We’re on a Mission
We are concerned about the personal and environmental impact of processed foods and poor nutrition in the US and around the world. The mass consumption of nutritionally depleted, high kcalorie foods is now a significant factor in the exorbitant cost of medical care. Food production from the farm to the table has been based on profit, consumer convenience and taste, rather than on providing wholesome foods that support health. In a large percentage of American households, over-consumption and malnutrition are contributing to obesity, diabetes and many other health conditions. A significant part of the answer to our national health crisis lies in good nutrition, the cornerstone of health and vitality.
In the past 15 years we have seen a virtual explosion of information in the field of nutrition. Clearly there is an increasing demand in the public sector for stable principles and sound values that underwrite a food production system that supports individual health and well being. Nutrition Therapy Institute provides answers through comprehensive education in the application of nutrition as therapy to reverse this trend in the erosion of our national health.
At NTI our educational programs are founded on these principles:
- Fulfillment of life’s potential through optimal health
- Personal responsibility for health and wellbeing
- Development of competent graduates in the practice of holistic nutrition therapy
- Achievement of high academic standards
- Creation of community among students, graduates and affiliates
- Respect and consideration of each student’s talents and needs
- Commitment to supporting local organic farming
NTI is dedicated to the promotion of long term, good health through nutrition education. We are making plans for the future and feel excited to welcome new students who are committed to the values that form the foundation of our school.
