What is Nutritional Therapy? Holistic and Bio-individual Nutrition

Jul 8, 2019 | Nutrition Articles, Perspectives | 0 comments

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
  • Social media influencing
  • Hosting podcasts
  • Hosting nutritional coaching groups
  • Developing meal planning systems or businesses
  • Lecturing or speaking at events and conferences
  • Authoring books
  • Hosting retreats
  • Creating online classes
  • And so much more…

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!
