What Does a Holistic Nutritionist Do?
In a world dominated by quick fixes and instant solutions, the concept of holistic nutrition stands as a beacon of hope for those seeking a more natural approach to health and wellness. But, if you have ever searched “what is holistic nutrition” or “holistic nutritionist near me,” you might be overwhelmed by the amount of information and options available.
After dedicating 23 years to the healthcare industry, I have realized that true well-being goes beyond masking symptoms with medication, and the concept of holistic nutrition is simpler than you might think.
It's about understanding the root causes and implementing preventative measures to help you manage your health with whole foods and simple, sustainable diet and lifestyle changes.
As a holistic nutritionist, my goal is to empower individuals with the knowledge and tools to achieve optimal health. But, oftentimes, clients are unsure of what will actually happen when we work together.
So, here is a brief breakdown of what a holistic nutritionist does, who we work with, and what kind of transformation you can expect from working with a holistic nutritionist.
What is Holistic Nutrition?
Holistic nutrition is by no means a replacement for traditional medicine, but it can help prevent you from landing in the doctor's office in the first place. Nutritionists are trained to detect signs and symptoms within the body, which over time may lead to more serious conditions or the development of disease conditions. Holistic nutrition provides a fundamental approach to addressing underlying issues rather than layering medications in an effort to manage symptoms, in a nutshell.
Services Offered by a Holistic Nutritionist
Holistic nutritionists here in Orangeville, Dufferin County, the Greater Toronto Area and beyond offer a fairly wide range of services based on their background and expertise. Here’s a breakdown of what we do here at Down to Earth Holistic Wellness.
Nutritional Assessments and Consultations
I start the journey with a thorough assessment of your personal health history, lifestyle, and challenges you identify, which helps to understand each client’s unique needs. This allows me to tailor recommendations based on their individual health goals. These recommendations will vary based on the individual, but a full holistic wellness plan often incorporates sustainable dietary guidelines or specialized diets, simple and manageable lifestyle changes, and supplement recommendations.
Live Blood Cell Analysis
Going beyond conventional methods, live blood cell analysis provides a dynamic view of a client's health at a cellular level. This will help to guide me, your holistic nutritionist, to create a comprehensive, customized nutrition and lifestyle plan tailored to your needs and your body.
Metabolic Balance® All-Natural Nutrition Program
Metabolic Balance® is an innovative all-natural nutrition program that brings balance to your hormones, optimizes your health, and leads to a new invigorating lifestyle resulting in successful long-term weight management. It is backed by over 25 years of scientific study and is managed by dedicated physicians and nutritional scientists. The foundation of the program is Metabolic Balance’s unique capability to develop a truly personalized nutrition plan based on an in-depth analysis of your unique blood values, medical history and personal likes and dislikes.
Ionic Foot Detoxification
Detoxification is a crucial aspect of holistic health. The ionic foot detoxification aids in eliminating toxins, promoting overall well-being.
Empowering Clients to Embrace Natural Wellness
My ultimate goal is to guide clients toward a strong, healthy version of themselves through a holistic approach. If you are here, you are more than likely seeking a reset of some kind. Whether it is due to poor gut health, chronic pain, weight gain, or a constant lack of energy – by focusing on nutrition, lifestyle changes, and sometimes natural supplements, I help clients piece together the puzzle and restore balance in their lives.
What Does a Holistic Nutritionist Not Do?
While the work that we do as holistic nutritionists is pretty well-rounded and technically nutrition impacts every other aspect of health and well-being, there are some aspects of managing your health that are not within our scope of practice.
Unless your holistic nutritionist is credentialed in the following areas, they will not be able to help you with:
Medical diagnosis, therapy, psychiatric consultations, physical therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic work, osteopathy, massage therapy, pharmaceutical consultations or administration of any kind.
As holistic nutritionists, we have the utmost respect for our colleagues in traditional medicine and the practices listed above and are happy to work alongside your doctors or other health practitioners to ensure your care is well-rounded and complete.
