Nutritional therapy focuses on the nutrient value of food to ensure the optimal well-being and sustained health for patients. Nutritional therapy encompasses lifestyle and environmental factors that detract from the state of ultimate well-being. Various tests might be employed to find the cause of disease. The client will always be educated on the benefits of dietary and lifestyle interventions. This way, clients take charge of their own health. Naturopathic Nutritionists know that the body can heal itself given the right food and treatment and they may employ other natural therapies and diagnostic tools, such as functional diagnostic, iridology, tongue and pulse diagnostics.

Anybody who wants to improve their overall diet or who wants to address the real cause of disease should consult a Nutritional Therapist.

A Nutritional Therapist will normally assign an initial first-time appointment that takes 90 minutes. During this time, a detailed case history is taken, and lab or other tests are recommended to find the underlying cause of disease. An individual diet plan and supplements if indicated, will be given at the end of the consultation. The Nutritional Therapist works with other natural therapists and medical experts as needed to achieve the best outcome for the client. Follow-up consultations are shorter.

The length of a treatment and the frequency of visits depend on the state of health and disease. Chronic conditions can often develop over decades and will, therefore, require more appointments. Acute conditions may take only one consultation.
