Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioners (FNTPs) are part of the alternative, holistic health community and are trained by the Nutritional Therapy Association to use a foundational and holistic approach in assessing imbalances in the body. The training is evidence and science-based and relies on the body's innate ability to heal itself. We seek the root cause of issues using the six nutritional foundations which are diet, digestion, fatty acid balance, hydration, mineral balance and blood sugar regulation.

​

FNTPs believe that a whole food, nutrient-dense, real food diet is the foundation of health. Our bodies are designed to intake healthy food in order to obtain the nutrients necessary for a vital life. However, if our diet does not contain enough healthy nutrients or is unable to absorb the nutrients, health will suffer, and sickness or illness will eventually follow. This can take the form of decreased energy, hormone imbalances, digestive problems, autoimmune conditions, mental health issues, skin issues and even weight gain.

FNTPs respect the uniqueness of each client and strive to help reverse the negative effects of the modern diet by identifying and correcting imbalances. With each client, the goal is to balance the six foundations of health, and, through balancing these systems in the body and eating a whole food, nutrient dense diet, we can bring homeostasis back to the body.
