A Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner™ Scope of Practice

I am not a doctor or registered dietitian.

• Client Interview
• Analysis of Client’s Food Journal
• Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire
• Functional Evaluation
• Lingual-Neuro Testing

A Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner™ is not trained to provide medical diagnosis or treatment of any medical or pathological condition, illness, injury or disease. No recommendation or comment made by a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner™ should be construed as being medical advice or diagnosis.

Affiliate Links

The FTC requires that I disclose when affiliate links are present. An affiliate link disclosure is in the footer of all pages containing links on Primally Balanced's site. For disclosure purposes, assume that any link you click on is an affiliate link. This means that I will earn a small commission if you decide to purchase the product that is linked. There is absolutely NO cost passed on to you when you click on, or purchase through an affiliate link.

When I recommend a particular brand that I use, I will provide an affiliate link, in most occasions it will be linked to Amazon.com or Emilyschromm.com. I typically make a few cents off of the sale. While the commission is small, it adds up and allows me to do things like pay for the hosting fees for the Primally Balanced site.
