Services
Initial Sessions consist of 60 minute comprehensive intake where I'll gather information about your medical history, family history, current diet and lifestyle, current health concerns and goals. This session is required prior to booking any other one-on-one sessions.
Follow up appointments are available for 60, 45, and 30 minute sessions.
I think that the best care comes from a collaborative team. Nutrition is a complement to medicine, and I embrace communication with your medical providers to help ensure you are getting comprehensive care that addresses you as a whole.
What do appointments include? That will depend on you personally, but some possibilities are:
-
Detailed health-history and intake form
-
Nutrition focused physical exam - while we are working virtually, there are physical signs and symptoms that can signal nutrient deficiencies. We will walk through these together.
-
Labs (may include conventional or functional labs, like bloodwork or stool testing) - I partner with Rupa Health to order labs, or can collaborate with your medical provider to have labs ordered as well.
-
Questionnaires - we will use these initially, and may periodically revisit to monitor progress and guide our next steps
-
Mindset work - Therapeutic diets and external messages can impact your relationship with food and your body. Often recognizing this and challenging negative messaging around food can be an important step in making nourishing changes.
-
Referrals - I may refer you to a specialist or your primary care provider, and am happy to collaborate to help you get the most comprehensive care possible.
-
Dietary "experiments" - while I don't recommend being overly restrictive, there are cases where experimental avoidance and reintroduction of foods can help you heal and reduce any sensitivities you may have. I will help you with maintaining a nutrient-dense diet that meets your needs as we do this. Ultimately, the goal is to have you eating as widely-varied a diet as possible.
A note about insurance
I don't currently take insurance, but I am able to provide you with a superbill for you to submit for out of network coverage. Please check with your insurance company prior to meeting with me to determine if your plan offers any out of network coverage.
