What to Expect

Empowering Nutrition Counseling

When we work together we become partners. You bring the expertise of living in your body, and I bring expertise in integrative nutrition. Together we will to a deep dive to understand the root of your symptoms, and map out a plan to begin reaching your goals.

I meet you where you are by recognizing your unique challenges and strengths. You'll receive down-to-earth, specific-to-you education, strategies, and resources that align with your individual goals and lifestyle. Through compassionate support and guidance, you will build the confidence to implement changes on your own. My goal is to foster a sense of ownership over your own health journey and ensure sustainable, long-term success.

I will send you some intake forms before we meet. It's very helpful if you can fill these out ahead of time both to help inform me before our meeting, and to help you organize yourself regarding your concerns and goals.

Be prepared to share the following:

Medical concerns and/or diagnoses
Your goals and desired outcomes
Food allergies, intolerances, and sensitivities
Family medical history
Current medications and supplements
Your activity level
Sleep habits
Stress levels and management strategies
Known triggers that impact your eating habits

Be prepared for the following possible actions that will help you start to move toward your goals. This list isn't necessary for everyone.

Making stepwise changes to your diet
Labwork
Keeping a food diary for a few days here and there
Temporary elimination and reintroduction of foods, with an end goal of as much variety as possible in your diet
Using a Continuous Glucose Monitor (as appropriate)
Taking supplements as indicated by labs or nutrition-focused physical exam
Making changes to sleep routine
Increasing or decreasing physical activity
Working on your mindset around food and body
