Once you’ve decided the time is right to make permanent changes to your nutrition, call the office and schedule a one-on-one appointment . We will sit down and go over all your needs with a health history form. This form asks you about your nutrition and health goals, your medical history, and you’re eating and exercise habits.
Your first consultation with me will last 1- 1 1/2 hours long, we’ll talk about your goals, lifestyle, habits, medications, health history and present nutrition. I’ll also walk you through a detailed diet history to learn your eating/meal schedule, your portion sizes and, of course, your food preferences. Then I will help you with a program that is best for you:
- A Customized Nutrition Plan that outlines meal times, portion sizes, appropriate food combinations and actual meal suggestions for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. Your meal plan will be based on where you actually eat – restaurants, take-out and at home.
- A Nutrition Action Plan that outlines the dietary changes necessary to help you achieve your goals. In essence, this is a list of specific strategies and recommendations that will help you improve your nutrition, your nutritional intake and your activity level. We will include in the program foods based on your food allergies or sensitivities.
- A Specific Supplementation Plan (only if required) that will further optimize your energy, immune and digestive systems, and overall metabolism.
- A Customized Lifestyle Recommendation Plan that will address any specific concerns not addressed by nutrition and exercise alone. These powerful tools can help combat adverse lifestyle habits, excess travel, and stress – just to name a few.
Your second meeting and future meetings are a 1/2 or 1 hour in length. This visit is usually scheduled one week after our first appointment. During this meeting I will review your nutrition and meal plan with you and how you did on your first week. You will then follow-up with me on a regular weekly or bi-weekly basis. These visits are critical to your short and long term success. Follow-up visits provide support, accountability and allow for ongoing nutrition education..
