As a registered nutritionist with years of experience helping individuals achieve sustainable weight loss, Deb combines practical nutrition education with thorough assessment to identify underlying factors that may be hindering weight loss success.

Our practice emphasizes the importance of understanding each client's unique nutritional needs, metabolic factors, and lifestyle constraints before developing effective weight management strategies. We believe that successful weight loss requires more than generic diet plans, which is why we utilize diagnostic services to uncover potential nutritional deficiencies, food sensitivities, and metabolic issues that could be sabotaging weight loss efforts. Our goal is to help clients with knowledge and tools for long-term success.

Services Offered

Our nutrition counseling services begin with comprehensive dietary assessments and health history evaluations to understand individual eating patterns, preferences, and challenges. We provide personalized meal planning that takes into account food preferences, cultural considerations, and busy lifestyles. Our weight loss programs focus on sustainable behavior modification rather than restrictive dieting, teaching clients how to make informed food choices for long-term success. We offer ongoing support and education to help clients navigate challenges such as emotional eating, dining out, and maintaining motivation. Our diagnostic services include food sensitivity testing, nutritional deficiency assessments, and metabolic evaluations that can reveal hidden obstacles to weight loss.

What to Expect

Your nutrition journey begins with a detailed consultation including comprehensive dietary history, health assessment, and discussion of your weight loss goals and previous experiences. We review any existing medical conditions and medications that could affect nutrition needs or weight management. Based on this evaluation, we may recommend specific diagnostic tests to identify potential underlying issues.

Once we have complete information, we develop a personalized nutrition plan that includes specific meal recommendations, portion guidance, and practical implementation strategies. Regular follow-up sessions track progress, address challenges, and refine the approach as needed. We provide continuous education and support to ensure you develop the knowledge and confidence to maintain healthy eating patterns independently.

Insurance & Pricing

Many insurance plans cover nutrition counseling services, particularly when medically necessary for conditions such as diabetes or heart disease. We provide detailed insurance verification and can help determine coverage for your specific situation. Self-pay rates for nutrition counseling range from $100-150 per session, with package deals available for multiple visit programs. Diagnostic testing costs vary based on specific tests recommended and are discussed transparently before ordering. We offer flexible payment options to make quality nutrition counseling accessible to clients regardless of insurance coverage.

First-Time Patient Tips

Before your first appointment, please complete any health questionnaires thoroughly and gather information about current medications and supplements. Consider keeping a food diary for several days prior to your visit to help identify current eating patterns and potential problem areas. Bring any recent lab work or medical records that might be relevant to your nutrition goals.

During your nutrition program, be honest about challenges and setbacks so we can address them effectively. Follow through with recommended diagnostic testing when appropriate, as this information is crucial for developing the most effective strategies. Stay consistent with follow-up appointments even when progress feels slow, as sustainable changes take time to develop. Remember that setbacks are normal parts of the process, and we're here to help you navigate them successfully.
