NUTRITION

Louise Rossi is a Certified Clinical Nutritionist.
A CCN is a highly qualified nutritional professional with a 4-year bachelor's degree and a 900-hour internship, a 56-hour post-graduate intensive study in clinical nutrition or a master's degree in human nutrition from the University of Bridgeport or Bastyr University and must pass the national board exam issued by the CNCB. The CCN focuses on how foods are digested, absorbed, and assimilated, and ultimately how food affect the body biochemically. Among the many aspects of nutrition research considered within this context are by-products of digestion, gastrointestinal health, neurotransmitter response, immune function, metabolic shifts and balance, allergic or sensitivity reactions, and systems and pathways of detoxification. The CCN's approach to diet structure is developed according to what is best for the individual.  Rather than strictly advocating a pyramid or food-group-style diet, the CCN will determine the healthiest and most effective program for each individual, according to the latest nutrition research and the unique biochemical make-up of the individual.
