Why Choose Nutritional Counseling

Nutrition counseling has become a supportive resource for promoting a healthier lifestyle. It is a continuous two-way interaction between the patient and the provider that identifies the patient’s nutritional problems, needs, and goals. It discusses ways to achieve these goals and emphasizes the importance of behavioral change.

How Nutritional Counseling works at Harbor Health Center in Capitola

How Nutritional Counseling Works

During the first appointment, we will ask about the goals and objectives. Then, review medical history and note any medications and supplements for a thorough assessment. We further try to understand the patient’s lifestyle stress levels, sleep, physical activity routine, energy levels, etc. Then, thoroughly discuss dietary habits, cooking preferences, and good or bad habits such as healthy snacking, late-night snacking, small meals, large meals, etc. With every bit of information, we prepare a customized plan that focuses on the patient’s needs. The idea is not for the patient to drastically lose weight but to steadily focus on realistic goals that do not harm the patient’s health.
