What is Holistic Nutrition?
Holistic Nutrition is a natural approach to health that uses evidence-based techniques for diet, lifestyle and detoxification. It focuses the client as "a whole" rather than focus on single modalities, symptoms or previous diagnoses, eliminating traditional methodologies of "on size fits all".
​
What does a Nutrition Assessment entail?
​
A Extensive Lifestyle Assessment Form is completed which collects and evaluates one's health history, emotional state, lifestyle, habits current diet habits, level of stress, hereditary diseases and much more.
A Nutrisystem profile is also completed. One scores 67 symptoms as a 1, 2, or 3. Using these scores we are able to focus on which of the body systems is unbalanced.
Why choose the Holistic approach to health?
​
Currently conventional medicine tends to separate human health into parts: mental, physical, emotional, social, etc.
Holistic simply means that all aspects of a person’s well-being are considered. The whole person is the focus, rather than merely a symptoms() or disease. Our approach is based on Socrates premise - “the part can never be well unless the whole is well”. Socrates
