Nutritional management is a way to promote health through nutrition and lifestyle support. It is a whole-body approach that addresses the potential underlying causes, rather than focusing on symptoms.
Nutritional management involves a wide range of tools that are used to assess individual health status and identify potential nutritional imbalances. The focus is always on the individual client and the root cause of the imbalances, not on the symptoms.
Many chronic conditions, as well as day-to-day fluctuations in health and wellbeing, can be linked to individual nutrition and lifestyle factors. People can see stark improvements in their health when they implement changes to their diet and lifestyle.
Nutrition evaluations may recommend the use of:
-
Nutritional supplements, such as vitamins and/or minerals
