Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT IS A HOLISTIC NUTRITIONIST?

As a Holistic Nutritionist, my goal is to help optimize your health and prevent disease, rather than chase it. I work with clients to create personalized plans that support both physical and mental health. Our initial consult is generally an hour long where we have the opportunity to explore your health history to help determine the root cause of the signs and symptoms your experiencing. Rather than masking the symptoms using medication, we use nutrition, natural supplementation and other lifestyle suggestions to encourage your body to heal, so that you can look and feel your best. 

 

Some areas that Holistic Nutrition can help with are:

 

  • Sustainable Weight-Loss

  • Digestion (Indigestion, Bloating, Constipation, IBS, Colitis, Crohns)

  • Skin Health (Eczema, Psoriasis, Acne)

  • Hormonal Imbalances (PMS, PCOS, Blood Sugar Management)

  • Chronic Fatigue

  • Insomnia

  • Auto-immune conditions

WHAT DESIGNATION DOES A HOLISTIC NUTRITIONISTS HAVE?

Nutritionists are not government regulated yet, so it's important to look at their certifications. 

​

At the Institute of Holistic Nutrition, students graduate with a Diploma in Applied Holistic Nutrition and have earned the designation of Certified Nutritional Practitioner (CNP), with full qualifications to receive the Registered Nutritional Consulting Practitioner (RNCP) or Registered Orthomolecular Health Practitioner (ROHP) designations or the Natural Nutrition Clinical Practitioner (NNCP) designation from the CANNP.

​

WILL MY HEALTH INSURANCE COVER HOLISTIC NUTRITIONIST SERVICES?

Select insurance companies cover the cost of Holistic Nutrition services including Manulife and Greenshield Insurance. Other companies offer “Flex Plans” or “Health Spending Accounts” that allow employees to use their funds toward additional health services.


It is recommended that you contact your insurance company to clarify if nutritional consulting services are covered. In the case that you do not have coverage, receipts may be used as a tax deduction for medical expenses.

WHAT IS THE DURATION & COST OF CONSULTATIONS?

Initial consultations are 60 minutes long. During this time, we will go through your health history, health concerns and goals to create a personalized plan to suit your needs. Follow-up appointments are 30 minutes and are schedule 2-3 weeks following the first consultation.
