Nutritional Counseling and Wellness
Functional nutrition looks at your unique needs. Whether you're looking to lose weight, eat healthier, manage chronic conditions or just feel better, food is used as medicine to reverse the effects of the modern diet to control weight, ease symptoms of disease and take back your health.
Eating Understood Nutritional Counseling, will:
- Look at the cause of issues, not just symptoms
- Define areas of the body that need attention (e.g. digestive system, blood sugar)
- Identify food sensitivities, allergies & deficiencies
- Create a personalized plan for your specific nutritional requirements & objectives
- Work to correct nutritional deficiencies & imbalances
- Aim to restore balance & help you to feel better
- Go at your pace – take it slow, jump in with both feet or somewhere in between
- Support any healing reactions
We’ll work together to support your unique needs and what you are trying to achieve.
A full consultation will include:
We’ll chart areas that need the most support and create a customized plan unique to your needs.
FREE pre-consultation: We’ll get to know each other and discuss what you want to get out of nutrition counseling in a 15 minute phone or Skype session.

Nutritional Assessment Questionnaire outlining your health concerns plus a review of lifestyle, medications and any symptoms or food concerns.

Testing Foods & Supplements for their benefit to you and any possible reactions.

Nutritional recommendations to support your goals will include specific instructions such as foods, supplements, hand-outs or books.
