WHAT
IS A REGISTERED NUTRITIONAL CONSULTANT?
Registered Nutritional Consultants (RNC's) are professionals
trained in nutrition and complementary therapies who educate
individuals and groups about the benefits of a sound nutritional
program and a healthy lifestyle to encourage the body
to achieve optimum health.
Since
every person is biochemically unique, individual nutritional
imbalances and weaknesses must be assessed. A RNC will
recommend specific diets and nutritional support to help
their clients build and maintain well-being.
RNC's
help others to make the best possible food choices. It
is important to eat a wide variety to ensure all essential
nutrients are included in the diet. A RNC 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, RNC's are trained
to personalize dietary supplement programs.
