SAN RAMON, Calif., March 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Nutrition is one of the Centers for Disease Control's top public health concerns. And while the internet is chock full of how-to's on healthy eating, personalized nutritional advice may be useful for many Americans. And while there are a range of nutrition experts available for consultation, some individuals may want to turn to alternative medicine practices for information on nutrition, as well. Financial Education Benefits Center (FEBC), a membership benefits company, is offering an alternative medicine benefit to eligible members that discounts many practices and therapies, including nutritional counseling.
"Nutritional counseling in the alternative medicine world is getting more and more popular as people's concerns about food change," said Jennifer Martinez, Manager at FEBC. "Especially with the organic and sustainable food movements becoming so widespread, alternative approaches to nutrition are popping up."
FEBC members who can access this benefit may search a database of providers to find participating nutritional counselors in their area. After presenting proof of membership at an appointment, members can receive a discount on services.
Some folks may not know what a nutritional counselor even is. The term is a generic title for a large range of nutrition professionals with various levels of training and licensure. It's important for anyone visiting a nutritional counselor to make sure that they are clear about and comfortable with the type of expertise the counselor can offer.
People may choose nutritional counseling because it may be helpful where simple research is too general. Everyone has unique health circumstances, abilities, and lifestyles that may determine what nutrition is optimal for their health. A nutritional counselor might address these circumstances to better craft advice on healthy eating habits and dietary plans. While nutritional counselors may offer specific expertise, FEBC members and any individuals with medical conditions should consult their medical doctors before embarking on any new diets.
"More and more people are taking a holistic approach to their health, including with their nutrition," said Martinez. "We hope FEBC members who can use this benefit do so in pursuit of a healthier lifestyle, which is what we aim to promote."
