whole food nutrition along with a well-balanced lifestyle.


NTP’s help support people with their health through a holistic, bio-individual approach while also supporting six physiological foundations. When these foundations are weak and out of balance, it can be the root cause to many of today’s health problems. These important foundations include:


1. NUTRITION-Real Food Builds Real Health! A diet rich in nutrient dense, properly prepared, whole foods is the ultimate foundation of optimal health.

2. DIGESTION & ELIMINATION-You Are What You Absorb! Eating a nutrient dense diet is essential, but you must actually absorb the nutrients you eat to benefit from them.

3. BLOOD SUGAR REGULATION- What Goes Up Must Come Down! Stable blood sugar levels provide consistent energy, enable metabolic flexibility and reduce stress on the body.

4. FATTY ACIDS- Most Fats Are Your Friends! Healthy fats are required for stable energy, optimal brain function, hormone balance and satiety.

5. HYDRATION- Water is Life. Life is Water! Water is the most important nutrient. It's required for numerous body processes and makes up 60% of the body.

6. MINERAL BALANCE- Minerals= Spark Plugs! Minerals help build bones and lend a helping hand in balancing hormones and many other key body processes.


The NTP approach believes when these foundations are supported and balanced (along with a well-balanced lifestyle) then your health and wellness will thrive, too. The human body works so hard every day. Honor this hard work by balancing these foundations and providing deep nourishment. Healing, restoring and regenerating is the body’s ultimate goal. It wants you to WIN!
