Nutritional Therapy Practitioners (often referred to as NTPs) are certified through the Nutritional Therapy Association, or NTA. NTPs take a foundational, holistic approach to wellness that focuses on the importance of a properly prepared, nutrient-dense, whole food diet paired with a well-balanced lifestyle. We understand the importance of honoring our body’s own feedback system and it’s incredible capacity to restore, regenerate, and bring itself back into balance when given the proper nutrients. When we give our bodies the nutrients it needs and support the foundations of nutrition (listed below), we can support our body’s natural pathway to health.

You’re probably asking yourself, what is an NTP and how can you help me?

We believe that many of modern society’s health problems result from weaknesses in the body’s physiological foundations brought on by poor nutrition and other lifestyle factors. We practice “bio-individual nutrition”, which means that we believe that there is no “one size fits all” diet that works for everyone. What works well for one person will always be unique and nuanced, and may not be optimal for the next person. As an NTP, I work with my clients and support them in getting to the root cause of potential nutritional imbalances that may be contributing to their symptoms and health concerns. 

NTPs focus on the “root causes” of health dysfunction, rather than just addressing symptoms. Looking at your body and brain as a whole…the big picture! As a nutrition therapy practitioner I play a significant role in supporting mental health by focusing on the connection between diet and mental well-being. I utilize dietary and lifestyle changes to address mental health conditions like anxiety and depression.

There are a few key approaches that I use, it looks a little different for all of my clients because remember we are all bioindividual!

Let's work together

 Nutritional therapy places emphasis on this connection and recognizes that it can significantly impact mental health. Conditions like irritable bowel syndrome and leaky gut syndrome are linked to mental health issues such as anxiety and depression.

Have you ever heard of the Gut-Brain connection? 

We work together on tailoring dietary changes to improve gut health and reduce inflammation, which is often associated with mental disorders. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids, has shown promise in alleviating symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Nutritional therapists may also suggest supplements to address deficiencies in essential nutrients. There are a multitude of deficiencies that can cause symptoms of anxiety and depression. 

Overall, nutritional therapy is a complementary approach that, when combined with traditional treatments, can improve mental health by addressing underlying nutritional and lifestyle factors.

Restoring Balance Through Whole-Food Nutrition and Holistic Wellness

What to expect

Before our first meeting I will send you a link to Nutri - Q which is an analysis tool I use to determine which systems of your body need support. In here you will track t 3 to 4 days of your eating in a Food & Mood Journal. I will also ask you to complete a very thorough questionnaire assessing over 300 symptoms. Lastly, there will be a Clinical interview questionnaire that will clue me into your past and current health and lifestyle. Once that has all been entered we will be able to see which areas of the body are struggling most and what is our highest priority. Remember the brain and body are not separate!! You will be shocked to learn things like blood sugar, adrenals, and hormones can affect your mental health!
