So what is a holistic nutritionist anyway?
Holistic nutritionists understand that each individual has a unique biochemical makeup and therefore must have different nutritional requirements. They recognize that our bodies have the ability to restore and keep themselves healthy given the proper nutrients and environment. Holistic nutritionists dive deep into your health history and aim at getting to the root cause of an issue, so that they can provide you with the education and tools needed to make positive changes and to restore any deficiencies and imbalances, helping you get back to living your most optimal healthy life!
