One of the questions I get asked most often is what is the difference between a nutritionist, a dietitian, and a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner? Aren't they all the same thing?
Functional NUTRITIONAL THERAPY PRACTITIONER (FNTP)
An FNTP is certified by the Nutritional Therapy Association. FNTP’s draw on a holistic approach to healing, which considers the whole person – body, mind, and spirit. They recognize that disease is complex so they focus on the concept of bio-individuality: where every individual has a specific genetic, ancestral and geographic makeup that determines their own unique nutritional needs. Many nutrition programs fail because they take a “one size fits all” approach that ignores bio-individuality.
​
FNTP’s usually work in private practice. In my practice, I perform a comprehensive assessment, which includes an Initial Interview, Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (300+ detailed symptom questions), a Food Journal and a Functional Clinical Assessment (FCA). The FCA consists of lingual-neuro, muscle, reflex, and energetic testing in order to further assess your biochemical needs and make appropriate, personalized diet and lifestyle recommendations.
NUTRITIONIST
This can be anyone that studies and/or claims to be an expert in the field of nutrition. It is not as regulated and tends to have a broader, more general meaning.
REGISTERED DIETITIAN
A regulated healthcare professional licensed to assess, diagnose, and treat nutritional problems. They usually work in a hospital setting and may have a more western-medicine vs. holistic view on health. Dietitians are an excellent resource.
