What does a Nutritionist do?
Many people don't understand the depth of what being a Nutritionist entails. A
Nutritionist does more than just tell you to avoid junk food and eat more
vegetables. Did you know that there's no Perfect Diet? (
Read More about it)  
There is a lot more to it....

Here are a few examples of what a Nutritionist does:
  • Determines the right food combinations to balance blood sugar and
    neurotransmitters (for example - choline is used in the production of
    acetylcholine and is very important in cell membranes; tryptophan is used
    in the production of serotonin)
  • Determines possible food intolerances a person may have that may be
    contributing to symptoms. For example, a gluten intolerance can contribute
    to many symptoms such as inflammation of the intestinal tract, psoriasis,
    acid reflux, constipation, low thyroid function, etc....  (see the Gluten
    Intolerance Group)
  • Determines the right “diet” for a person’s unique biochemistry – For
    example: high protein/high fat vs high carbohydrate.  Many people are
    unwell because they don't eat the correct proportions of protein, fat and
    carbohydrate for their unique biochemistry.
  • Determines whether nutritional deficiencies may be present by performing
    a Nutritional Assessment (see below).
  • Determines imbalances in the body and then educate the client about what
    they need to do to restore and support normal function of their body so
    that it can heal itself.

Please read our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer if you have not done so already.

In addition to the above, a nutritionist may recommend the temporary use of
herbs and supplements.  These provide the body with extra nutrients that it
needs to repair and heal itself.

We specialize in helping you discover a variety of potential causes of your
symptoms. The
Disease Tree is a good illustration of the major “root causes” of
many symptoms, as demonstrated by the “leaves” on the tree. Four major “root
causes” of disease are 1) nutritional deficiencies, 2) mental and emotional stress,
3) toxic overload and 4) physical trauma (physical injuries, allergic reactions or
side effects of medications, etc).

By determining what the root causes of disease are, we can teach you how to
bring your body back into balance and possibly eliminate your symptoms.
Please view the variety of symptoms as demonstrated by the “leaves” of the
Disease Tree.  A further explanation can be found on the ABC+D Approach to
Health page.

1)  On-Line Nutritional Consulting - $50:
  • A link to the online Nutritional Assessment questionnaire  is sent to you.  
    This questionnaire is designed by David Rowland and analyses over 600
    bodily signs in 65 nutrient categories.  It does not report anything about
    whether you are eating properly or not - it simply points out nutritional
    imbalances and relationships that may exist.    
  • Once you complete it, a 25 to 35 page nutritional analysis (includes dietary
    and detoxification recommendations) of the questionnaire is e-mailed back
    to you. Click here and here to see two examples of the report.  It
    summarizes specific nutrients that you may be deficient in. This could be
    from a variety of causes, such as a low nutrient diet or malabsorption.  
    Also included is a one-half hour phone consultation (we can use Skype for
    long distance) after you receive the report.  This is to discuss any
    questions you might have and to clarify what the report says.

    you. It also recommends specific herbal remedies to take each month

    recommended or excluded can be explained and is backed up by
    references.  It is based on a nutritional assessment which is established
    from the combination of a number of different tools such as:
  • metabolic type,
  • food sensitivities (including allergies),
  • symptoms, conditions or diseases  
  • body systems and organs needing support.
