You have completed, or nearly completed, your nutrition education. So now what? As you decide on your path the questions arise. Do you want a job? Do you want to work for yourself? The type of education you have will help you make this decision.
The type of education you received will steer you toward one of two paths. If you have become a certified “Nutritional Consultant,” your training is more holistic oriented. If you have received a degree you have perhaps become a registered “Nutritionist” or “Dietitian.”
The Dietitian or Nutritionist is more likely to get a job doing research or working with larger corporations in research studies, organization of research or perhaps help in the development of new dietary supplements. Another possibility is working with hospitals and clinics providing clinical and/or medical nutrition consultations. Any of these can be fulfilling and financially rewarding.
On the other side is the Nutritional Counselor. They are generally trained in food therapies as well as herbal or food supplement therapies. Many are knowledgeable in other alternative or holistic modalities such as lymphatic drainage or massage therapy. These are rewarding careers also, as many go on to work in health centers, gyms or even their own business.
In today’s economy, it is important to set up your own future. You have many possibilities to expand your nutrition education and take charge of your income. For example, as your experience accumulates, it is possible go on to educate others by writing books, becoming a teacher, or helping more clients on an individual basis. These “extras” that come with experience are valuable tools that you can use to set up a future or a secondary income.
Guarantee your future income by receiving education in both types of nutrition education, both clinical and holistic. They are both important aspects of health and all clients can benefit from both kinds of therapies. In addition, an open mind is necessary in research and development so this area also receives benefit.
A clinical knowledge is important since food choices can lessen symptoms and even heal ailments of some patients. Food sciences are important for athletes and others who put higher demands on their bodies.
Holistic nutrition is also important. More people are demanding alternatives to traditional medicine. It is becoming more accepted that a “cleansing diet” may benefit many by taking burden off the digestive system, which is important since digestion requires a large part of the body’s energy. This may take energy away from the healing process. Also, some holistic practices such as elimination diets and food combining are helpful for relieving certain common gastrointestinal complaints.
Receiving an education in both, clinical and holistic, you find more possibilities for your future. Clients and patients everywhere are looking for professionals who will help them find an alternative to medications they are tired of taking or cannot afford.
Look for those extra classes, go on-line and see how many people are affected by food choices. The information is vast and as Hippocrates said, “Let food be your medicine and medicine be your food.” Your future is out there - be sure it’s a good one.
