What is an ROHP and Why is this Designation Important?
Registered Orthomolecular Health Practitioners (ROHPs) are scientific evidenced-based trained nutritional professionals who can educate you about diet, lifestyle and detoxification for optimum health and energy.
Registered Orthomolecular Health Practitioner is the designation given by the International Association of Nutritional Consultants to a qualified healthcare professional that specializes in maintaining or restoring biochemistry and physiology in the body for optimum health and wellbeing.
Orthomolecular Health Practitioners assess the unique dietary and nutritional requirements of an individual and utilize a full spectrum of customized natural therapies including: diet and nutritional supplements, detoxification and drainage.
IONC has within its membership base: registered nurses, naturopathic doctors, chiropractors, dentists, homeopaths, acupuncturists, herbalists, iridologists and massage therapists.
A visit to an ROHP will be an educational experience where one will learn to make lifestyle changes that have a long-lasting effect on the quality of life. Some insurance companies are now covering the fees for ROHP services for IONC members.
Educational Requirements
Educational criteria for ROHP certification include significant post-secondary training in the following subjects: anatomy and physiology, chemistry, biochemistry, allergies, biology, fundamental of nutrition, preventative nutrition, environmental pollution, nutritional pathology, alternative comparative diets, digestion-elimination, nutritional symptomatology, psycho-nutrition, life cycle (geriatrics, pediatrics, clinical nutrition, & sports nutrition), research applications, and jurisprudence.
ROHPs are certified by the International Association of Nutritional Consultants of Canada.

It was founded in 1983 to help inform the public about nutritional consulting and to provide standards of practice for nutritional consultants.
