Holistic Nutrition

Health is a continuing property that is measured by how well an individual is able to fight off and overcome external or internal insults, whether physical, chemical, infectious, psychological, or social. Health is therefore maintained by keeping a balance between man and environment. Health values vitality before longevity. The human body works as a complete, whole unit, and a holistic health and nutrition approach must by applied when striving to maintain true health.

Each Holistic Nutrition client first goes through a Complete Nutritional Evaluation & Plan. This detailed packet always us to take a more complete view of oneʼs health, by looking at all the key aspects of total body health. Once finished, we meet together for in depth look at how you can start today, towards the achieving your goals and healing your body from the inside out!

In each nutrition plan offered, clients follow the 12-Point Holistic Health Plan & Integration Process (HHP&IP). This is where we begin moving away a mere understanding of the appearance of health, to applying that knowledge towards acquiring health. A key focal point for the Marchant Training Method is teaching others how to heal themselves. The 12-Point HHP&IP covers the following topics over a 12 month period: Food Selection, Corrective Breathing, Proper Hydration, Restorative Sleep Patterns, The Power of Thought, The Movement of Working-In, and then covering improving the function of the 6 major endocrine glands & organs - adrenal gland, ovaries/gonads, pancreas, thymus gland, thyroid gland, and pituitary gland.

Holistic approach to nutrition seeks to create health within the body, rather than focusing on the condition or disease that is affecting the body. Health and disease cannot exist in the same spot.
