Eat Better – Do Better – Feel Better
Holistic nutrition is a special combination of modern science and the philosophy that each person has unique nutritional requirements.
Those trained in holistic nutrition evaluate your nutritional needs and develop personalized health plans, which include nutrient-dense whole foods, lifestyle recommendations, and naturally sourced supplements, in order to bring your health back into a state of homeostasis. They assess your health through one-on-one consultations and detailed questionnaires, and then provide health and lifestyle recommendations that are tailored to your needs and lifestyle.
Nikki’s Nutrition creates individualized nutrition plans and recipes and helps you follow your plan. We assist you in understanding food labels and provide you with grocery shopping advice. Your stress levels, exercise routine, quality of sleep and relaxation, and overall lifestyle habits and practices, including smoking or alcohol consumption, are assessed. Nikki’s Nutrition will dig a little deeper and help you to discover your triggers to overeating, help you manage social situations and monitor your progress. Guidance is given to help you achieve your health goals, but most importantly we educate and empower you, encouraging self-responsibility on your journey to optimal health.
Unlike Dietitians, those trained in holistic nutrition are self-regulated and choose to forego a degree in Dietetics. Their comprehensive training focuses on the sciences, bodily functions and symptoms, whole foods and quality food production, naturally sourced supplements, healthy lifestyle practices, and the body-mind connection.
Certified Holistic Nutritional Consultants have been trained in all functions of the body, including the digestive and intestinal systems, the immune system, food intolerance and allergies, the causes of inflammation, and blood sugar regulation, to name a few. They are also well informed about the connections between the environment, toxins, food production and preparation, and the resulting quality of food. They recommend whole foods that are natural, alive and good quality and a healthy environment.
