During the initial consult, Rachel will recommend an individualized nutrition plan after a thorough interview and assessment. During the interview, Rachel will ask you questions pertaining to your diet (what you typically eat), exercise habits and any medical conditions your are being treated for as well as medications that you currently take. Also, it is important that Rachel know if you take any vitamins, herbs or dietary supplements.

After the interview, Rachel will assess what specific diet and exercise changes you need to help you reach your health goals. This may encompass adding or limiting certain foods as well as adding or changing your exercise routine. You will leave your consult with a written copy of your individualized plan.

Responses to lifestyle modifications vary from patient to patient. Some patients will see improvements very quickly, while it may take longer for others. Typically, after the initial assessment a follow-up visit will be made at which time your original goals will be evaluated to ensure that you are on track. The number of subsequent visits will vary depending on the nature of your condition and your success with implementing the recommended lifestyle changes.

Initial consults can take up to an hour and follow-up visits are usually a half hour.
