About Your Nutrition and Dietetic Consultation
Read on to learn what a nutrition and dietetic consultation with Nutritionally Balanced would look like.
What Can I Expect to Happen in Our Consultation?
Your initial consultation will last 45-60 minutes and can be carried out either in person, via Zoom, Skype, Facetime or phone call.
The main focus of your initial consultation is to get to know your case history. This typically involves discussing your diet, lifestyle, any blood tests, and details of any medication or supplements that you’re currently taking.
The latter part of a consultation is typically used to agree to your initial plan and health goals. Your dietitian will tailor your session based on your individual needs.
Follow-up consultations last 30-40 minutes on average and can be carried out either in person, via Zoom, Skype, Facetime or phone call. During reviews, we will discuss and assess your progress, and modify/develop your plan according to your feedback (for example, how well you feel).
How Many Dietitian Sessions Will I Need?
Every patient has a unique set of requirements and treatment will be tailored to meet your individual needs.
Initial review consultations typically take place every 1-2 weeks (then every 3-4 weeks). Once your health goals have been achieved, reviews will space out to 3, 4 or 6 monthly reviews.
Consultation duration and frequency will differ based on your personal needs.
Nutritionally Balanced will work closely with you to help you achieve your health goals, and overcome any difficulties or challenges that you might be experiencing with your plan.
