Virgil said, “Health is wealth…”.This statement is even more significant this year, as we have had to focus on strengthening our bodies against a virus that has threatened the well-being of many, globally. I have had many people connect with me about various health options that are available to them, so they might support and improve their health, and hopefully gain real wealth in the process. Seeking natural solutions to maintain and protect one’s health, is a great avenue to pursue, and in this context, finding a Certified Holistic Nutritionist, is a great choice.

Interestingly, although natural health is a frequently mentioned topic these days, people are still quite unaware about the role of a Certified Holistic Nutritionist.  This article hopefully will provide the top 5 reasons why you need to have access to and confer with, a Holistic Nutritionist. 

First of all, what is a Certified Holistic Nutritionist?

A Certified Holistic Nutritionist is someone who has been trained specifically in a program and certified in the uses of how whole foods, supplements and lifestyle changes, can make a difference to the proper function and healing of the human body.  They view the body and the person as a complete whole (mind, body and soul) and seek to address and support the needs of the entire individual by understanding the cause of the client’s concern.  Nutritionists do not diagnose health issues, this role in natural health is reserved for the Naturopath, who is a trained doctor, addressing conditions and illnesses, using natural medicines and approaches as opposed to a traditional medical doctor. 

So why do you need to see a Holistic Nutritionist? Here are my top five (5) reasons:

You need to support a condition – Let us say you have been diagnosed with a condition, such as Prediabetes, or Type II Diabetes, or an Autoimmune condition and your doctor has said you need to change your diet.  This would be a great time to make an appointment to see a Certified Holistic Nutritionist, in order to get a grasp, not only of how the condition works, in your body, but to become reliably informed about the best foods for you to eat and those to avoid going forward. A Certified Holistic Nutritionist, will be your guide to get you on the right track and to lay a clear path for you to manage your diagnosis, utilizing the best food selections, tailored for you.

You need to change your eating habits – Maybe you have been thinking that you need to make a change.  You have heard buzz words, like ‘eat clean’, non-gmo, gluten-free, paleo, keto, but you are not quite sure on where and how to get started. Furthermore, you are totally unsure of what you need to do, to make sure you are actually eating well for your body type and for your current health state.  A Certified Holistic Nutritionist, will help you get on the right track, and will troubleshoot with you, on how to be clear about, what is right for your well-being and state of health.

You need support for your busy life – You know how to eat clean.  You have done this before and now all you want, are the right tools to help to get you going and moving forward with your healthy lifestyle.  You are aware that food is an important component and now you realize that getting the right support can make your life so much easier.  A Certified Holistic Nutritionist will help deliver a suitable meal plan, with all the required loaded nutrition, to help you to achieve your healthy lifestyle goals.  You are in great hands, as you share your needs, knowing that you made the best decision, to move forward, by getting the help of a skilled Nutritional expert, that not only knows food and how it functions in the body, but takes into account your whole being and lifestyle, to provide you with the optimal health solutions.

You need to build awareness to be well - You thought food was just for eating but need to learn more about how it can help your entire being.   You shy away from learning more about food and the goodness it has to offer your body, because, you were not taught how to have a relationship with food and the nutrition it can provide.  You want to improve your health, and are a little nervous about where to start.  A Certified Holistic Nutritionist, will support you, and give you the direction you need to get to the next level; A trained nutritional practitioner will help you learn to listen to your body, its uniqueness and finding the right lifestyle adjustments and nourishing foods, that will provide the simplest of changes towards a better you! 

You are confused by what you read on the Internet - You have many questions and are not quite sure where to turn.  You have been reading the Internet extensively and have found conflicting advice.  You are not sure who or what information to trust ‘out there’.   You in fact, find this whole natural health world, strange and a bit intimidating.  This is a great opportunity to let a Certified Holistic Nutritionist make things clear and straightforward for you.  After all, your health is important and you need to build a relationship with someone you like and trust. If there ever was a time to get in touch with a Certified Holistic Nutritionist, the time would be now.
