Nutrient and Vitamin Requirements
Identifying your specific dietary needs to ensure balanced nutrition.
Lifestyle Adjustments
Recommending changes that support overall well-being.
Working with your Beliefs: Identifying your beliefs (religious, cultural, environmental or otherwise) and helping you to remain on your preferred food diet (such as Vegan, Vegetarian, Paleo, Gluten-Free, Mediterranean or otherwise) or begin a new way of eating while still ensuring you get the nourishment and nutrition you require.
Initial Consultation: Setting the Foundation
