What is a Nutritional Therapist?
A nutritional therapist is a health and wellness professional who uses food, functional testing, and lifestyle interventions to support physical and mental health. Unlike a general nutritionist or dietitian, nutritional therapists often focus on root-cause resolution, looking at the bigger picture of gut health, hormone regulation, immune function, and chronic disease.
Many practitioners are trained in functional or integrative nutrition, meaning they consider the whole person, not just isolated symptoms. They may use advanced assessments, food journals, or personalized nutrition plans to guide healing.
Key Services Offered:
- 1:1 nutrition consultations
- Functional lab test interpretation
- Personalized meal and supplement plans
- Group coaching and support sessions
- Online nutrition programs
- Support for food sensitivities and intolerances
- Lifestyle and habit coaching
What Does a Nutritional Therapist Do?
A nutritional therapist identifies health issues linked to vitamin or mineral deficiencies and creates personalized nutrition plans to improve overall wellness. They address symptoms like fatigue, skin problems, and digestive issues through diet and supplements.
Key Roles of a Nutritional Therapist:
1. Analyze symptoms for nutritional imbalances
2. Recommend diet and lifestyle changes
3. Provide supplement guidance
4. Focus on root causes, not just conditions
5. Work independently or with healthcare teams
Nutritional therapy supports long-term health and complements medical care.
What’s the Difference Between a Nutritionist and a Nutritional Therapist?
While both help with food and health, nutritional therapists often receive additional training in functional and holistic nutrition. They focus on identifying the root causes of symptoms, not just calorie counts or food groups.
Do I Need a Referral to See a Nutritional Therapist?
No referral is needed. You can book directly with a practitioner on Sofia Health.
Can I Work with a Nutritional Therapist If I Have a Diagnosed Medical Condition?
Yes. Nutritional therapists often work alongside your medical team to offer nutrition support for conditions like IBS, diabetes, autoimmune diseases, and more.
What’s Included in a Typical Nutritional Therapy Plan?
A typical plan may include:
1. Meal plans or food recommendations
2. Supplement guidance
3. Functional lab tests (if applicable)
4. Lifestyle changes (e.g., sleep, stress, hydration)
5. Follow-up coaching or accountability support
How Many Sessions Do I Need?
It varies by individual goals. Some clients meet biweekly or monthly, while others book intensives or group sessions. You can discuss this during your first session.
What is Nutritional Therapy Used for?
Treatment is based on nutrition. It includes checking a person’s nutrition status and giving the right foods or nutrients to treat conditions such as those caused by diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. It may involve simple changes in a person’s diet, or intravenous or tube feeding. Medical nutrition therapy may help patients recover more quickly and spend less time in the hospital. Also called nutrition therapy.
Why is Nutritional Therapy Important for Your Health?
Nutritional therapy plays a vital role in supporting overall health, whether you're managing a chronic condition or simply aiming to feel your best. By focusing on whole, unprocessed foods and tailored dietary plans, this approach helps improve energy, strengthen immunity, and reduce the risk of disease. Nutritional therapists evaluate your medical history and current health to create a personalized nutrition plan that promotes long-term wellness. While it’s not a substitute for conventional medicine, nutritional therapy can be a powerful complement when practiced under professional guidance.
What is Medical Nutrition Therapy?
Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) is a personalized, evidence-based nutritional approach used to manage and treat specific medical conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, and kidney disorders. Developed by a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) and approved by a physician, MNT is typically delivered in hospitals, outpatient clinics, or via telehealth. It focuses on improving patient outcomes through tailored nutrition plans grounded in clinical research.
Does Nutritional Therapy Work?
With the guidance of a nutrition professional, nutritional therapy can play a key part in rehabilitation. It can help rebuild the body's natural defenses by introducing gradual dietary changes to fuel the body with essential vitamins and minerals that boost immune function and aid overall well-being.

What is Nutritional Therapy?
Nutritional Therapy is a science-based, personalized approach to optimizing health through dietary and lifestyle changes. Rooted in ancient naturopathic traditions and modern nutrition science, it focuses on using unprocessed, whole foods and targeted nutrients to address the root causes of various health issues.
Benefits of Working with a Nutritional Therapist
Working with a local or virtual nutritional therapist brings several advantages:
1. Personalized Plans
No one-size-fits-all diet. Nutritional therapists customize nutrition and lifestyle strategies based on your health history, lab results, and goals.
2. Root-Cause Approach
Instead of treating symptoms, they help uncover and address the underlying causes of imbalance — whether it's inflammation, nutrient deficiencies, or digestive dysfunction.
3. Ongoing Accountability
Through follow-ups and regular check-ins, you get continued support and motivation for lasting behavior change.
4. Education and Empowerment
Learn how food, habits, stress, and sleep affect your health — and what steps you can take to feel better long-term.
5. Whole-Person Support
Nutritional therapists work holistically, supporting physical, emotional, and even cognitive health.
Conditions Nutritional Therapy Can Help With
Nutritional therapists offer support across a wide range of concerns, including:
1. Digestive Health & Gut Support
- Bloating, IBS, and acid reflux
- Leaky gut syndrome
- Food allergies and intolerances
- Microbiome imbalances
2. Mental and Cognitive Health
- Mood swings, anxiety, and depression
- Brain fog and focus issues
- Sleep disturbances
3. Inflammation & Chronic Illness
- Autoimmune conditions
- Fibromyalgia
- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
- Inflammatory skin issues (e.g., eczema, acne)
4. Weight Management & Metabolic Health
- Sustainable fat loss
- Blood sugar balancing
- PCOS and insulin resistance
- Thyroid health
5. Women’s Health & Hormones
- Menstrual irregularities
- PMS and menopause symptoms
- Fertility and prenatal nutrition
Whether you’re looking for general wellness optimization or targeted support for a specific condition, Nutritional Therapists offer a functional, evidence-based approach tailored to your body’s needs.
What to Expect in Your First Session
Your first session with a nutritional therapist is a deep dive into your health story.

3. Goal setting and wellness priorities
