We Offer Personalized Nutrition Counseling
Our diet plays a crucial role in determining our health and physical and mental well-being. We are exposed to endless messages about food, health and diet every day making it confusing to sort out what actually works for each of us. Because each client has unique needs, our first appointment includes a detailed review of your personal medical history, five-day diet record, as well as your specific wellness goals.
Upon evaluation of your situation, a personalized plan will be created just for you. Your plan, which will be carefully developed by a Registered Dietitian, may include recommendations for changes to your diet, addition of vital nutrients through supplementation or further lab testing (available). If you choose, a detailed meal plan will be created for you based on your personal preferences. Follow up appointments are tailored to help you meet your goals.
You will be guided along your journey, step-by-step with support and education from a licensed nutrition professional. The following services are available: (if you do not see what you are looking for, please contact us. We may be able to accommodate your specific request).
