WHAT IS INCLUDED IN EACH CONSULT?
INITIAL CONSULTATION INCLUDING MEAL PLAN
In this consult, your dietitian will conduct a full assessment of your medical history, dietary habits and exercise habits and measurements. You and your dietitian will work together to establish your short-term and long-term goals. The last 30 minutes of the consult will be dedicated to general nutritional education and guidelines to help you reach these goals. These guidelines along with recipes and any other relevant nutrition resources will be emailed to you after your initial consultation.
After the consultation, you will receive a personalized meal plan designed specifically for your goals, body type, medical history, exercise routine, and food preferences. Please note that this is not a rigid "diet" but rather a plan to help you implement sustainable lifestyle changes. Meal plans are not only used for weight loss but can be used for weight gain, managing certain disease conditions, managing food intolerances, or just for extra support and structure in adjusting to a plant-based diet. The meal plan also includes a document of recipes, general nutrition guidelines, and an eating-out guide. Your dietitian will email your personalized meal plan to you within 3 days of your initial consultation.
