What is Nutritional Therapy?

Nutritional Therapy Practitioners (NTP’s) are a part of the alternative, holistic health community. We are trained to identify nutritional deficiencies and work with clients to correct them.

We believe that a nutrient dense, real foods diet is the foundation of health. Our bodies are designed to absorb important nutrients from our diet in order to be healthy . If what we eat does not contain enough of these nutrients or if we lack the ability to sufficiently absorb these nutrients, our bodies will be deficient in vital, life giving nutrients  and eventually our health will suffer. This can take the form of decreased energy, fertility issues, digestive problems, autoimmune conditions, mental health issues, skin issues and even weight gain as the body tries to get enough nutrition by over-eating nutrient-poor foods.

As an NTP, I practice functional nutrition. I  look to address the underlying cause of the dysfunction and not just the symptoms. We advocate real, whole foods, traditional cooking and preparation techniques for meals, and offer supplements when needed. We are trained in anatomy and physiology, and use a hands-on physical evaluation called a Functional Evaluation, along with lingual-neuro testing. These combined techniques allow us to make a customized nutrition plan to address your specific needs.

As a NTP, my goal is to help restore your health, vitality, and energy so that you can lead a productive, healthy and balanced life.

Testimonials

  • Kim has been helping me keep my skin happy by evaluating my nutritional health- the root of my autoimmune troubles. With my tumultuous past with my body and BDD, talking about food in any capacity (especially in a setting where my choices can be deemed “wrong”), can be triggering and upsetting, to say the least. This woman is pure magic. She is an advocate for self-forgiveness, imperfection, and patience in health and the importance of self-love for healing. She’s the best.

  • “Kim Morell of The Nourished Body is a knowledgeable, supportive and results-oriented health practitioner.

    Before seeing Kim, I was suffering from daily digestive issues and joint pain. Even though I ate mostly healthy, worked out 5 days a week and slept 8 hours a night, I was still “stressed” in my gut and suffered from constant joint discomfort.  

    After 3 months of working together on my diet, re-evaluating where and when I was eating (at the kitchen sink while I packed school lunches/ at work at my desk checking email/or not eating dinner at all) and 2 sessions of LNT (lingual neural testing), Kim accomplished what my medical doctor could not…significantly reduced digestive discomfort and healthier joints.

    Today, 6 months later I am free from the stress of gut and intestinal issues, my joint pain has all but disappeared and I am a happy eater!!

    Kim listened, asked the hard questions, applied her knowledge to formulate an individualized plan to get me healthy. Thanks Kim!!!!”
