What is Holistic Nutrition?

Holistic is a term conceived in the early 20th Century to describe inclusivity or holism. It is concerned with the notion that reality is an interconnected whole and focuses on the total entity and interdependence of the diverse parts of a totality.

Nutrition itself is not a new “science”. The word as we know it today finds its roots in Latin and the translation from the original nÅ«trÄ«re, meaning to nourish. It has become widely known that several ancient cultures practiced the use of food as medicine as far back as 3000 BCE in the region of the fertile Nile.

Holistic Nutrition looks at the whole person and is not solely interested in food; food is the medium through which the body can and does, if it is in a state of homeostasis, obtain usable isolated nutrients. Holistic Nutrition is also interested in the "How, When, Where, Why, and Whom". It is here that we find our science; a special combination of modern science and time-tested wisdom, based on the philosophy that each person has unique nutritional requirements. 

This blending of the two allows us to celebrate research outcomes that promote longevity, connectedness, and culture, both ancient and new, the good and the bad of each, and of course we do look at food, whole food.

Holistic Nutrition also means mindful eating — an approach to eating in which you are consciously considering everything you consume, placing focus on eating unrefined, unprocessed, organic, and locally grown whole foods, in or as close to their natural state for optimal health and well-being.

What are the benefits of seeing a Holistic Nutrition Practitioner?

1-1-1024x683_edited.jpg

Certified Holistic Nutrition Professionals are bound by a very clear code of ethics and a well-defined scope of practice, and they consider both the ancient wisdom brought forward into the modern world, and partnered with the methods of modern research. They are educated in a curriculum balanced in both hard and social sciences. The first is represented through courses in Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology, Chemistry, and Bio-Chemistry, demonstrating how nutrients are utilized in bodily processes, pathways, and protection.  The social sciences, defined by the study of people, individually and in groups, their customs and relationships, are respectively studied in courses focused on Prevention, Life-stages, Ecology, and Symptomatology.

A Holistic Nutrition plan involves the use of evidence-based techniques to change one’s diet and lifestyle. This may also include detoxification, the process of removing the unnatural foods that have become standard elements of the western diet, and introducing whole, natural foods for the promotion of health. By following a holistic nutrition plan, you will make a big lifestyle shift and as a result, you may experience significant health benefits, including disease prevention, increased energy levels, a stronger immune system, happier, healthy skin and hair, better sleep, weight loss/weight management and so much more.
