Frequently Asked Questions

For your first visit, bring: a 3-7 day food diary (if possible), list of medications and supplements, any recent lab results, your health goals, and questions you have. Also bring information about your eating habits, food preferences, allergies, and lifestyle. This helps the nutritionist create a personalized plan that works for you.

This varies based on your goals and needs. Typically, we recommend: Initial assessment (1 session), Follow-up sessions every 2-4 weeks initially, then monthly as habits establish, and maintenance sessions every 3-6 months. For weight loss, 12-16 sessions over 6 months is common. For medical conditions, ongoing sessions may be needed.

We provide both! You'll receive personalized meal plans tailored to your preferences, lifestyle, and health needs, plus general nutrition education to help you make better food choices independently. We focus on sustainable changes rather than restrictive diets, teaching you how to build healthy eating habits for life.
