These are the main considerations we hear from our clients as to why they have chosen to come see us.

Weight Goals and Maintenance

Trying to lose or gain weight on your own is a guessing game that often doesn’t produce the results you really want. While it may seem appealing to try every fad diet until one works, putting yourself through the ringer like that can often cause more problems than results.

Many see that even if they do manage to successfully attain their ideal weight goal, maintaining that level can be even more difficult than reaching it was in the first place. Even worse – many diet crazes and pills can be extremely dangerous, causing people to drop weight at levels so fast that they put themselves at risk for heart attack.

Allergies and Digestion Issues

Food sensitivities vary from person to person and you may not always realize something is bothering you unless you get a food allergy sensitivity panel done.

Most assume that all food allergies are automatic and show up right after eating something. The truth is most effect people relatively mildly or over long periods of time that they don’t even really notice. Those migraines or digestive issues that have been affecting you for years may just be the result of a food allergy or sensitivity that you aren’t aware of or haven’t even considered.

You have a medical condition that requires a special diet.

Food is fuel and food can act as your medicine if used correctly. Or it can hurt you.
Everything that you put into your body effects your heart, veins, arteries, and blood sugar levels and an unhealthy diet can easily result in an unhealthy body. If you’ve already been diagnosed with such a condition, then very likely your physician has suggested that you make diet and lifestyle changes.

Carrying out these changes can be an adjustment, especially if you are suddenly forced to live without many of your favorite foods.

A nutritionist can help you manage your condition by recommending the appropriate foods to strengthen your heart and veins while lowering your risk for stroke or heart attack, often recommending healthier alternatives to the foods that you already like.
