What is a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner? What will I be doing?
First off, if you are new here, Hi, my name is Aubrey and I went through schooling to become a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner and then also went to school to be a Restorative Wellness Practitioner- Level 1. I also am the founder/owner of Real Peel Juice & Nutrition. You can read more about my story, here.
Back to it…
The NTA program develops on a few important foundations, Nutrient-Dense Whole foods, Digestion, Hydration, Blood Sugar Regulation, Dietary Fats and Minerals. Our approach is focused on the individual. The idea of bio-individuality, meaning that each person is biologically unique, guides us away from one size fits all programs. Each person’s body functions differently, so I dive deeper to develop a unique diet and lifestyle plan to get their body functioning optimally, as it should be.
To be an NTP, we train on 3 levels. The first is like any other schooling. We read, study, do homework assignments, etc. Then, we start on the Functional Evaluation and then end with the Lingual-Neuro Testing.
To be a Restorative Wellness Practitioner, we go even deeper into the clinical side with lab testing, like the GI-Map, which is a very comprehensive stool test that I use with clients and then also food sensitivity testing, that I definitely use less often.
These two programs are like a perfect marriage to give a well-rounded clinical experience, but allows me to look at your health from different aspects. It’s not JUST “oh, eat healthy and you’ll be good.”
What’s It Like to Work Together?
So, yea, all of that above is good and well, but how does that help you?
My main focus is Gastroparesis and Digestive Health.
Most of you know that I have Gastroparesis and went through my own healing journey, but there are SO MANY people out there that suffer and the doctors have no answers. Or the answers are just trying every medication on the shelf. So, I went through my own journey and then condensed all of the best parts of it to help those suffering, start their own healing journey, and give them hope that there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
We start with a comprehensive nutritional assessment, GI-Map testing to get a good idea of what’s actually going on inside with values we can physically see, not just feel, and then everything is customized from there.
We have calls to continue to tweak and adjust your healing plan, we address the ROOT cause of your issues, not just put a bandaid on the symptoms and call it a day.
We work on mindset around healing, living healthy and how to live a life that feels right FOR YOU. Not my idea of a good life for you.
When something isn’t working, we pivot. (insert giggle here because it always makes me think of Friends) It’s truly all about you and how we can take your health back.
The best part? I’m not here to judge you, test you, talk about your weight (unless that’s something you want to do), make you live like me or anything in between. We are all doing the best we can when it comes to our health, and so I am here to be your guide, to point you in the right direction and give you the tools to get there. I am your partner in this healing journey. I am the person I wish I had when I was at my lowest.
My family and friends were amazing, but to have someone who has gone through what I had gone through would have been amazing. They get the ins and outs, truly.
Are You a Good Fit?
You might be thinking, this sounds good, but is it truly right for me? Well, let me help you out. Here is who I work with:
Both men and women, however I truly mainly work with women, as they are the ones who mostly suffer with digestive issues. But honestly, men seem to like to try things on their own most of the time, but when they do want my help, I am here!
Diagnosed with Gastroparesis or suffering from any of the slew of Digestive Issues (IBS, Crohns, bloating, unexplained weight gain, you name it.)
Willing to make changes to their life, not just wanting a quick fix
Needing someone to be there for them, guide them and know that they can do this
Someone that knows that this is a journey, and that after the first week, you will not magically be cured. It didn’t take you a week to get sick, it won’t take you a week to get better.
And the best part is, if we aren’t a fit, THAT’S OKAY! I will always offer help any way I can, but sometimes people just don’t jive lol
On the flip side, does this sound like you?
