Hi there!
My name is Maha Majzoub Labaki.
I am an Istanbul-based certified nutritional therapy practitioner and the creator of Restorative Nutritional Therapy. I’m glad you’re here.
As the case is with many unorthodox practitioners, my early fascination with the field sprung out of my need to resolve my personal health struggles after not receiving the most fulfilling answers from allopathic medicine. For that reason, my point of departure as an NTP is probing the very root of the problem, as opposed to band-aiding the symptoms.
My research and work as a nutritional therapist focuses on nutrition for human development and balancing the body’s biochemical pathways and systems, both safely and naturally. My scope of practice concentrates on alleviating pain and chronic illness through functional nutrition and naturopathy.
I have worked with clients across a broad spectrum of health conditions, endorsing a holistic, results-oriented and evidence-informed approach. As a nutritional therapist, I advocate a collaborative, client-centered healing model that is based on biochemical individuality.
Testimonials
“I'm a retired 70-year-old mother of three and I’m blessed with three grandchildren.
I don't really remember when my health problems first began, but I do know that my battles started a long time ago. My issues included gut pain and indigestion, diarrhea, major food sensitivities, constant fatigue as well as complications of the liver and pancreas. I used to feel as though my whole body was in flames and going about my everyday life was so challenging!
I had consulted with so many doctors; done so many tests; taken all sorts of medications, but to no avail.
Four years ago, I had the chance to meet Maha and we started working on my case. I must admit things were not easy at the beginning. I literally had to change my whole life around, including my approach to food and cooking as well as unlearning things I had long accepted about health and wellness.
The highly professional process incorporated comprehensive testing, a customized nutritional plan, targeted supplementation and lifestyle changes backed by follow-up meetings and support. Together as a team, we addressed all of my life-long health problems along with new issues that showed up in the tests that Maha ordered.
Now, after four years of dedicated work, I am so vivacious and present in my everyday life, more so at 70 years of age than I had been at 40! My body feels “liberated”, my inflammation markers are down, my fatigue is gone and my gut problems have dramatically diminished.
Ultimately, I am so thrilled with the results! I am grateful for Maha’s patience, support and devotion. I look forward to further healing and health maintenance with her!”

“Maha is an exceptional nutritional therapist who has helped me improve my health and wellbeing in so many ways. When I first reached out to Maha, I was feeling pretty lost and overwhelmed with all the conflicting information out there about nutrition. I was also falling ill every few months without understanding the cause.
Maha made the whole process so easy and approachable – she really took the time to understand my unique health concerns and lifestyle, and worked with me to develop a nutrition and lifestyle plan that would improve my health while taking into consideration my individual needs.
What I loved most about working with Maha was her emphasis on whole, nutrient-dense foods. Even though supplements are important, she didn't just tell me to take them or follow a strict diet – instead, she taught me how to nourish my body with real, healthy food, and help me understand how my body reacts to different foods.
And I have to say, the results have been amazing – I have more energy, better digestion, and just an overall sense of wellbeing that I never thought was possible.
Throughout the process, Maha was so supportive and encouraging. She always took the time to answer my questions and address my concerns, and gave me the tools and resources I needed to make lasting changes to my health.
If you're looking for a nutritional therapist who really knows their stuff and genuinely cares about your health and wellbeing, I cannot recommend Maha enough.

“In 2018, I met a great guy at the gym named Karl. When I saw Karl again a few months after our initial encounter, I noticed he was a different person – he was simply glowing. His face was radiant, his skin was clearer and his hair was healthier. His newfound energy was obvious and he mentioned his digestive discomfort and bloating have plummeted. I asked him: “Karl, what on earth did you do? You are beaming!”. His response was: “I met this amazing holistic therapist; she doesn’t adopt the conventional approach to nutrition and healing. She just transformed my life and changed me inside out…”
At the time, my life was in shambles. I had a newborn with severe diaphragmatic hernia, which required surgery, breathing support and continuous medical attention. I was battling a debilitating autoimmune disease in addition to indigestion and gut sensitivity, major hair loss, varicose veins and fatigue.
Meeting Maha was a turning point in my health journey. With her insights, efforts and support I regained my vitality and I was on the path to full recovery and autoimmune remission. Her focus on functional nutrition and naturopathy set her apart from any other health professional I’ve worked with, while her sincerity made her stand out completely.
On the back of the improvements to my health and my trust in her methods, Maha would soon help change the lives of my entire family: my husband’s, that of my three kids’ as well as my parents’. And every friend of ours whom we recommended Maha to experienced similar life-altering impact on their wellbeing.
She instilled in us new foundations for long-term health, both physiological and mental. Thank you Maha for always being there for all of us and thank you for being you!”
