“The doctor of the future will give no medicine but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.” ~Thomas Edison
What is a Holistic Nutritionist?
A holistic nutritionist, or holistic nutritional coach, focuses on a natural, whole-food approach to improving diet and health. Their scope of practice includes educating clients on the basics of nutrition and developing personalized holistic diets that incorporate natural and organic foods, supplements, and food-based treatments for chronic health conditions. Essentially, holistic nutritional coaches use their knowledge of how food impacts the body to create nutrition and supplement-based protocols designed to help clients address specific health issues. This differs from holistic health and wellness coaching, which focuses more on lifestyle, stress management, and overall well-being.
Like life, health, and wellness coaches, holistic nutritionists do not present themselves as licensed nutritionists or registered dietitians unless they hold those credentials. They are not licensed healthcare providers and do not diagnose or treat medical conditions. Licensed professionals in these areas should always be consulted for specific health concerns.
Holistic Health/Wellness vs. Holistic Nutritional Coaching
Though the terms are often used interchangeably, there is a key distinction. Holistic nutritional coaching dives deeply into your specific health challenges by exploring your entire health history up to the present day. This type of transformational coaching requires honesty and transparency—with both your coach and you. True healing can only begin when you’re ready to confront where you are and where you’re headed without making necessary changes.
Holistic health and wellness coaching, on the other hand, focuses on small, impactful lifestyle changes that support general health and life improvement. In this type of coaching, you are in control of the process, and the coach acts more as a guide. One thing we always emphasize: you are responsible for your progress. While we celebrate your successes, your achievements are your own!
Holistic Nutritional Coaching vs Registered Nutritionist
A registered nutritionist is a licensed medical professional who meets state-mandated requirements, including medical training and passing a credentialed exam. In Louisiana, for example, a registered nutritionist (RN) must meet specific educational and licensing standards to hold the title.
We do not present ourselves as registered or licensed nutritionists. Instead, we are holistic nutrition professionals who promote healthier lifestyles through personalized diet and lifestyle adjustments, holistic evaluations, and guidance on stress management, herbal supplements, and more. Some of the ways we support our clients include:
- Dietary evaluation and planning based on individual needs
- Guidance on food choices and preparation, including recipes
- Natural therapies to support detoxification and improve organ function
- Functional medicine recommendations
- Collaboration with other complementary and alternative healthcare practitioners
