Can holistic nutrition practitioners always put you on an individual diet based on your own needs?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Holistic practitione: Holistic practitioners practice are individually trained and have various practices, however many holistic practitioners do prefer using more individualized diets than generalized diets. A more individualized diet (sometimes based on nutritional testing) ensures that you are getting the healing nutrients you actually need.

Depends: depends on the practioner. I cant answer for each person. However, there is now DNA gene information that can help guide a person to a meal plan that is based on their own DNA and genes. The idea is food as medicine. Seek out someone who is willing to treat you based on your own genetic profile.
