Holistic nutrition is a philosophy that sees health as a reflection of the complex interplay between various aspects of a person's life, including physical, chemical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and environmental factors. Professionals trained in holistic nutrition approach health and healing from a whole-person perspective, emphasizing the unique needs of each individual. By using nutritional education as their primary tool, a holistic nutritionist works to empower their clients to achieve optimal health.
Although there is some overlap between the scope of practice for a health coach and holistic nutritionist, there are key differences. While health coaches focus on motivational interviewing techniques (MIT), holistic nutritionists receive extensive clinical education and knowledge that broadens their scope of practice beyond health coaching.
Some states restrict the use of the occupational title "nutritionist" and require a license or state certification. Therefore, the term "nutrition professional" is used to encompass all types of careers in the field, such as nutrition educator, nutrition consultant, natural chef, and more.
Holistic nutritionists advise individuals, families, and groups on how to improve their diet, lifestyle, and attitude to promote health. They help individuals with previously diagnosed illnesses identify biochemical imbalances and toxicities that contribute to poor health. Their advice and support is founded on evidence-based and holistic principles.
A Holistic nutritionist can offer a range of services and programs to support their clients' health and wellness goals. These may include:
Diet and Lifestyle Evaluation: A holistic nutritionist will evaluate a client's current diet and lifestyle habits, identify areas that may be contributing to poor health, and provide suggestions for improvement.
Healthy Eating Education: A holistic nutritionist teaches clients how to choose and prepare nutritious foods to support their health and wellness. In 2018, Americans spent 44% (and rising) of the household budget on fast food or food away from home.
Shopping: A holistic nutritionist can offer information on shopping to help clients choose healthy, whole foods at the grocery store.
Family Meal Planning: A holistic nutritionist can work with families to create meal plans that support their health and wellness goals.
Stress Management: A holistic nutritionist may offer suggestions for managing stress, which can have a significant impact on overall health.
Meal Plans for Weight, Mood, and Energy: A Holistic nutritionist and weight loss coach can create personalized meal plans to support weight loss, improve mood, and increase energy levels. In the U.S the overweight and obesity rates are about 70% of adults are overweight and about 35% are obese. Fatigue being another huge issues finding that 38% of US workers reported being fatigued in a recent study.
Wellness Supplementation: A holistic nutritionist may recommend wellness supplements to support their clients' health and wellness goals as nutrition deficiencies are highly prevalent.
In addition to these services, a holistic nutritionist may also offer therapeutic services, such as intake assessments, therapeutic menu and nutrient advice, research on health issues, follow-up support, laboratory assessment review, and recommendations for health professionals and consumers.
