Individual Nutritional Counseling

Individual Nutritional Counseling

Registered dietitians certified in weight management training provide individual and family weight loss counseling. We use current, evidence-based guidelines to appraise and treat weight management issues.

Individual nutritional counseling begins with an individualized assessment of your needs. From the assessment, we assist you with appropriate nutrition therapy options that may include meal planning, physical activity, meal replacement, behavior modification, and surgery. A dietitian provides the tools to facilitate lifestyle changes for successful weight management.

Individual Nutritional Counseling may be a good option if:

  • You do not feel comfortable sharing in a group
  • You are at minimal or low risk of health problems associated with your weight, or your BMI (Body Mass Index) is less than 30.  Calculate your BMI
  • The idea of having a "coach" assist you with weight loss is appealing
