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.

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”

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 fiber 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.

The Main Focus of Nutritional Counseling is Wellness and Building Health

· The cells in our bodies are mostly 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 RNCP will introduce new dietary habits. It may be difficult to achieve optimal health through food alone these days. 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.
