Nutrition

Patients seeking education about nutrition can schedule a one on one appointment with a nutritionist.  Counseling is available for, but not limited to, the following areas: diabetes self-care management, insulin resistance, weight control, thyroid disease, cardiovascular disease, gestational diabetes, hypertension and hyperlipidemia.

We have a wide variety of teaching materials tailored to all levels of education. During an appointment with the dietitian a patient will receive individual counseling and specific guidance with special diets. Our licensed and registered dietitian will

• Take a diet history and set goals that fit an individuals lifestyle
• Analyze a usual food intake and suggest changes to improve eating habits
• Provide a personalized diet instruction plan based on mutually determined goals
• And inform the primary care physician regarding the nutritional care plan

In order to help you and your nutritionist, we have included a Food Diary for you to print and fill out.  Please take a day and fill out the form stating specifically what you ate, how it was prepared, what time it was, and how you were feeling.  This additional tool will help your nutritionist set goals that will better fit your lifestyle.
