"Orthomolecular" is a term that comes from the Greek word "ortho", which means "correct" and "molecule," which is the simplest structure that displays the characteristics of a compound. It literally means the "correct molecule."
Orthomolecular Nutrition is an evidence-based modality that aims to support the body in healing and achieving vitality through the use of the bodies own correct molecules, whether this be with food or supplementation. A Registered Orthomolecular Health Practitioner (ROHP), has a working knowledge of evidence-based healing options, including: herbal and natural supplementation protocols, prophylactics, menu & nutritional advice, and lifestyle management coaching that contribute to healing, as well as healthful aging and longevity.
The goal is to encourage a highly-functional body and mind for the longest period of time through prevention, healing, and in some cases reversing disease and the effects of the aging process.
As an ROHP, I can help you to manage your health concerns efficiently and proactively, and in some cases prevent their onset. In addition to having a working knowledge of human anatomy, physiology, bio and organic chemistry, and nutrition, this discipline also offers an understanding of common blood testing and drug-nutrient interactions, in conjunction with conventional medical treatment and care, as a means to best coach clients on how to correctly and safely incorporate this state-of-the-art adjunctive therapy into their busy lives.
As your Orthomolecular Nutritionist, I will bring an evidence-based, individualized approach to restoring health and vitality with a focus on foundational nutrition, supplementation, and the gut microbiome. As the client, you will drive your healing journey and I am available as your guide.
