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.
