NUTRITIONAL THERAPY PRACTITIONER™ SCOPE OF PRACTICE

Client Interview
Analysis of Client’s Food Journal

Functional Blood Labs

DISCLAIMER AND INFORMATION ON BLOOD LABS
Laboratory testing is performed to determine areas of imbalance and dysfunction and show opportunities for healing, not in diagnosis or treatment. Lab testing can help reveal nutritional deficiencies + weaknesses and assist in guiding the process of rebalancing the systems of the body. Laura is not a doctor and does not diagnose or treat disease. I always suggest each client share lab results with their PCP and refer to their doctor for any further questions. *Labs are available to clients only - they are not offered to the general public.
