What is a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP)?
A Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP) works with clients to support their health by identifying stressors in the body and addressing nutritional deficiencies. This includes personalised plans to improve digestion, balance blood sugar, and restore overall wellness.
How does a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner help?
FNTPs assess various systems in the body, including digestion, cardiovascular, endocrine, immune, the nervous system, and detoxification. Using techniques like Functional Clinical Assessments and Lingual Neuro Testing, they create customised nutritional plans to address deficiencies and optimise health.
What is a Functional Clinical Assessment?
This assessment involves palpating specific points on the body to identify stressed organ systems. Clients rate tenderness on a scale of 1 to 10, allowing FNTPs to connect with the body's innate responses and prioritise nutritional support.
What is Lingual Neuro Testing (LNT)?
LNT is a biofeedback tool where specific nutrients are placed on the tongue.This technique helps determine what nutrients are needed to support organ systems by observing changes in tenderness within 15 seconds.
What can I expect during a session with an FNTP?
During a session, the FNTP will perform assessments like the Functional Clinical Assessment and Lingual Neuro Testing. You'll receive a personalised nutrition plan tailored to your body's needs to address stressors and improve overall health.
Do FNTPs only focus on nutrition?
While nutrition is the core focus, FNTPs also consider the energetic nature of the body, helping clients understand how their nervous system and environment impact overall health.
What types of conditions can an FNTP support?
FNTPs can assist with issues such as digestion, gut health, blood sugar imbalances, fatty acid deficiencies, mineral depletion, inflammation, malabsorption, dehydration, hormone imbalance, food sensitivities, immune issues, autoimmune and detox as well as stress-related symptoms.
Is the approach one-size-fits-all or personalised?
The approach is entirely personalised. Techniques like Lingual Neuro Testing ensure that every plan is tailored to the individual's unique needs.
Are there resources available to support the nutritional plans?
Yes, clients may receive access to additional educational materials and recipes, such as PDFs and ebooks, to support their nutritional journey.
Where can I read testimonials from other clients?
