Nutritional counseling
Good nutrition is essential for health. A healthy eating habit is the foundation of all dietary recommendations. Women of various age groups have specific nutrient needs. Often it is difficult to incorporate these specific needs into daily intake without a thorough understanding of physiology and biochemical properties of foods. Dietary interventions for physiological abnormalities are even more difficult. Our nutrition experts are trained to assist in these conditions and are required to keep up with the latest research through professional registration.
Consultation Process
- Initial consult is provided on referral from doctor. Clients are given a detailed assessment on their present intake and recommendations are given in the form of an individually tailored plan.
- Follow-up visits assure that clients can follow their nutrition plan and attain their dietary goals. Here we also discuss behavior modification techniques as well as to provide reinforcement. The diet plan is modified if necessary, based on the client's input.
- Maintenance - at least one visit is encouraged to ensure that dietary changes have been maintained 6-8 months after goal is reached.
