PHILOSOPHY: Being healthy

doesn't have to be complex

My philosophy is that healthy eating should be simple, but not restrictive. Food, eating, and food prep should be creative, fun, and time efficient. Developing the proper relationship with food is imperative. Food should be an enjoyable part of your life - not your master.
 

WHAT IS NUTRITION THERAPY?

Nutrition Therapy is a type of nutrition counseling that focuses on the client's beliefs, emotions and behaviors. It fosters a dynamic relationship between the dietitian and the client. It has several advantages over traditional nutrition education techniques commonly utilized in health settings:

  1. Builds a client-dietitian relationship

  2. Encourages development of an individualized treatment plan

  3. Provides more time with clients

  4. Fosters choice

  5. Promotes client independence

  6. Emphasizes team approach

  7. Provides long-term care if needed
