How to Become a Holistic Nutrition Professional In 10 Months!

How to become a holistic nutrition professional in 10 months

If the title of this blog posts seems familiar that’s because it’s also the name of our most popular webinar. Why do we keep harping on this message? Because we think it’s kind of a big deal. With our program, you can pivot your health and career and become a holistic nutrition professional in just TEN MONTHS.

The breadth of knowledge offered by the Nutritional Therapy Practitioner Online program in this amount of time speaks not only to the quality of our top-notch curriculum, but also the skill and passion of our instructors.

You have the opportunity to hear from these instructors, and the admissions team members who know this program inside and out, before you even sign up. Our webinar is a valuable resource to you, whether you just found us, have been considering this for years, or already have a notepad full of questions and concerns.

The three things you’ll hear about during a webinar are: turning your passion into practice, gaining the knowledge and confidence to earn income, and making an impact.

Take your passion and put it into practice 

Many students come to us already brimming with a deep love and respect for nutrition. We think this is something that makes our community special. Wonderful things happen when passionate people are finally able to practice what they love.

Here’s how Kristin, a current NTP student, felt about jumping in to pursue her passion:

“2021 is about getting out of my own way … so here I come NTA. I’m so excited, nervous, all the things, to be working towards the title of Nutritional Therapy Practitioner. I’ve been eyeing this program for quite a while and it’s time to stop wasting time and jump in. 

Holistic wellness is what lights me up. The NTA’s approach aligns with my own beliefs so it’s a perfect match. Their program is based on a foundational holistic approach to nutrition honoring the individual and their uniqueness because no one size fits all! 

So much knowledge is about to be dropped and I cannot wait to better be able to serve clients and this space.”


Gain the knowledge and confidence to replace or supplement your full-time income

There is so much you can do with the letters NT, and P behind your name. Read about how these graduates have turned this work into their livelihoods.

“ONE month ago today I left my corporate job to do Balance Made Simple… FULL TIME! 
 
I DREAMED of this day, and I can’t believe I have spent the last 30 days living it. It was PAST time, and I wanted to be able to offer MORE for YOU. 
 
Now – I have all the time I’ve dreamed of to create recipes for you, create new.. well you’ll see … take MORE 1:1 clients, AND perfect my FAVORITE program, Back to the Basics. SO much goodness coming soon – I CANNOT WAIT to help each and everyone one of you with your health goals. If I’ve learned anything over the last 6 months, its the POWER and NEED for nutritional therapy. 
 
DREAMS come true, and if your dream is to say good-bye to pesky health issues you’ve been struggling with your whole life – don’t wait any longer! There is a way without them, and my gosh is it worth it!” – Andrea from Balance Made Simple 


“Today marks my second week of being MY OWN BOSS {and I’m already full-time with my businesses!} 

Here are some reflections from the first 7 days: 

• I am absolutely PUMPED to spring out of bed every morning to work on my nutritional therapy and mentoring businesses (even on my days off 😁) 
• I get to choose WHO I work with and have been attracting the most amazing female clients and mentees ☺️ 
• I no longer carry the weight of feeling like I have to prove myself to anyone or show that I am capable or qualified (when I was over-qualified all along) 
• When you find the thing that lights you up, you WILL succeed at it 
• Stepping outside your comfort zone and taking chances every single day will absolutely pay off 
• Yes, the health and wellness market is completely oversaturated BUT the world needs more NTP’s and the success of my new business proves that! 
• It truly is NEVER TOO LATE to start something. I’ve known for over 15 years that one day I’d be my own boss. All roads led me here.” – Autumn of Crusading Wellness 


Turn your desire to help others into a rewarding career, while making an impact 

If your desire is to help others, you’re in good company. One thing all NTPs have in common is that they are making an impact —in their own lives, their families, their communities, and the world.

Maria, a current NTP student, is driven by her desire to help people and decided to maximize her impact by becoming an NTP.

“Guess what! I did a thing! Invested more in myself and going back to school to become a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner! 
 
I always have been drawn to work with people, give them knowledge and tools to make effective change in their life- no surprise I have a Masters in Social Work, and now I’ll be able to learn about nutrition, combining traditional wisdom and scientific research through the NTA program. 
 
I’m excited for this journey to begin and to be able to apply what I learn with my future clients.”


As an NTP student, you will be equipped to go out and make a serious impact. If you’d like to learn more and chat with our instructors and admissions team members, join us for our next webinar. You too can become a holistic nutritional professional in just 10 months!

The Nutritional Therapy Association: On a Mission to Support Lasting Wellness

The Nutritional Therapy Association: On a Mission to Support Lasting Wellness

The Nutritional Therapy Association: On a mission to support lasting wellness

What started as small nutrition school in the picturesque city of Olympia, Washington has billowed into a global force of nutrition professionals harnessing the power of real food, reconnecting individuals to the unique needs and innate wisdom of their bodies to support lasting wellness.

Today, there are over 6,000 Nutritional Therapy Practitioners all over the world. NTPs are prevalent in holistic and allopathic medical practices and are sought after practitioners, chefs, personal trainers, authors, and advisors.

The Nutritional Therapy Association is a leader in the health and wellness landscape and has shifted the nutritional paradigm by delivering a holistic perspective with integrity that’s rooted in the power of real food and scientific function of the body.

How did we get here? For that answer we must go back a few decades.

The history of the NTA 

Gray and Joy Graham founded The NTA in 1997 in order to teach nutrition to health care practitioners from a holistic perspective. It was incorporated as a vocational nutrition school dedicated to Nutrional Therapy and reconnecting people to healing foods and vibrant health.

In the early years, the NTA’s instructor team taught nutritional seminars to thousands of medical practitioners throughout the United States and Europe. Students included medical doctors, chiropractors, acupuncturists, and naturopaths.

What became apparent to Gray Graham was that in addition to teaching nutritional therapy to doctors, what we really needed was a whole new profession dedicated to the power of whole foods and nutrients to restore and maintain health.

In 2001, in a cooperative effort with South Puget Sound Community College, we launched our first Nutritional Therapy Training (NTT) class and graduated our first class of twenty-seven Nutritional Therapy Practitioners (NTPs). A new profession was born.

What exactly is Nutritional Therapy Practitioner? 

Nutritional Therapy Practitioners are trained nutrition professionals, capable of identifying and correcting nutritional imbalances and deficiencies through targeted dietary and lifestyle changes.

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.

An NTP’s job is to help address the ill effects of poor dietary and lifestyle habits while supporting the physiological foundations.

The Foundations

What makes NTPs different from many other practitioners is that they look at the big picture rather than focusing on the symptoms accompanying an issue. This means that a symptom is not viewed as the actual “problem”, but as an indication of an imbalance in the physiological foundations.

They take the time to look deeper and help their clients figure out what works for them.

While NTPs are equipped to work with clients 1:1, either in their own practice or under another practitioner such as a functional doctor or chiropractor, that is not all they can do. NTPs also use their skills and knowledge to run group programs, write books, host podcasts, and create recipes.

What is the NTP Online program like?

The Nutritional Therapy Practitioner Online Program is a ten-month, instructor-led, fully online program encompassing the NTA’s foundational and bio-individual approach to functional, holistic nutrition.

The program takes an in-depth look at the function and dysfunction of each body system, 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, as well as stress and its effect on the body.

Students are empowered with the necessary motivational interviewing techniques, clinical and practical skills, and cutting-edge knowledge to become a highly recognized nutrition and wellness professional in their community.

If you’d like to get a taste of what students learn in the NTP Online program, sign up for our FREE, 8-day Nutritional Therapy 101 course!

The mission of the NTA

We are dedicated to delivering a science-based education that fosters a community of confident holistic nutrition professionals who harness the power of real food and empower people to reconnect with the innate wisdom and unique needs of their bodies, thereby supporting lasting wellness.

In 2013, we expanded our offerings to include a fully online program for the first time, making our transformative program accessible far and wide. Now anyone from anywhere can be a part of our mission.

In the fall of 2017, the NTA launched an eight-week Career Development Course designed to give graduates and other wellness professionals the resources they need to launch successful careers working with clients, building thriving practices, and helping the world heal.

The NTA is constantly growing and adapting to meet the needs of its students and graduates—as well as the global landscape at large so NTPs are equipped to go out and make a serious impact. Together, we can help our communities find lasting wellness.

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.
