What to Expect
In your first session together, Brittany will spend time getting to know you and your personal health related goals by conducting a thorough nutrition assessment. The goal of session one is to gather information on nutrition habits, past barriers, medication/supplement use, medical history, lab work, and any other relevant information needed by the RD. Session one involves lots of questions to get to know you, so please take the time to ask any and all questions that you may have so that you and Brittany can continue learning from one another. After evaluating the initial information gathered, Brittany will collaboratively develop a plan of care with you that helps to best meet your individualized short and long-term goals towards healthy habits.
