Initial Nutrition Assessment

Your initial nutrition assessment appointment is a chance for you and me to get to know each other and discuss your nutrition goals. I will ask you questions about your current diet, lifestyle, and medical history. Based on the information you provide, I will develop a personalized nutrition plan that will help you reach your goals. Your plan may include recommendations for changes to your diet, exercise routine, and lifestyle. I will also provide you with education and support to help you make lasting changes.
