What does a Registered Nutritional Therapist do? Most people don't understand what being a Nutritional Therapist entails. We use a variety of tools to try to determine the root causes of your symptoms or conditions. We focus on the individual and not a “one size fits all approach.” There is no perfect diet for everyone. As Hippocrates said “One man’s food is another man’s poison." Please click here to view a more detailed description of the focus and purpose of a Registered Nutritional Therapist.
Patrick Holford states:
"Nutritional therapists are trained to look for the potential underlying causes of health problems, using a combination of clinical skills and, where necessary, biochemical tests. They then work with each client to produce a tailor-made program to address specific issues and help you reach your health goals. This could be clearer skin, more energy, improved digestion or weight loss. Nutritional therapy can also help more complex issues such as overcoming infertility, alleviating migraines or supporting a particular medical condition.”
Genetics are NOT the MASTER, only the blue print! The new science of Epigenetics is beginning to shed light on how genes are regulated. It's finding that what we eat and our emotions have huge impacts on what genes are turned on and which ones are turned off. Therefore our health and well being is affected in a large way by our food and lifestyle. We use the services below to try to help you reach your "optimum health". The services we provide are intended for educational purposes only. Please read our Privacy Policy and Disclaimer if you have not done so already.

We also do workshops and presentations. Please contact us to discuss how we can help your group or organization.

1) Live and Dry Blood Analysis (includes Zyto Compass Biofeedback analysis report and handouts): $89

- This is a computer software program that reads your energy field to look
at imbalances in your energy field, based on acupuncture points and meridians. The imbalances then prompt the software program to make recommendations of supplements that can help to restore balance.

Compass is simply another tool to determine possible causes of imbalances in the body.

your symptoms or medical conditions, Metabolic Type and any foods that you are sensitive or allergic to.

help to balance your biochemistry (nervous system and blood sugar) in addition to making sure you avoid foods that you are sensitive or allergic to. It also eliminates foods that may be contributing to your symptoms and makes recommendations of foods that will help to improve your symptoms.
- The food chart can be done in most languages. Here are samples: English,
French, Dutch, Chinese, Japanese

a lancet and blood typing kit. This is great for people wanting to donate blood or be an organ donor.

9) Nutri-Body Questionnaire Analysis (based on Individual Bio-Chemistry Nutritional Symptomatology) with general nutritional recommendations and detoxification information: $50 Note: This questionnaire is filled out online.
- 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.

and arsenic and for nutritionally important elements such as iron and copper. This provides important information regarding nutrient deficiencies, imbalances and toxicity.

off to the lab for analysis of nutritional deficiencies, toxic overload and organ function.
- We can cut your hair for you if you want.
11) Saliva Hormone Testing. Prices vary depending on tests ordered.
- We prefer to do the Adrenal Stress panel in addition to the male or female
hormone panel. This is because the stress hormone, cortisol, "steals" the precursors needed to manufacture other hormones, leading to hormonal imbalances. Click here to view a steroid hormone pathways chart.
- Cortisol also has opposite effects on the receptor sites of other hormones
so high levels of cortisol can negatively impact normal processes in the body that are normally controlled by other hormones.
- What is a stress? A stress can be anything that puts stress on the body:
Blood sugar imbalances: high insulin/low blood sugar or high blood sugar/insulin-resistance Food sensitivities: the immune response puts stress on the body Chemicals that we are exposed to in our food and the environment Emotions Etc...
12) Food Sensitivity/Allergy Testing. Prices vary depending on tests ordered. More Detailed Information:

learn more about the different antibodies involved in food sensitivity reactions.

testing and how cross reactivities have a huge role in your symptoms.
