Personalized Nutrition Counseling Services
What To Expect:
At Doherty Nutrition, our one-on-one nutrition counseling sessions provide you with personalized direction when you want to make sustainable dietary and lifestyle changes. Each session is tailored specifically to you and dedicated to empowering you to reach your goals! We are an inclusive practice and welcome clients of all shapes and backgrounds to invest in health and nutrition.
Importance of Individual Nutrition Counseling
Personalized nutrition counseling is a foundation of good health. Unfortunately, social media, the news and other mainstream sources often spread misinformation about nutrition and health. Fad diets without scientific research have become go-to solutions, and well-intentioned individuals negatively impact their health due to misleading information.
One-on-one nutrition counseling helps you break the cycle of unhealthy eating patterns by learning that food is like medicine, helping you boost your energy levels, longevity and overall well-being.
Our Individual Nutritional Counseling Process
Our team works with you one-on-one to assess your health and nutritional needs. We aim to empower you to manage chronic conditions better, establish lasting healthy patterns and behaviors, and help you meet your other goals, such as improved overall wellness or fitness. Our personalized counseling sessions comprise an initial consultation and follow-up sessions with meal support sessions where beneficial or necessary.
Initial Appointment:
55-85 minutes
During the first appointment, you and your dietitian will explore your:
- Past medical history
- Eating habits
- Diet history
- Relationship with food
- Barriers to meeting your nutrition-related goals
The first part of the session is devoted to collecting information on your past and getting to know you, while the second part focuses on personalized education to help you feel empowered, and assist you in planning and setting goals. You will walk away from the session with confidence and a clear plan of action to reach your goals!
Follow Up Appointment:
55 minutes
Our follow-up sessions will support you in furthering your journey and establishing a healthy, sustainable lifestyle. Your dietitian will recommend a frequency depending on your:
- Medical history
- Lifestyle habits
- Personal goals
The decision is up to you on how often you want to schedule visits.
Meal Support Session:
30 minutes
Your dietitian may recommend meal support sessions in addition to follow-up sessions to aid in your eating disorder recovery. You must have regularly scheduled sessions to use this supplemental service. You and your dietitian will decide the frequency of these visits. Meal support sessions involve:
- Accountability in following meal plan
- Eating a snack or meal together
- Support in coping with eating disorder thoughts or behavior urges in the moment
- De-briefing after the meal
You and your dietitian will decide the frequency of these visits.
