This is a great start to trying to figure out what your goals are, how we are going to get you there, the timeframe and what will be your motivation. While routine visits will likely result in better outcomes starting with a purchase of one consultation may be a good idea if you are not sure what your goals are yet. The first meeting between RD and client will involve an in-depth review of prior medical history, family history, previous eating styles and behavior with discussion on your long-term goals. The session may include any or all of the following: goal setting, education with handouts and resources for future reference, lifestyle modifications and guidance for success and meal planning. Of note these visits can be done in person at my home-office or via secure online meetings.
Follow up visits are utilized to provide a check-in on previous goals, identify any issues or concerns with current plan and find solutions to keep you on your path to success. You may even find that you are ready to add additional goals which we can incorporate as well.
This package will include the initial consultation and then four (4) follow up visits plus On Demand RD with timeline of visits determined between myself and you. This is the best option to help stay on track of your plan for success and identify any barriers sooner rather than later in achieving your goals.
Along with the kitchen update this service is great for someone new to label reading and navigating the stores. Marketing in grocery stores is done very strategically in which the “health halo” effect can be very confusing. This is a marketing technique in which catch phrases that sounds healthy can encourage consumers to pick their product. On many cases these items highlight only one aspect of their item but may actually contain other ingredients that make that item not so healthy. As an educated consumer you will be able to navigate the store and make educated decisions on your product choices.
In the beginning there may be a lot of questions as you adapat to any lifestyle changes. Potential situations in which this may be useful is at a restaurant when trying to choose the best option for your goals or at a store when comparing different products. My goal is to provide coaching when you need it and I am here for you via HIPPA secure app to get you on your way, educated and confident in your decisions.
