1:1 Basic

Nutrition Consult

Do you have some basic or deep questions about nutrition, diabetes, weight loss, meals, digestion, or menopause? However, you don’t need a monthly package – then this option is for YOU.

In this 60-minute consult, you will have my undivided attention to answer any questions you may have regarding your diagnosis and how to make the appropriate dietary changes to optimize your health.

This consult option is a completely client-driven call and I can only provide you recommendations based on the information you give me. It is helpful if you can identify your top goals, objectives, medical history, and any questions you want to be addressed during the call. Depending upon the client’s dietary needs and diagnosis additional follow-up consults may be recommended.

In our experience, the majority of commercial health insurance provides excellent coverage for nutrition.

Provide you tools for prevention, take the guesswork and Google searches out of your head. I will be available throughout the entire process to support, guide, and cheer you through.
