What is a Registered Nutritional Consultant Practitioner?

Registered Nutritional Consultant Practitioners (RNCP) are professionals trained in holistic nutrition and complementary therapies. RNCP’s can educate you about the benefits of a sound nutritional program and healthy lifestyle to encourage your body to achieve optimum health and energy.

Did you know that every person is biochemically unique? RNCP’s can assess individual nutritional imbalances and weaknesses to enhance your immune system and recommend specific diets and nutritional support to help you build and maintain well-being.

Confused and frustrated with trying to figure out what diet is the healthiest for you? RNCP’s can help you make the best possible food choices. It is important to eat a variety of foods to ensure all essential nutrients are included in the diet. An RNCP will introduce new dietary habits, incorporating the latest nutritional breakthroughs. However, it is not always possible to achieve optimal health through food alone. In such cases, RNCP’s are trained to design personalized dietary supplement programs.

RNCP’s can help you to navigate confidently through the maze of information out there, designing an individual program respecting your unique biochemistry and enhance your well-being.

RNCP’s are certified by the International Organization of Nutritional Consultants(IONC). The IONC is a voluntary, non-profit, incorporated organization. It was founded in 1983 to create public awareness about holistic nutritional consulting and to regulate the standards of education for holistic nutritional consultants. Qualifications for those who apply for professional membership as RNCP’s are independently assessed.

Professional members of IONC are those who have met its strict educational and ethical standards. They are granted exclusive use of the title, “Registered Nutritional Consulting Practitioner” (RNCP).

A visit to an RNCP will be an educational experience where you will learn to make lifestyle changes that have a long lasting effect on your quality of life.

Many extended health care plans are now covering RNCP service fees.
