What is Nutritional Therapy?
Nutritional Therapy is a holistic approach that uses whole food nutrition and lifestyle modifications to support the body's natural ability to heal. Unlike conventional approaches that often focus on symptom management, Nutritional Therapy identifies and addresses the underlying causes of health challenges.
As a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner, I use science-based principles and time-tested wisdom to create personalized support strategies that honor your body's unique needs and promote lasting wellness.
Our Holistic Process
At Holistically Teresa, I go beyond traditional diet mentality and symptom management. My approach focuses on addressing the root causes of your health challenges.
​
If you're experiencing cravings, stress, anxiety, difficulty losing weight, poor sleep, or mood swings - these aren't just random symptoms. They're your body's way of telling you something deeper needs attention.
My process begins with:
1
A comprehensive intake form to understand your health history
2
The Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (NAQ) that identifies specific areas of imbalance
3
A food and mood journal to uncover patterns between what you eat and how you feel
These tools give us clear direction for your personalized plan. By supporting the key foundations of health-Nutrient Dense Diet, Digestion, Blood Sugar Regulation, Stress, and Sleep your body can return to balance, creating the conditions for vibrant, sustainable health.
This holistic approach helps break the cycle of temporary fixes and creates lasting transformation.

When properly supported, they work together to help your body function as nature intended, addressing not just symptoms but their underlying causes.
Your Assessment Results
The Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (NAQ) is a comprehensive 300+ question tool designed to identify which health foundations and body systems are calling out for support based on the symptoms you're experiencing. Your responses generate two key visual reports: the Foundation Symptom Burden Graph and the Body Systems Burden Graph.
These visual reports highlight patterns in your symptoms, giving us clues about which areas may need the most nutritional support. These example graphs show how we use your symptom patterns to create a targeted plan just for you.
