NTPs are trained in nutritional counseling from a holistic, whole food, nutrient dense diet perspective. The fundamental goal of Nutritional Therapy is to encourage people to become knowledgeable about—and responsible for—their own health. An NTP helps individuals reach their optimal level of overall health by supporting and bringing balance to the five foundations of digestion, blood sugar regula
tion, fatty acid balance, mineral balance and hydration. By supporting each of these foundations and helping clients adopt a more nutrient-dense diet, the body's chemistry can be brought back into natural balance, setting the stage for optimal health. �
Nutritional Therapy is not designed, however, to treat any specific disease or medical condition. NTPs are trained to evaluate nutritional needs and make recommendations of dietary change and nutritional supplements, not medical diagnoses or prescriptions.
