Your first visit is focused on understanding your symptoms, goals, health history, routines, and priorities so your dietitian can build a plan that feels practical and personalized.
If intentional weight loss is your goal, a dietitian can help build an eating approach around your health needs, preferences, routine, and priorities. Weight loss is one possible goal—not the definition of weight-management nutrition care.
Nutrition counseling can also support people who need or want to gain weight or who have difficulty maintaining weight, with attention to adequate intake, appetite, meal and snack structure, and practical ways to meet nutrition needs.
A prescribed GLP-1 medication can change appetite, food intake, food tolerance, and gastrointestinal symptoms. Nutrition counseling can help you meet protein and other nutrition needs as those changes occur. Medication prescribing, dosing, and changes remain with the prescribing clinician.
Needs before and after bariatric surgery can differ from general weight-management care. Let us know if surgery is part of your care so we can account for the procedure, stage of care, and medical-team guidance when matching you.
We don't use the word "Personalized" lightly.
