Frequently Asked Questions about

a Holistic Nutritionist

What is a holistic nutritionist?

A holistic nutritionist is a nutritionist who specializes in healing clients using evidence-based, holistic principles, whole foods, and natural supplements. Their goal is to heal the client by focusing on the body as a whole rather than only treating symptoms. A holistic nutritionist creates tailored, nutritious eating plans and advises clients on how to improve nutrition and lifestyle while providing guidance on developing healthy habits.
What are the signs of a food allergy?

A food allergy is when the body experiences an allergic reaction due to the body producing histamine and antibodies in response to the offending food. Most people suffering from food allergies experience an immediate response within two hours of consuming the food. Common signs and symptoms of a food allergic reaction include itching, hives, eczema, lip, face, tongue, or throat swelling, dizziness, nasal congestion, wheezing, abdominal pain, and gastrointestinal issues.

What is the difference between a holistic nutritionist and a nutritionist?

The primary difference between a holistic nutritionist and a traditional nutritionist or dietician is that a holistic nutritionist is concerned with addressing the person as a whole and helping the body heal itself through nutrition. Their focus on holistic wellness differs from a conventional nutritionist who will offer more general advice and meal plans. Instead, the holistic nutritionist provides diets and protocols tailored to each client's unique biochemistry and health and wellness goals.
What is food sensitivity testing?

Food sensitivity testing is a diagnostic tool to identify foods that create an abnormal response in the body. Using a blood sample, the food sensitivity test measures the level of IgG reactivity for different foods so clients can avoid offending foods and eliminate unwanted symptoms or health conditions resulting from food sensitivity.
