About Nutrition Refocused

Nutrition Refocused brings personalized nutrition counseling to Colorado Springs residents seeking sustainable weight loss solutions. Our team of registered dietitians understands that every person's relationship with food is unique, which is why we create individualized plans that fit your lifestyle, preferences, and health goals.

Founded on evidence-based nutrition science, we don't believe in quick fixes or restrictive diets. Instead, we focus on building healthy habits that last a lifetime. Our compassionate approach helps clients overcome emotional eating patterns, understand portion control, and develop a positive relationship with food while achieving their weight loss objectives.

Services Offered

Our comprehensive weight loss services center around registered dietitian consultations that address your specific nutritional needs. We provide detailed metabolic assessments to understand how your body processes food and identify any underlying factors affecting your weight loss journey. Meal planning services include customized weekly menus with shopping lists and preparation tips that fit your schedule and cooking skills. We offer ongoing nutrition education through individual sessions and small group workshops covering topics like reading nutrition labels, dining out strategies, and managing cravings. Our body composition analysis tracks changes in muscle mass and body fat percentage, providing a more complete picture than traditional scales. Additionally, we specialize in managing weight-related health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and metabolic syndrome through targeted nutritional interventions that support both weight loss and overall health improvement.

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 conduct a metabolic assessment and body composition analysis to establish baseline measurements. Together, we'll create a personalized nutrition plan that includes meal timing, portion guidance, and food choices tailored to your preferences and lifestyle.

Follow-up appointments occur bi-weekly initially, then monthly as you progress. Each session includes plan adjustments, problem-solving challenges, and celebrating successes. We provide ongoing support through a client portal where you can track progress, access resources, and message your dietitian between appointments.

Why Choose Nutrition Refocused

Our registered dietitians bring years of clinical experience and stay current with the latest nutrition research. We take the time to understand your unique challenges, whether they're related to busy schedules, food preferences, or underlying health conditions.

Unlike commercial weight loss programs, we don't sell supplements or meal replacements. Our focus is on teaching you how to make informed food choices using real, accessible foods. We provide practical tools and strategies that work in the real world, not just in controlled environments. Our success rate reflects our personalized approach and ongoing support system.

We're in-network with most major insurance providers including Anthem, Cigna, and United Healthcare. Our staff will verify your benefits and help you understand your coverage before your first appointment.

For those paying out-of-pocket, initial consultations are $180, with follow-up sessions at $95. We offer package deals for multiple sessions and sliding scale fees for those with financial hardship. HSA and FSA accounts can be used for payment.

First-Time Patient Tips

Before your first appointment, complete our comprehensive intake forms online and keep a three-day food diary to help us understand your current eating patterns. Bring a list of current medications and any recent lab work from your doctor. It's helpful to think about your weight loss goals and what obstacles you've faced in the past.

Come prepared to discuss your lifestyle honestly, including work schedules, family dynamics, and cooking skills. We're here to help, not judge, so the more information you share, the better we can tailor your plan. Wear comfortable clothing for the body composition analysis, and bring a water bottle as we'll discuss hydration strategies during your visit.
