Q & A Session
Practioners
in Charlottetown, PEI, Canada, were asked a series of questions
about their particular practice or therapy. The following are
all of the answers provided by Rachelle Wood, Registered Holistic
Nutritional Consultant.
Registered
Nutritional Consultant/Practitioners believe it is important to
eat a variety of foods to ensure all essential nutrients are included
in one's diet. A RNC/P will not only recommend dietary lifestyle
changes, but is also trained to design personalized dietary supplementation.
They can also provide guidance in making sense out of conflicting
theories of nutrition.
Nutritionists
have varying levels of education from someone with little or no
education to an individual who has obtained a bachelor's, master's,
or doctoral degree. This is because the term "nutritionist"
is not a legally protected term in most parts of the world. As
a result, the term "nutritionist" is subject to several
interpretations. Many nutritionists appear on television, in newspapers
and magazines, and write nutritional books, which may or may not
have any real informational value regarding diet.
A Registered Nutritional Consultant/Practitioner is trained to
provide individual and group education. A RNC/P's counsel can
include food intake evaluation, food selection and preparation
recommendations, supplementation recommendations, education and
the design of individualized diet programmes based on an assessment
of the body's symptoms.
