A Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP) is a trained professional who works with clients to identify the root cause of their health issues and to develop personalized nutrition and lifestyle strategies to support their overall health and wellbeing.

FNTPs typically work from a functional medicine perspective, which means they view the body as a whole, integrated system and seek to address the underlying imbalances that may be contributing to a client's health issues. This often involves a thorough intake process that includes a detailed health history, symptoms, and lifestyle habits.

Based on this information, an FNTP may make dietary recommendations, suggest supplements or herbs, and provide lifestyle guidance to help clients achieve their health goals. The goal of functional nutritional therapy is to support the body's innate healing capacity and optimize overall health and wellness.
