Nutritional Counseling

Overview

The practice of integrative nutrition takes a holistic approach to wellness recognizing that the foundation for optimal health and healing begins with a health promoting diet. In working with our Registered Dietitian, you will learn which obstacles stand in your way of optimal health and you will develop a plan to remove these obstacles and add ingredients like whole, fresh food, nutrients, sleep, and exercise to create a healthier life.

During your first session, we’ll do a full assessment of your health and medical history, current eating habits and preferences, overall lifestyle and personal goals to identify your individual needs. We will provide you with nutrition education, and equip you with the knowledge and tools you need to succeed and reach your goals. Follow-up visits are focused on accountability, assessment of goal-meeting progress, further nutrition education, addressing any challenges or problem areas, answering any food and nutrition questions that may have arisen, and helping you to stay motivated and inspired!
