Nutrition Counseling
- Description
Our registered dietitians provide personalized nutrition counseling to help you achieve your health goals. We focus on creating sustainable lifestyle changes, not quick fixes.
Nutrition is a vital part of aging well. For older adults, unhealthy eating habits can increase the risk of acute and chronic conditions like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis, and certain cancers. Malnutrition—or the lack of nutrients needed to thrive—can lead to a greater risk of falls, a weakened immune system, decreased bone mass, and slow wound healing.
What is the target audience?
Along with other lifestyle changes, improving the way you eat can lower your risk of developing hypertension, type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, obesity, and other chronic conditions. If you already have a chronic disease, nutrition counseling can help ease some of the physical symptoms you’re experiencing or even reverse the condition altogether. For example, if you’re diabetic, losing weight through dietary changes could help bring your blood glucose down to normal levels.
