Weight Management and Wellness
Whether you want to lose, gain or maintain weight or need help with a chronic condition, I am both your partner and your coach, working with you to create realistic strategies customized for your life. I meet with individuals, families and couples. For those that prefer a group approach, you can hire me to work with a group of your friends or co-workers as well.
I employ a no-nonsense approach to nutrition using evidence-based research as my foundation. I help people focus on what foods to eat rather than focusing on what not to eat. I give personalized, practical and realistic advice and my unique ability to find creative solutions for my clients’ lifestyles is what sets me apart from the rest. We all lead hectic lives and having a dietitian in your corner helps to cut through all the clutter and make lasting changes to improve your health.
I consult with clients on a number of health issues, including:
- Weight Management (gain, lose or maintain)
- Family and pediatric nutrition
- Maternal nutrition
- Heart disease (including high cholesterol, high triglycerides & high blood pressure)
- Sports Nutrition
Grocery Store Tours
Tour your favorite grocery store with me, and I will
- Demonstrate how to compare products and make better choices based upon your health goals
- Discuss label reading and claims on foods
- Assess how your favorites foods fit into a healthy lifestyle
- Show you what foods to add to your diet
- Give you great shopping tips (i.e., saving money, navigating the store, getting the most bang for your buck)
- Discuss menu planning
Kitchen Pantry Makeover
Does your kitchen need a nutrition makeover? I can come to your house and help you go through your cabinets, refrigerator and freezer to help you assess the foods that you buy as well as discuss how to make better choices. It is very helpful for me to see a person in their natural environment as it provides a realistic picture on which to make practical suggestions. During our time together we will discuss:
- Types of foods and best choices within each category
- Food preferences/habits
- Cooking preparation techniques and tips
- Label reading
Recipe Analysis and Development
Do you have a family favorite recipe that you would like to have analyzed? Or maybe make a family recipe healthier to fit with your health goals? I can analyze your recipe, providing a detailed nutrient breakdown. In addition, my experience in the kitchen can help transform your favorite dishes into ones that are better for your family’s health.
Nutrition Presentations
From corporate lunch-and-learns to informal friend gatherings, I can design a nutrition presentation for your group! Here are some topics I’ve presented in the past, though new topics are always fun to develop:
- Nutrition and Aging Gracefully
- Nutrition and Physical Fitness 101
- Fueling Young Athletes
- Nutrition Know-How and Weight Management
- Menu Planning and Label Reading
