What is Holistic Nutrition?
The philosophy of holistic nutrition is that one's health is an expression of the complex interplay between the physical and chemical, mental and emotional, as well as spiritual and environmental aspects of one's life and being.
Holistic nutrition include unrefined, unprocessed, organic and locally grown whole foods. It's an approach to consciously eating and considers everything that's eaten and focuses on overall health.
Holistic nutritionists are specialized nutritionists that heal patients using natural foods and products instead of conventional medical treatments. They also seek to remedy the entire or “whole” person (mind, body, and soul) as opposed to curing isolated symptoms.
