What is the Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (NAQ)?

The Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire (NAQ) is a comprehensive tool that evaluates over 300 signs and symptoms in your body.

The patterns that emerge from your responses provide valuable insights into your overall health. This information guides me in creating a personalized nutrition plan that addresses your unique needs and health goals.
