Nutritional Counseling

What is nutritional counseling?

Nutritional counseling is a preventive service that helps improve your diet and eating habits to promote better health. Eating a consistent, well-balanced diet is key to lifelong physical, mental, emotional, and sexual wellness.

Nutritional counseling identifies the nutrients your body needs to function optimally and empowers you to make healthier dietary choices.

Elevate Wellness offers customized meal plans and nutrition-focused care for adults and children. The experienced nutritional specialists help you make lifelong changes to your eating habits and diet,  reducing your risk of nutritional deficiencies and chronic illnesses.

When should I consider nutritional counseling?

You can benefit from the nutritional counseling services available at Elevate Wellness if you’re looking to optimize your daily diet but don’t know where to start.

The providers recommend nutritional counseling for adults and adolescents who are overweight and at increased risk for obesity-related diseases like type 2 diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure), and high cholesterol.

Nutritional counseling is also available for people who have chronic health conditions like:

• Cancer
• Diabetes
• Heart disease
• Hormone imbalance
• Gastrointestinal disorders
• Food intolerances or allergies

If you have an eating disorder or a condition that affects how your body absorbs nutrients, the Elevate Wellness providers help you identify strategies to improve your diet. 

They also offer intravenous (IV) vitamin therapy to correct nutritional deficiencies and quickly rehydrate your body. 

What happens during my first nutritional counseling appointment?

During your initial visit for nutritional counseling at Elevate Wellness, expect to discuss your current diet and eating habits with the providers. They ask questions about your medical history, lifestyle, and personal food preferences, complete a physical exam, and may order blood work and other diagnostic tests. 

Based on your nutritional needs, your provider helps you set reasonable goals and suggests meal plans and other strategies.

They offer evidence-based guidance about food choices, portion control, and mindful eating practices to help you integrate lasting changes into your routine. You can rely on the providers to monitor your progress during follow-up appointments and help you set new goals to support your long-term health.
