Medical Nutrition Consultation and Therapy Facts

Medical Nutrition Consultation and Therapy

• Nutritional Consultation and Therapy provides a comprehensive analysis of your current nutrition, and recommendations to strengthen areas of weakness.
  
  
• An initial 1 hour consultation is done to discuss your nutrition information and answer any specific questions you may have.
  • Age, weight, gender, lifestyle, state of health, dietary intake, digestive issues, dietary supplements and current medications, are all considered to determine your current nutritional status and any areas of nutritional weakness.
    
    
• Based on information from the Client Information Form and consultation, information is provided in a comprehensive assessment of your current nutrition with recommendations for improvement.
• The assessment includes information on your nutritional strengths and weaknesses, recommendations for meal planning, food combining, dietary supplements, and how to improve your present nutrition.
• Information on potential side effects of medications is also provided.
