NUTRITIONAL COUNSELLING
Dr. DeVita is a Registered Nutritional Consultant Practitioner (R.N.C.P.) and has been a member of the International Organization of Nutritional Consultants (IONC) since its inception in 1983.
The main focus of Nutritional Counselling 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 bio-chemically 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 hard to achieve optimal health through food alone. In such cases, RNCs 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.
- Nutritional Consulting is not yet a regulated profession. However, because IONC ensures continuing high standards of education for R.N.C.P.s, some insurance companies are now covering their services.
- The designation "Registered Nutritional Consulting Practitioner" signifies a nutritional practitioner who has met the standards of the IONC - a voluntary, independent, non-profit association. We recommend that you ensure that your Nutritional Consultant is registered with the IONC.
