Nutrition therapy goes much deeper than simply telling someone to eat healthy and consume vitamins and minerals. Holistic nutrition encompasses how we eat, what we eat, and where our food comes from. It also focuses on proper digestion, assimilation, absorption, and how our body utilizes food. All these aspects affect our physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well being.
Nutrition therapy and dietary changes, alongside lifestyle improvements, can provide complimentary support to your already existing health regimen; whether that be with a team of medical doctors or other holistic healthcare practitioners. Optimal health must incorporate a whole food based diet; ideally supporting your local farmers to ensure freshness and nutrient density. Personal responsibility is paramount to achieve a vital life full of energy and well-being. You can have the best counseling in town on how to attain optimal health but nothing will come of it if you don't own your health and take charge of the changes you want to make and see in yourself. It can take just as long to heal the body as it took to come to its current condition, so patience is necessary as we work together to reverse long standing symptoms. |
