What to Expect

Your journey begins with a comprehensive 90-minute initial consultation where we review your health history, eating patterns, and weight loss goals. We'll discuss any previous diet attempts and identify what worked or didn't work for you. During week two, you'll receive your personalized meal plan and begin implementing gradual changes. We schedule follow-up appointments every two weeks for the first two months, then monthly thereafter. Between visits, you'll have access to our support team via email or text. We track progress through regular weigh-ins, body measurements, and how you're feeling overall. Adjustments to your plan happen as needed based on your results and feedback.

Why Choose Ideal Health Castleton

What sets us apart is our commitment to realistic, sustainable changes rather than extreme restrictions. Our clients typically lose 1-2 pounds per week while still enjoying foods they love, just in healthier versions. We don't believe in one-size-fits-all approaches, and every plan is tailored to your preferences, schedule, and family situation. Our success rate speaks for itself - over 80% of our clients maintain their weight loss after one year. We provide ongoing education about nutrition science in easy-to-understand terms, helping you to make informed decisions long after completing our program. Our team genuinely cares about your success and celebrates every milestone with you.

Insurance & Pricing

Most major insurance plans cover nutritional counseling when prescribed by your physician, and we'll help verify your coverage before starting. Our initial consultation fee is $150, with follow-up sessions at $75 each. We offer package deals that reduce costs significantly - a three-month program including all consultations and materials costs $450. Payment plans are available, and we never want finances to prevent someone from getting help. HSA and FSA cards are accepted for all services.

First-Time Patient Tips

Come to your first appointment having tracked your food intake for at least three days using any method that works for you - a phone app, journal, or photos. Bring a list of current medications and supplements, plus any recent lab work if available. Don't start a new diet before coming in, as we want to see your normal eating patterns. Wear comfortable clothing for body composition measurements. It's helpful to bring a family member or support person to your initial visit if they'll be involved in meal preparation. Most importantly, come with an open mind and realistic expectations about the timeline for sustainable change.
