Consultations

Here’s what to expect from a nutritional consultation:

• Understand your motivations and challenges, to formulate an ideal dietary strategy.
• Make a nutritional assessment, identifying any food imbalances.
• Establish practical nutritional goals and expectations, tailored to your needs.
• Develop a dietary plan for ongoing success.
• Answer your questions about optimal nutrition.
• Suggesting appropriate sports activities and providing with advice for a better lifestyle.
• Suggest supplemental means to a healthy lifestyle, such as stress management techniques and exercise.
• Offer educational tools to assist your efforts.
• Ensure personalized support and regular follow-up.

Note: All consultations take place via online video interface, explained in detail here.

I take a holistic approach, nutrition in the context of your physical, mental, and emotional makeup. We’ll explore factors that influence eating habits. We’ll adapt a dietary plan to your age, gender, occupation, home environment, family life, budget, etc. Rather than making drastic alterations, I find that gradual changes yield more enduring results.

My holistic approach focuses on four main areas: nutrition, emotional wellness, stress relief and lifestyle. I also recommend various supplements to help my clients achieve optimal health. While I find the right supplements an invaluable part of optimizing health at some stages of life, the backbone of my programs is : food first, supplement second. We should get most of our nutrients from good quality, unprocessed, whole foods. 

In place of the term “diet,” I prefer using the words “nutritional program.” People often associate a diet with calorie restrictions. I want to guide you toward a healthy eating plan, not a regimented diet. You choose the framework. Some people desire structure while others need flexibility.

You might want to change specific behaviors or adapt menus to a new philosophy, such as vegetarianism. We’ll match the program format to your temperament and objectives.

Eating patterns aren’t changed with one consultation. I find that three or four meetings are needed to forge new habits. By scheduling a session every two to three weeks, you’ll receive ongoing assistance. We’ll build a momentum that you can sustain on your own, long-term.

Before our first online meeting, you’ll complete a comprehensive questionnaire. Your answers will provide me with necessary information about your current diet, lifestyle, medical history, health concerns, medications, and goals.

During the first consultation, we’ll go through a complete assessment of your diet, lifestyle, and overall health, and we’ll formulate nutritional objectives, based on your needs. You’ll also receive a preliminary list of recommendations about foods, supplements and lifestyle in order to begin your wellness journey.

During our second consultation, we’ll further analyze your diet. Then, we’ll design a complete nutritional plan that’s tasty and targets your goals.

At follow-up meetings, we’ll evaluate the success of our strategy, tweaking it as needed. Together, we’ll iron out any wrinkles that may arise. Any subsequent sessions will focus on steadily optimizing your health. 

The nutrition consultation is not a substitute for a medical consultation: only your doctor is authorized to make a diagnosis and to offer medical treatment. I won’t change a treatment that your doctor has put in place.

My action aims to improve your eating habits and your lifestyle, and to optimize your health with appropriate food choices.
