What is "Holistic Nutrition"?

Holistic nutrition views nutritional counseling as complex and very personal; an art more than a science. Calories and macronutrients matter, but so do other compounds in foods, along with food quality, your ability to digest nutrients, your relationship with food, and a lot more. Further, holistic nutrition looks beyond dietary habits to other inputs such as sleep, movement, and your environment -- all which impact your nutrient status. 

Additionally, holistic nutrition looks at body systems (e.g. immune, cardiovascular) and how they interact with one another. It views chronic health problems as downstream effects (or symptoms) of systemic dysfunction. The good news is that when one or two root causes are impacting the "whole," most health issues can be addressed through diet and lifestyle modifications alone.

Finally, holistic nutrition empowers you to achieve your health goals. It's a 50/50 partnership in your well being, so that you gain the awareness, knowledge and confidence to move in a positive direction for the long-term.
