What is a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner?

Certified by the Nutritional Therapy Association, Inc.® as a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner™ (FNTP), I am a paraprofessional trained to evaluate your nutritional needs, support normal function, and identify nutritional deficiencies.

Sue Penfold, FNTP

We are all unique — so are you!

It is all about you as an individual. I want to get to know you — your diet, lifestyle, habits, health history, moods, stress and movement levels. Because all aspects of your life influence health and vitality.

Your first consultation is about identifying your health priorities and goals through a comprehensive interview and evaluation of your food journal (3 days minimum). It also includes an easy and unique genetic assessment, performed in clinic, identifying your health type and individual profile outputs. You will leave with a 12-month online subscription to your personalised bio-individual lifestyle profile — ph360.

Real Food protocol

Your Personal Protocol

Together, with all the information gathered including a Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (NAQ), we agree on your personal protocol in a second consultation. This protocol will have a Real Food focus with suggested lifestyle adjustments reflective of your bio-individuality to increase your vitality and support your health priorities. Living a life according to your genes feels like coming home — discovering your natural place in our crazy world.

Functional Clinical Assessment

Taking the personalised approach one step further with a Functional Clinical Assessment unique to Nutritional Therapy. This involves a hands-on assessment of the body through pressure points, simple tests and 'Touch for Health' techniques to identify exactly which foods and/or supplement recommendations are needed to support and nourish the body to assist recovery.

Continuing Sessions

Working with an FNTP is an ongoing process depending on where you are with your health journey. You will receive support between sessions through online dietary journal support, coaching and regular communication. I am with you all the way. Consultations start every 2 weeks in the beginning and can range up to every 8 weeks, depending on the depth of support you need. For those needing more regular support to stay motivated, I offer quick 15-minute catch-up consults weekly.

What's your mind telling you?

The icing on the cake in your health journey is PSYCH-K®. Do you have an inner voice sabotaging your efforts to stay focused on your goals? Let me introduce you to a simple and effective way of reprogramming the software of your mind and changing the printout of your life. It is beyond willpower, affirmations and positive thinking.
