Terms & Conditions

 Your NTP’s Name: Collin Sanderson

Before beginning Nutritional Therapy with your Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (“NTP”), please read the following information carefully and then sign and date.

NUTRITIONAL THERAPY GOALS

The fundamental goal of Nutritional Therapy is to encourage people to become knowledgeable about—and responsible for—their own health. An NTP helps individuals reach their optimal level of overall health by supporting and bringing balance to the five foundations listed below. All five are built upon a single, solid base: a properly prepared, nutrient-dense diet.

• Digestion

• Blood Sugar Regulation

• Fatty Acids

• Mineral Balance

• Hydration

By supporting each of these foundations and helping clients adopt a more nutrient-dense diet, the body's chemistry can be brought back into natural balance, setting the stage for optimal health. Nutritional Therapy is not designed, however, to treat any specific disease or medical condition. A Nutritional Therapy Practitioner is trained to evaluate your nutritional needs and make recommendations of dietary change and nutritional supplements, not medical diagnoses or prescriptions. No comment or recommendation from your NTP should be construed as a medical diagnosis or prescription. Reaching optimal health requires sincere commitment, possible lifestyle changes, and a positive attitude. If you are not willing to change how you eat and live, Nutritional Therapy is not the right approach for you. Since every human being is unique on a biochemical level, we cannot guarantee any specific result from our programs.

HEALTH CONCERNS

If you suffer from a medical or pathological condition, you need to consult with an appropriate healthcare provider. An NTP is not a substitute for your family physician or other appropriate healthcare provider. A Nutritional Therapy Practitioner is not trained nor licensed to diagnose or treat pathological conditions, illnesses, injuries, or diseases or prescribe medications. If you are under the care of another healthcare provider, it is important that you contact your other healthcare providers and alert them to your use of nutritional supplements. Nutritional ©2019 Nutritional Therapy Association, Inc.® 1 Therapy may be a beneficial adjunct to more traditional care, and it may also alter your need for medication, so it is important you always keep your physician informed of changes in your nutritional program. If you are using medications of any kind, you are required to alert your NTP to such use, as well as to discuss any potential interactions between medications and nutritional products with your pharmacist. If you have any physical or emotional reaction to Nutritional Therapy, discontinue their use immediately, and contact your NTP to ascertain if the reaction is adverse or an indication of the natural course of the body's adjustment to the therapy.

COMMUNICATION

Every client is a biochemical individual, and it is not possible to determine in advance how your body will react to the nutrients or supplements you need. It is sometimes necessary to adjust your program as we proceed until your body can begin to properly accept targeted nutrients geared to correct imbalances or deficiencies. It is your responsibility to do your part by: • Following the nutrition guidelines provided by your NTP. • Eating a properly prepared, nutrient-dense diet.

• Avoiding harmful foods, substances, and behaviors.

• Moving your body daily.

• Getting plenty of sleep, rest, and relaxation.

• Staying in contact with the NTP so they can stay abreast of your progress and provide the best course of action going forward.

If you need to contact your NTP for any reason, Collin will be available via email and phone (text or phone call) during business hours (9am - 5pm, Monday - Fridays).  Collin agrees to respond to your communication within 24 hours.  Please do not contact Collin via any other platform outside of email and phone.  

If your other healthcare providers have any questions regarding Nutritional Therapy, they are free to contact your NTP.
