Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP) is a holistic nutrition professional trained and recognized by the Nutritional Therapy Association. The focus of an FNTP is to help support individuals’ health and vitality through individualized holistic nutrition and lifestyle factors, as well as supporting nutritional and physiological deficiencies through the NTA’s Foundations. FNTPs are trained to support optimal function of the body by assessing and addressing the health of the diet, digestive system, blood sugar regulation system, fatty acid status, mineral balance, and hydration levels. FNTPs also incorporate analysis of lifestyle habits including sleep, stress, movement, and environmental considerations to provide holistic recommendations that drive client success.

With this framework and focus, an FNTP can support you in achieving your health goals so you can live life to the fullest. Even the most complex systems and processes of the body are heavily influenced by the Foundations an FNTP is trained to support. Instead of chasing symptoms and trying the next trend, working with an FNTP can help determine what your unique body needs to thrive and cut through the noise of health claims in the industry.

A Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner is not a licensed nutritionist or dietician. FNTPs cannot diagnose or treat disease, nor can they give medical advice.

A CNHP applies natural health foundations to support a healthy body, mind, and spirit. A CNHP understands the human organ systems and what it takes to promote optimal health, from the inside out, as well as the lifestyle choices and recommendations necessary to care for yourself, your family, and your community.

I was introduced to the world of natural health and healing by Tom Jenkins, owner of Health Plus 1994-2018. In 2000, he offered me a job that determined my life's course to learn and teach natural solutions because to me it JUST MAKES SENSE. I continue to love working for Health Plus because I learn from the people I talk to everyday and I'm inspired by their stories. Your local health food store is more than just a place to buy your quality vitamins, it's a community of like-minded people who become friends.
