Complete 2-hour Initial Consult and Follow-up Visits
With the face-paced lives so many of us live and all of the confusing health information we are fed through the media, it can be very difficult to figure out what is best for you as an individual. Practical Nutrition is here to give you answers and guide you in putting together a plan that fits your lifestyle and at the same time helps you accomplish your health goals, including preventing future problems or managing a current issue.
Whether you or someone in your family struggles with compulsive eating, weight, allergies, cholesterol or blood sugar problems, digestive distress, anxiety and depression, memory and focus issues, or food sensitivities, the experienced instruction at Practical Nutrition can meet your needs.

During your initial appointment, we will spend a good amount of time evaluating your health history and current status of health. Because each area of your body is involved in your overall health, we look at the whole picture so we can put together a plan that will address all of your needs. We will then spend time teaching you how imbalances have occurred, or could occur, and help you understand the steps that need to take place in order to restore balance. This time will include putting together and individualized meal plan with recipes and tips for making it all work. If necessary, we will discuss nutrients that would optimize your path to wellness.
We often hear from our clients, that as they make changes in their lifestyle of eating, the first few trips to the grocery store can be overwhelming. As part of our services, we offer our clients assistance at the grocery store. This can be added on to the initial visit or scheduled after as a follow-up. The location needs to be discussed with our nutritionist, as distance can be an issue, but we try our best to be flexible with this.
Follow-up visits
People who have ongoing support from their nutritionist are usually the most successful. Follow-up appointments are either 30 or 60 minutes long and are available as a tool to help you stay on track and accomplish your goals. Follow-up appointments also include the option for grocery shopping assistance or more in-depth menu planning. The frequency of follow-ups will vary with each individual and will be discussed with your nutritionist on an on-going basis.
These appointments are recommended to take place in person if you are local, but phone appointments are also an option. Some people will meet face to face for the initial visit and will do follow-up appointments via phone. We do work with people all over the country, so even if you are not in the area we can consult over the phone.
All consults are by appointment only, so please call to inquire about available times.
Nutrient Consultation
Maybe you are someone who is just looking for some guidance on what nutrients would be optimal for your health. It can be very confusing to decide what supplements to take with all of the studies presented by the media on a regular basis. Also, navigating the vitamin section in the store can be pretty overwhelming?
Practical Nutrition gives you the opportunity to have a short consult with a Licensed Nutritionist, who is educated on what to look for in a good quality nutrient, what to take based on your needs, and how to take them. These appointments are half an hour and involve you filling out a short questionnaire which aids our nutritionist in putting together a nutrient plan for your individual health requirements.
Through our website you have access to an online supplement store that carries high quality, pharmaceutical grade nutrients. You can shop at any time of day, any day of the week.
These consults are very easily done over the phone, but can be done in person if desired. E-mail is also an option for this kind of consult as well.
Consults are by appointment only, so please call to inquire about available times.
As a nutritionist, I am not engaged in the diagnosis or medical treatment of disease. This must remain under the guidance of your primary health care practitioner. However, working in partnership with the advice of your physician, we can create an ideal nutrition program which we feel is an essential part of giving your body the ideal environment in which to heal.
