Why Applied Clinical Nutrition?
Applied Clinical Nutrition (ACN) is centered on the use of whole-food nutrition and evidence-based complementary therapies, as a primary means of transforming lives.

ACN incorporates macro- and micronutrients, genomics personalized nutrition, gut microbiome, herbs, therapeutic nutrition, drug-induced nutrient depletion, sports nutrition, behavioral nutrition and much more into clinical practice.
Full case histories, including dietary patterns, physiology, and lifestyle habits, are evaluated to provide the practitioner with insight into an individual’s current overall health. The nutritional needs of an individual are assessed, nutritional priorities are established, and personalized evidence-based therapeutic interventions are applied. These individualized programs are designed to incorporate diet, physical activity, stress management, and professional-grade nutritional supplementation. Applied Clinical Nutrition often utilizes functional foods and detoxification programs as a means of supporting nutritional imbalances and toxic burden.
