THE NUTRITION STADNARD
THE STANDARD PLATE METHOD™
At CNC we start at the foundation, and that starts with your plate. The Standard Plate Method™ is the basic start to your individualized nutrition plan. This is not a diet plan, but rather knowledge of how we should have been eating since day 1 (without the marketing influences from Media). This is your life, and this method is meant to last a lifetime.
One bite does not fit all.
We believe at starting at the foundation of Nutrition and Whole Health. Food is not just fuel; it's Culture, Religion, Economic Status, Socialization, Time, Pleasure, Hospitality, Allergies, Medicine, Health, Energy, Focus, and so much more! Because of this, we take a Whole Health approach by individualizing your needs starting at the base, or, The Standard Plate Method™. During your consultations and follow-ups you will dive into exactly what your goals are and what to do to achieve them. We will assess your needs and create a customized program just for you.
