What to Expect

Your journey begins with a comprehensive 90-minute initial consultation where we assess your health history, eating patterns, and weight loss goals. We'll discuss any previous diet attempts and identify potential obstacles to success. Based on this assessment, we create a personalized nutrition and lifestyle plan that includes specific meal recommendations, portion guidance, and behavioral strategies. Follow-up sessions occur bi-weekly initially, then monthly as you progress. We continuously adjust your plan based on your results and feedback, ensuring it remains effective and sustainable.

Why Choose Beyond Food Wellness

What sets Beyond Food Wellness apart is our focus on the psychological aspects of eating alongside nutritional guidance. Unlike quick-fix programs, we take time to understand your unique challenges and create solutions that work for your specific situation. Our registered dietitians stay current with the latest nutrition research and avoid fad diets or extreme restrictions. We emphasize sustainable changes that improve your overall health, not just the number on the scale. Our clients appreciate our non-judgmental approach and the ongoing support we provide throughout their journey.

Insurance & Pricing

Many health insurance plans cover nutritional counseling, and we're happy to provide documentation for reimbursement. Our initial consultation is $200, with follow-up sessions at $125 each. We offer package deals for multiple sessions and payment plans for those who need them. We believe investing in your health should be accessible, so we work with clients to find payment options that fit their budget.

First-Time Patient Tips

Come prepared for your first visit with a food diary from the past week and a list of your current medications or supplements. It's helpful to bring any recent lab work or medical records related to your weight or metabolic health. We encourage you to think about your goals beyond just weight loss - consider how you want to feel, what activities you'd like to enjoy, and what changes would most improve your quality of life. Don't worry about starting any major changes before your first appointment; we'll create a plan together that feels manageable and realistic for your lifestyle.
