A Nutrition Specialist Can Help You Achieve a Nutritional Diet

 

The essential parts of a person’s overall health and well-being are good nutrition, physical activity, and a healthy body weight. When it comes to learning more about nutrition, there is a lot of information available on the internet, making it challenging  to figure out the healthiest way to eat. It makes sense that many people invest in a professional nutritionist or dietitian because they are equipped with evidenced based, up-to-date knowledge in this field. Since nutrition is never stagnant, the information and advice seems to change daily, it is essential that professional guidance can be key to a healthy lifestyle.

It is important to note that there is a difference between a Registered Dietitian (RD) and a nutritionist. In most US states, one must be Licensed to call themselves a Nutritionist. In other states, many call themselves a nutritionist with no verified experience or knowledge base.

An Integrative and Functional Nutritionist takes it a step further, looks at the big picture, figures out all the pieces to the puzzle for each individual. An Integrative and Functional Nutritionist typically has a master’s degree and has pursued post graduate training in this area. They may order blood tests, perform a nutritional physical and/or a dietary analysis to determine if a nutritional diet is supporting your body’s needs. What is healthy for one, may not be healthy for another depending on health and diet history, genetics, fitness level, age, and goals.

Bottom line to any healthy diet is feeling great, having more energy, improving overall health, and boosting your mood. Each person has their own optimal diet. An Integrative and Functional Nutritionist can help you to learn what that is for you.
