What is Dietician Counseling?

Dietician Counseling is a personalized service that blends medical nutrition therapy with one-on-one guidance to help you build healthier eating habits. A registered dietician reviews your diet, sets realistic goals, and provides ongoing support to improve digestion, energy levels, and overall wellbeing.

You may benefit from Dietician Counseling if you experience:

  • Frequent bloating or gas
  • Unexplained weight gain or weight loss
  • Chronic fatigue or low energy
  • Blood sugar spikes or crashes
  • Difficulty digesting certain foods

Causes

Nutrition and digestive issues often stem from:

  • Skipping meals or erratic eating schedules
  • Food intolerances (e.g., gluten, dairy)
  • Stress-related or emotional eating
  • Chronic conditions like IBS, diabetes, or heart disease
  • Side effects of medications
Treatment
