PROGRAMS
We offer programs for folks with eating concerns and for those who want a functional medicine approach to their health care concerns.
What’s a program, anyway?
A program is more than just a select few nutrition counseling visits. It’s a bit more structured and targets a key health concern. Besides one-on-one nutrition counseling sessions, a program may involve a group class or online private Facebook page and it has a time frame to keep you focused and motivated.
How does a program help me?
Each of our programs offers one 1.5 hours session consisting of a comprehensive medical nutritional assessment, including:
- A timeline of your medical and nutritional history
- A complete nutritional physical exam
- Review of your intake questionnaire and intake forms
- Interpretation of all previously obtained lab reports and test results
- Recommendations for any new labs and tests
- Collaboration with your PCP and/or other health care specialists re: your health care needs
- Practitioner referral recommendations as needed
- An outline of your health and nutrition related goals
50-minute follow-up sessions include:
- Individualized and comprehensive nutrition care plan
- Specific action-oriented activities and exercises that align with your goals
- Guidance for enhanced eating and lifestyle strategies
- Personalized menu plan, recipes, shopping lists with easy access between sessions
- 2 email exchanges and one 10-minute phone contact each month between sessions
