Nutritional Counseling
Nutritional counseling covers a wide range of assessments and philosophies regarding the quality of nutrition in a diet. Nutritionists offer education in nutritional facts, eating habits, nutrients, allergies, and weight loss. They work with individuals to develop dietary patterns that suits their lifestyle as well as their needs.
We specifically offer:
Food Allergy Counseling which helps individuals identify and eliminate those foods causing hypersensitivities, allergies, and intolerances. Foods that are eliminated may be introduced carefully one at a time at a later date. An allergy free diet is designed for the individual.
Clinical Nutrition tends to stress whole natural foods and nutritional supplements for health maintenance and treatment of disorders. Natural foods include organically grown, as well as those not processed, refined, or stored for any length of time. Naturopaths are foremost in this type of counseling and adhere to the philosophy that proper food choices will influence the physical, mental, and emotional aspects of the body.
