What to expect
Nutrition counseling can enhance your nutrition quality of life. During the initial consultation, we’ll get acquainted and review your nutrition history in detail. You’ll share your food story along with how and why you desire any changes. Based on this information, we’ll develop a sustainable plan to best meet your needs.
Note: Medical nutrition therapy will include intuitive eating as therapeutically appropriate.

Insurance: Claims will be submitted directly to insurance if nutrition counseling is a covered benefit under your plan. Be sure to complete intake forms in a timely manner.
Please check with your insurance to see if nutrition counseling (or medical nutrition therapy) is covered under your benefits. Be sure to ask what limitations apply, including if coverage is dependent on diagnosis, referral requirements, number of visits allowed, co-pay amount, and whether visits are applied to your deductible.
