NUTRITIONAL THERAPY GOALS 

The fundamental goal of Nutritional Therapy is to encourage people to become knowledgeable about—and responsible for—their own health. An NTC helps individuals reach their optimal level of overall health by supporting and teaching gut health through a nutrient-dense diet. Nutritional Therapy is not designed, however, to treat any specific disease or medical condition. 

HEALTH CONCERNS 
If you suffer from a medical, pathological or psychological condition, you need to consult with an appropriate healthcare provider. An NTC is not a substitute for your family physician or other appropriate healthcare provider. A Nutritional Therapy Practitioner is not trained nor licensed to diagnose or treat medical/pathological/psychological conditions, illnesses, injuries, or diseases or prescribe medications.  If you are under the care of another healthcare provider, it is important that you contact your other healthcare providers and alert them to your use of nutritional supplements that may be suggested by your NTC. Nutritional Therapy may be a beneficial adjunct to more traditional care, and it may also alter your need for medication, so it is important you always keep your physician informed of changes in your nutritional program.

If you are using medications of any kind, you are required to alert the NTC to such use, as well as to discuss any potential interactions between medications and nutritional products with your pharmacist. If you have any physical or emotional reaction to Nutritional Therapy recommended supplements, discontinue their use immediately, and contact your NTC to ascertain if the reaction is adverse or an indication of the natural course of the body’s adjustment to the therapy.

COMMUNICATION

Every client is a biochemical individual, and it is not possible to determine in advance how your body will react to the nutrients or supplements you need. It is sometimes necessary to adjust your program as we proceed until your body can begin to properly accept targeted nutrients geared to correct imbalances or deficiencies. Stay in contact with the NTC so they can stay abreast of your progress and provide the best course of action going forward.  If your other healthcare providers have any questions regarding Nutritional Therapy, they are free to contact your NTC.
