Nutrition coaching helps to clarify what foods and menu are right for you. In addition, your nutrition professional will navigate what whole-food choices to make with the overwhelming and confusing information. In the last few decades we have been given an abundance of nutritional misinformation, our food supply has been chemically altered, genetically modified, refined, preserved, and lower in overall nutrient content. Wonder if the protein bar that you grab on-the-go is healthy for you? Unsure if you should try intermittent fasting, plant-based, keto or gluten-free? Have allergies or intolerances that seem to be increasing? Don’t enjoy cooking or have limited time? Not to worry, we’ve got you covered. Begin a journey back to health by learning what your body really needs and feeling empowered with practical achievable solutions.

EAT MORE REAL FOOD, NOT MORE FOOD PRODUCTS.

They often work one-to-one with clients in a clinic typesetting.
• A naturopathic doctor is trained with all the pre-medical sciences, often leading to an undergraduate degree over a 3-4-year period and then in naturopathic medicine including nutrition over an additional 4-year period. Naturopaths like registered holistic nutritionists focus on the whole person and the source of health imbalances most often in a clinic typesetting.
• A dietician is a regulated profession requiring a 4-5-year university degree in dietetics. Dieticians are trained to work in hospital settings.

The number of visits required and reassessment visits vary depending on the severity and duration of your concerns. It is recommended to have a nutrition initial visit, your first follow-up 2 weeks later, follow-up monthly until you feel on-track and then in wellness every 6 months to maintain your health.
