When you have special nutritional needs, there's no need to figure out meal plans by yourself. Our clinical nutritionists can translate your doctor's diet recommendation into an understandable plan. We work with you to develop a plan that:
- Sets healthy, realistic goals
- Is as easy as possible for you to follow
- Uses the food you enjoy
- Minimizes your chance of failure
People who may benefit from nutrition planning include those with issues such as:
- Cancer
- Gastroparesis
- Constipation
- High blood pressure
- Digestive problems (irritable bowel, gluten sensitivity, etc.)
- Liver or kidney disease
- Low blood sugar
- Diarrhea
- Osteoporosis
- Diverticulitis
- Poor nutritional intake
- Eating disorders
- Reflux disease
- Elevated triglycerides or cholesterol
- Weight gain
- Food allergies or intolerance
- Weight loss
Appointments can be made by calling us at 828-213-2222 option #2. If you are intending to have insurance cover nutrition planning services, we recommend that you get a doctor's referral.
