What makes nutrition care with a CNS different? The answer is in the multifaceted approach. Certified Nutrition Specialists use the Personalized Nutrition Care Model, a comprehensive framework that addresses much more than food.

Instead of guessing or using generic protocols, CNSs:
→ Assess your complete health picture (metabolic function, gut health, hormones, genetics, stress, and more)
→ Create actionable plans tailored to YOUR body and goals
→ Monitor and adapt nutrition strategies to reflect changing needs

Find a CNS at theANA.org, or read our article https://naturemed.org/the-certified-nutrition-specialist-a-whole-health-expert-in-personalized-nutrition/ to learn more!
