I work with people who need a road map and someone to listen and show them the way.
Personalized Nutrition Counseling
Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT)
This is an individual appointment that starts with the question “What do you need help with?” I will ask questions to determine what is important to you, what your preferences are, as well as information about your health problems and will complete a nutrition assessment. You will leave with a personalized plan specific to your goals, and what you are willing and able to do. The focus is on you as an individual and we’ll work together to find achievable, sensible solutions. Follow up appointments are available and recommended so that we can evaluate progress, tweak the plan, and set additional goals.
MNT is covered by Medicare for people with diabetes and kidney failure with a referral from your treating physician. I am a Medicare Provider. It is sometimes covered by other insurance plans. I can help you with what questions to ask when you call about your plan. If your insurance company covers the service, I will provide a paperwork for you to submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.
Lifestyle Package
This package is for people who want to get the most out of a healthy lifestyle, (and take less medicine!). As always, you and your goals are at the center of the plan and I am by your side to help you get there. We will start with a 90 minute discovery session and follow up with 12 sessions (30-45 minutes long) every 2 weeks face-to-face or by phone. Topics are personalized and may include a personalized meal plan, mindful eating, eating out, quick and healthy meals, making your environment slim, exercise guidelines, and other topics of interest. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.
