What is a Holistic Nutritionist? "A R.H.N. Registered Holistic Nutritionist™, (or, R.H.N. Registered Holistic Nutritional Consultant™ in the Atlantic Provinces) (or, R.H.N. Holistic Nutritionist™ or R.H.N. Holistic Nutritional Consultant™ in Alberta) is a professional trained in Natural Nutrition and complementary therapies, whose principal function is to educate individuals and groups about the benefits and health impact of optimal nutrition. Mainstream medicine does not emphasize the significance of poor nutrition as a major cause of a wide range of health disorders. Although most people are aware of the benefits of sound nutrition, the range of conflicting information available to the consumer is often confusing. Holistic nutritionists guide their clients through the maze of information from books, magazines, supplements and diets on the market. They work with clients to identify and help correct the nutritional causes of diseases, and they are qualified to design personalized diet and lifestyle programs that optimize health. Many holistic nutritionists also contribute to the health and well-being of Canadians by writing articles for prominent health magazines such as Alive and Vitality". http://www.csnn.ca/about/what-is-a-holistic-nutritionist-holistic-nutrition/
