What is Nutritional Therapy? Holistic and Bio-individual Nutrition

What Is Nutritional Therapy?

Did you know that less than 15% of physician visits include any nutritional counseling? (source) With more chronic disease and ailments originating from nutritional deficiencies than ever before, our healthcare climate is in dire need of an alternative solution. That’s where Nutritional Therapy comes into play.

 

What is Nutritional Therapy?

Nutritional Therapy centers on the idea that real health can be achieved through a holistic and bio-individual approach to nutrition and lifestyle. We believe that many of modern society’s health problems result from weaknesses in the body’s physiological foundations brought on by poor nutrition.

At the NTA, we are dedicated to helping healthcare professionals and individuals reverse the negative effects of the modern diet through nutritional therapy. Throughout our programs, students learn a wide range of educational tools and techniques to identify and correct nutritional imbalances and deficiencies. Our programs cover scientific principles about how the human body functions, both anatomically and physiologically. The curriculum also addresses: properly prepared and nutrient dense whole foods diet, digestion, blood sugar regulation, fatty acids, minerals, and hydration.

How to Become an NTP

 

Have you been contemplating a career in nutrition? Do you often find yourself being the go-to for nutrition advice in your friend and family circle? If you’re wanting to take your holistic nutrition education to the next level and to become a part of the solution to our current health crisis, one of our programs may be right for you.

 

The NTP program is a ten-month, instructor-led, and fully online program encompassing the NTA’s foundational and bio-individual approach to functional, holistic nutrition. NTPs are equipped to support the body’s innate ability to heal by addressing the importance of nutrient-dense food, lifestyle choices, culinary wellness, client coaching, and how social and personal components influence health.

Career Options

The wisdom you’ll gain from our programs, paired with the excitement and drive that result, will empower you and provide you the opportunity to shape your career the way that YOU want while also living a more purposeful life. You’ll be able to:

  • Be your own boss
  • Work from wherever, whenever
  • Keep a schedule that fits your lifestyle
  • Do work that you love
  • Influence your community and loved ones
  • Be a leader for positive change
  • Contribute to our mission of healing the world

NTA graduates are skilled practitioners, ready to take on transforming the world. The opportunities to redefine health by nourishing, educating, and connecting individuals and communities are endless. They include, but are not limited to:

  • Consulting with clients 1:1 or in groups
  • Blogging or writing articles about health and wellness

  • Developing meal planning systems or businesses
  • Lecturing or speaking at events and conferences
  • Authoring books

While there are so many opportunities to explore after becoming a NTP, we understand that building a business can be daunting. That’s why we created the Career Development Course which helps new graduates utilize the best marketing methods to attract the right clients and build a thriving practice.

If you’ve been longing to begin a career in holistic nutrition, there’s no better time to become an NTP. We firmly believe that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to nutrition and that belief is a central part of everything we teach. If a bio-individual approach to wellness is what you’re looking for in a nutrition program, you are in the right place!

“Why I chose the NTC program” hear from Food By Mars’ Alison Marras

Why I Chose The Ntc Program Hear From Food By Mars Alison Marras

*UPDATE October 8, 2019: We have updated our program offerings since this post was originally published. Learn more about our programs.

The NTA got the chance to sit down with the lovely Alison Marras, NTC of Food By Mars. Alison is a Certified Health Coach and went on to take our Nutritional Therapy Consultant program in 2018. Alison curates a website full of nutrient dense recipes, health related articles, and one-on-one consulting opportunities. She specializes in PCOS & hormonal imbalance, painful and irregular menstruation, autoimmune diseases, hypothyroid & hyperthyroid, adrenal fatigue, and so much more. 

While you are contemplating if the NTC program is right for you, we think you should consider some of the many reasons why Alison Marras chose this program for her certification.

Why I chose NTC over NTP:

Most of my clients are remote and I knew they would be, so having the hands-on portion that the NTP curriculum covers wasn’t a requirement for my practice. I’m also known for recipes and that’s how most of my clients find me, so they’re big on wanting meal plans, etc. and help with gaining more confidence in the kitchen. But I really wanted to be able to educate them more on what the food is doing to their bodies and why they’d want to make smarter, nutrient-dense decisions on the food they consume.  

My favorite part about the program:

One of the best things about the NTA is the amazing, tight-knit community, and the fact that I was able to help myself in my own healing journey on a deeper level through learning this curriculum. I no longer get overwhelmed by symptoms, and have a strong system for prioritizing what area to begin with in order to heal at a deeper level.

How I use the tools I learned, in my business and life:

I use the entire Nutri-q, client questionnaire process as taught to us. I even guide my remote clients through Coca’s pulse test and sometimes other tests as needed. It’s brought immense value to my clients and to how I’m able to help them.

With the fully online NTC program you will obtain practical skills to serve your clients. The program takes an in-depth look at:

  • + Food quality and sourcing
  • + Culinary skills
  • + Meal planning
  • + Health and wellness barriers and influences, emotional well-being, environmental factors
  • + The importance of sleep and movement
  • + Stress and its effect on the body
  • + Motivational interviewing techniques
  • + Clinical and practical tools for assessing clients’ bio-individual needs
  • + Determining optimal health goals
  • + Designing customized nutrition and lifestyle protocols
  • + Cutting-edge knowledge to become a highly recognized nutrition and wellness professional in their community and so much more…  

Students also have free access to Modernmeal, a meal plan creation & nutritional analysis tool for use with clients. 
And Nutri-Q, a cloud-based Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire software.
