Philosophy
Nurturing the Gut for Optimal Health
At Ola Holista, we believe the body has an innate ability to heal itself. Our approach is science-based; combining scientific knowledge, personal experience, and functional nutrition.
Our philosophy is built on the understanding that many diseases start in the gut and restoring gut health plays a central role in our overall well-being.
We take a holistic approach and recognize that each person’s journey is unique. To support this, we utilize functional testing and the Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (NAQ)—a tool that evaluates nutritional status—to identify imbalances and create tailored plans for each client.

FAQ
What is Nutritional Therapy?
Nutritional Therapy is a holistic approach to health that focuses on using nutrient-dense foods, lifestyle adjustments, and targeted support to address the root causes of imbalances in the body.
How is it different?
Unlike conventional approaches that often focus on symptom management, Nutritional Therapy seeks to identify and address the root causes of health challenges. It’s highly personalized, taking into account your unique history, symptoms, and goals.
Why Gut Health?
The gut is the foundation of our overall health. When it’s out of balance, it can lead to a cascade of issues—digestive discomfort, fatigue, skin problems, hormonal imbalances, and more. By prioritizing gut health, we can alleviate these symptoms and pave the way for lasting wellness. At Ola Holista, we use a combination of functional assessments, such as GI-MAP testing and food sensitivity panels, and the Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (NAQ), a tool to evaluate nutritional status and identify imbalances. These insights allow us to create personalized nutrition plans and lifestyle strategies that address the root causes of gut issues, rather than just masking symptoms.
What functional tests do you use?
We use tests like the GI-MAP (Gut Microbial Analysis Profile) to assess gut health and the MRT (Mediator Release Test) to identify food sensitivities. These tools provide a deeper understanding of your health and help us create a targeted plan for healing.
How long does it take to see results?
Every individual is different, and healing timelines vary depending on the complexity of your health challenges. Some clients notice improvements in a few weeks, while others may take longer to see significant changes. Our goal is to guide you through sustainable steps for lasting results.
Is Nutritional Therapy a replacement for medical care?
No. Nutritional Therapy complements medical care by addressing lifestyle and dietary factors that influence health. We encourage collaboration with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive approach to your well-being.
