What to Expect

Your journey begins with a comprehensive 90-minute initial consultation where we review your health history, dietary patterns, and weight loss goals. We conduct body composition analysis and metabolic assessments to establish baseline measurements. Based on this evaluation, we create a personalized nutrition plan with specific calorie and macronutrient targets tailored to your needs. Follow-up appointments occur bi-weekly initially, then monthly as you progress. Each session includes weight and measurement tracking, meal plan adjustments, and problem-solving strategies for any challenges you've encountered. We provide ongoing support through our client portal where you can access meal plans, track progress, and communicate with your nutritionist between appointments.

Keep a 3-day food diary to help us understand your current eating patterns. Wear comfortable clothing for body composition analysis and bring a list of questions about your nutrition concerns. During treatment, maintain open communication about any challenges or concerns. Follow your personalized meal plan as closely as possible while being honest about any deviations.
