Nutritional Therapy
A Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP) is a practitioner who utilizes nutrition as therapy for individuals of all ages. NTPs are trained with a holistic approach to nutrition that honors bio-individuality and provides recommendations for diet and lifestyle to reduce or prevent health issues and illnesses. NTPs are equipped to support the body's innate ability to heal by addressing the importance of nutrient-dense food, lifestyle choices, culinary wellness, and how social and personal choices influence health.
