A holistic nutritionist interviews each person in depth and looks at them on a unique and individual basis to offer recommendations that will help them recover and re-establish optimal health. A foundational principle is that there is no one single diet for every person on the planet. A holistic nutritionist explores how diet, supplements, lifestyle choices, the health of the mind and spirituality all contribute to the onset or prevention of disease. Holistic nutrition practitioners aim to act as teachers and provide relevant, empirically based knowledge, support, and guidance so that their clients can make the best choices for their personal circumstances and goals.
