Paper details
One of the most powerful roles we have as Nutritional Therapy Practitioners is helping others reconnect
with their bodies and learn to trust their innate wisdom as they rebuild their health. Often, that reconnection
starts with bringing awareness to the existence of the disconnection and an understanding of how we have
reached this dysfunctional space. As the six major milestones of the modern diet you just learned about
have all contributed significantly to this shift, it is a great place to start educating your clients as they put
together the pieces of the journey that has led them to you for support.
