What does a Certified Nutritional Practitioner do to help clients?
Certified Nutritional Practitioners focus on a client’s symptoms on an individual basis. We do not believe that there should be one guide for everyone, because each person is bio-chemically unique, and their individual nutritional imbalances and weaknesses must be assessed. CNPs can help clients choose appropriate foods and supplements and educate them about the benefits of a balanced nutritional program and healthy lifestyle to encourage the body to achieve optimum health and vitality. CNPs work toward getting to the root cause of illness or imbalance, considering the effects of stress, toxicity, food and environmental sensitivities, and pollution as important factors. We also consider the impact on health of food additives, preservatives, antibiotics, chemicals in personal care and household cleaning products and pesticides.
