| What is a Registered Nutritional Consulting Practitioner |
| An R.N.C.P. is a qualified practitioner who provides to individuals
or groups, guidance pertaining to the building and maintenance of
nutritional well-being. Such counsel may include: |
 Recommending
food selection and preparation |
| Recommending
food supplements (vitamins, minerals, enzymes, glandular concentrates,
proteins, essential fatty acids). |
| Educating
clients about the benefits of a sound nutritional program to encourage
the body to heal itself. |
| Evaluation
of their client's food intake, usually over a given week. Particular
attention is paid to the proportions of protein, fat, starches, sugars
and fibre consumed. |
| Designing a
program specifically for each client taking into consideration such
factors as height, weight, age, sex, level of exercise or physical
activity, dietary goals, food preferences, sensitivities to specific
foods, dietary habits, religious beliefs respecting the diet and
nutritional deficiencies. |
| |
| The Main Focus of Nutritional Counseling is Wellness and Building
Health |
| Ultimately,
the cells in our bodies are built from the raw materials we eat. The
more suitable our food choices are to our specific requirements, the
better cell structures we can build. |
| Since every
person is biochemically unique, individual nutritional imbalances and
weaknesses must be assessed. |
| An R.N.C.P.
will introduce new dietary habits, incorporating the latest nutritional
breakthroughs, but it may be difficult to achieve optimal health through
food alone. In such cases, RNCPs are trained to design personalized
dietary supplement programs. |
| Environmental
pollution, metal toxicity, parasites and allergies are among other
factors that must be considered in constructing a nutritional program. |
| |
| Why Seek the Services of an R.N.C.P. |
| Clients may
wish guidance in the following areas: |
| Weight
Normalization |
| Pregnancy or
Lactation |
| Family
Nutrition, Children, Seniors |

| Understanding

| Sports
nutrition |
| Learning how

| |
| A visit to an R.N.C.P. will be an educational experience where one
will learn to make lifestyle changes that will have a long-lasting
effect on the quality of life. By law, anyone can call them self a
nutritional counselor, but only those who have thoroughly studied
nutrition and have met the requirements of the
International Organization
of Nutritional Consultants (IONC) are granted the R.N.C.P.
designation. |
