Frequently Asked Question
Q:What is the difference between a Holistic Nutritionist and a Registered Dietitcian?
A: Registered Dieticians follow government-regulated nutritional guidelines. Most of a Dietician’s nutritional education is derived from Health Canada’s ‘Food Pyramid’, also known as the recommended daily servings of food groups. Dieticians do not recommend herbs, supplements, or any other alternative healing methods. A Dietician’s approach is directed mainly toward the population at large
A Holistic Nutritionist must successfully graduate to obtain their Diploma in order to use the RHN designations from Canadian School of Natural Nutrition. His or her nutritional knowledge is based on the belief that each individual is different and therefore no two people should follow the same nutritional advice. Importance is placed on dietary macro- and micro nutrient needs, including necessary supplemental or herbal recommendations, environmental changes, water intake, exercise, mind/body connection, and other factors. In other words, a Holistic Nutritionist examines the whole person and makes health recommendations accordingly to suit the individual.

Following a holistic nutrition plan has powerful psychological, spiritual and overall health benefits, especially for people who suffer from chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, asthma and tumor growths. A holistic diet strengthens the bones, blood, muscles and vital organs, including the heart, liver, stomach and intestines. Holistic nutrition also follows the belief that physical diseases are directly related to psychological well-being, so developing a healthy and balanced diet can help to relieve stress, memory loss and other mental conditions. Holistic nutrition is designed to heal the body, enrich the mind and cleanse the soul to reach the ultimate healthy lifestyle .
Q: Do I have to take supplements?
A: Yes. We all have genetic weaknesses, including higher needs of some nutrients and higher rates of depletion for certain nutrients. I encourage getting your vitamins, minerals and nutrients mainly from the foods you eat. Although it may not be possible to get all essential vitamins and mineral from the quality of foods we eat a good high quality supplements will be recommended at times.
With more information and after completing a lifestyle assessment form as well as the detailed symptology questionnaire I can then recommend supplements that you need, which means no more wasting money on supplements that your body does not need nor will absorb.
