Nutrition Counseling

What is nutrition counseling?

Nutrition counseling is a personalized approach to improving health through informed food choices and lifestyle changes. At Altamont Family Health & Integrative Medicine, Amanda and the team go beyond calorie counting and exercising. The team assesses your whole health picture, including chronic conditions, food sensitivities, lifestyle choices, and your emotional relationship with food.

There are many benefits to nutrition counseling, including:

• Preventing and managing chronic conditions like heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension
• Supporting weight loss, weight management, and healthy metabolism
• Improving your digestion and gut health
• Boosting your energy and mental clarity

The team customizes each of your appointments to achieve your unique goals, whether you're recovering from illness, looking to eat more mindfully, or making long-term lifestyle changes.

What can I expect during a nutrition counseling appointment?

During your appointment, Amanda listens carefully to your concerns and goals. She works with you to create a realistic plan to help you achieve those goals. Her guidance is rooted in evidence-based practices and timeless integrative medicine principles.
