Just a heads up, but anyone can call themselves a nutritionist. It is not a protected term. You don't have to pass any exams. The only thing you need is to be interested in the subject.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutritionist
The actual professional term is dietitian.
In the US it is even worse. Like Certified Clinical Nutritionists (CCN), which are quacks and prescribe things like homeopathy and herbalism. They are neither Certified nor Clinical.
Yeah I was using common nomenclature. I don't recall if they were licensed dietitians or not.
The one sold supplements and vitamin tinctures his wife made, so they weren't far off from the unlicensed category. But they were both also licensed/certified physical therapists and masseuses. He had done some kind of sports medicine if I recall correctly before starting his business.
The other guy was really into the whole gambit of chinese herbology and such, but he kept himself grounded with physical therapy regimens and promoting tai chi every other sentence.
Iono chief, still doesn't sound great to me. Being good at physical therapy by a different name? Great! Also misleading patients into wasting time, money, and energy on stuff that doesn't work? Find a new person. The willingness to believe bs will lead to some big error in judgement, sooner or later.
It's been over 20 years, but I do remember the acupuncture was beneficial. The physical therapy exercises helped with a shoulder injury, and it was accessible for a laborer without insurance.
I should also mention they were also religious and gave you a pocket bible every visit. It was a very different time and location in my life.
