What is Nutritional Therapy?

Nutritional therapy supports the body’s innate ability to heal with a nutrient-dense, bioindividualized diet.

A Nutritional Therapy Practitioner is a “stress detective,” seeing symptoms as clues to imbalances in the foundations of health, which include:

  1. digestion
  2. blood sugar regulation
  3. hydration
  4. macro and micronutrient intake
  5. food quality and nutrient density

Symptoms arise when the cumulative load of stressors, both external (such as a stressful job) and internal (such as food sensitivities or chronic inflammation) exceeds the body capacity to manage. Nutritional therapy seeks to remove stressors from an individual’s “stress bucket” and thereby remedy the imbalances that underlie symptoms.

Bioindividuality and honoring the body’s wisdom are key principles of nutritional therapy. Rather than recommending the same diet for everyone with the same symptoms, nutritional therapy supports the unique individual.

Nutritional therapy is informed by ancestral wisdom, clinical experience, and current science.
