NUTRITION COUNSELING

Initial Nutrition Consultation – Includes a review of your medical history and lifestyle, exercise/sports detail (if indicated), and analysis of your current food intake to assess your nutrition needs.  A personalized plan-of-action that fits within your current lifestyle will be developed during this session.  Your plan will be balanced, varied, accurate in calories and nutrients, and appropriate for your age, gender, any medical condition, and sport if appropriate.

-    1.5 hour assessment, evaluation, and goal setting. 

-    Review of 3-day comprehensive computerized nutrition analysis.

-     Client will receive personalized CD with database of over 35,000 foods—including restaurant and brand names and ability to add own—to record daily food intake.  -

-    Since success is measured by much more than a number on the scale, body composition will be completed including measurements and bioelectrical impedance—BIA (body fat). 

-    For an additional fee, a 7-site skinfold caliper measurement (validity compared to hydrostatic/underwater weighing) can be completed in addition to the BIA.

_        Appointments may be scheduled in office or over the phone.  Phone consultations will not include body composition analysis.  Fee adjusted accordingly. 

Follow-Up Appointments – Provides you with the tools and resources you need to continue moving in the right direction to achieve your personal goals.  A minimum of four 45-minute follow-ups is recommended (primarily for weight loss clients).  Fifteen minute follow-up sessions are also available and are ideal for checking in and remaining accountable once goals have been achieved.
