The International Organization of Nutritional Consultants (IONC) was created to ensure the public that Registered Nutritional Consulting Practitioners (RNCP) and Registered Orthomolecular Health Practitioners (ROHP) have met strict educational, moral and ethical standards.  IONC is committed to promoting and creating awareness of the nutritional consulting profession while providing RNCPs and NCPs with direction on their daily ethical practice.   This code of ethics applies to all Registered Nutritional Consulting Practitioners and Nutritional Consulting Practitioners, whatever their position and area of responsibility.

RNCP/ROHPs are committed to educating the public about holistic nutrition, providing accurate information about nutrition, diet and life style.

RNCP/ROHPs educate clients regarding specific diet options and nutritional support to help them build and maintain nutritional well being.

RNCP/ROHPs recommend that the public consult a licensed physician for treatment or diagnosis of disease.  The RNCP designation does not carry the right to treat or diagnose disease or to use tissue penetration, radiation, or collection of specimens from the body or medical instrumentation.  

RNCP/ROHPs assess nutritional imbalances through bodily symptoms to support their clients' unique nutritional requirements.

RNCP/ROHPs are diligent with their collection, use and disclosure of clients' private information in accordance to the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA) as they respect and value the importance of confidentiality and privacy issues.

RNCP/ROHPs upgrade their education yearly to remain current and expand competency, adhering to guidelines within IONC's renewal policy.

RNCP/ROHPs value their ability to provide safe, competent care that allows them to fulfill their ethical and professional obligations to the public they serve.

RNCP/NCPs encourage their clients to take responsibility for their own well being through nutritional education and lifestyle management.  

RNCP/ROHPs interact with colleagues, other health professionals and clients in a polite and constructive manner reflecting integrity and accountability.
