INDIVIDUAL NUTRITION COUNSELING
Dietitian provides individualized medical nutrition therapy in a variety of areas, including food allergies and intolerances, IBS, autoimmune conditions, digestive discomforts, GERD, sports nutrition, diabetes, weight loss/gain, vegan/vegetarianism, or just overall healthy living. The focus is on behavioral and lifestyle changes to positively affect long term food habits and health.
- Pre-visit health/diet history
- One full initial assessment: gathering extensive history, discussing goals and obstacles, nutrition education
- Follow-ups every two weeks: providing and adapting a personalized plan for diet, activity, and/or lifestyle changes to achieve your desired short-term and long-term health goals and form lasting habits for life
Good for: Those who are looking to heal their relationship with food and their body, those who are looking to make peace with food rather than restricting, obsessing, or suffering from consequences of food choices.
