Initial Nutrition Assessment

Your initial nutrition assessment is a comprehensive look at your health, nutrition, and lifestyle. We’ll take the time to review your complete medical and nutrition history, medications, supplements, relevant laboratory results, symptoms, eating habits, lifestyle, nutrition concerns, goals, and other factors that may influence your nutrition needs.

From there, we’ll identify your priorities together and create a personalized roadmap for your nutrition care. Your roadmap will take into consideration your health needs, what matters most to you, and what feels realistic for your lifestyle. We’ll also discuss what follow-up care may look like, including the areas we may work on together over time.

You’ll leave with clear next steps and a better understanding of where we’re starting and where we’re going.

60 minutes | In-Office or Virtual

Also available as an In-Home Nutrition Visit

Looking for more meal inspiration? Following your Initial Nutrition Assessment, you can choose to add a personalized recipe package for an additional fee. Your package can include two weeks of breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snack ideas tailored to your individual nutrition needs and preferences.

Follow-Up Nutrition Appointments

Follow-up appointments are where we continue building on your personalized nutrition roadmap. We’ll review your progress, discuss what’s working, address any challenges or questions, and adjust your nutrition plan as your needs change.

Each appointment will focus on the areas that are most important to you at that time. We may work on new nutrition goals, explore specific topics in more detail, review relevant symptoms, food journals or laboratory results, and develop practical strategies that fit into your everyday life.

Also available as part of a 60-minute In-Home Nutrition Visit

In-Home Nutrition Visits

Bring personalized nutrition care into the comfort of your own home. In-home visits give us the opportunity to work together in your everyday environment and tailor the visit to what would be most helpful for you.

Depending on your needs, an in-home visit can be used in place of an in-office Initial Nutrition Assessment or Follow-Up Appointment, or it can be tailored to provide more hands-on nutrition support. Your visit may include reviewing your pantry and kitchen, preparing foods that fit your nutrition needs, discussing grocery and meal options, or involving family members in your nutrition care.

The possibilities are flexible—we’ll personalize the visit around your health needs, goals, and lifestyle so that what we work on together feels practical and can be applied in your everyday life.

VioScreen Nutrition Assessment

Want to better understand your eating habits and know where to focus? VioScreen is a scientifically validated dietary assessment tool that provides a detailed look at your usual eating patterns. It can help identify what you’re already doing well and where there may be opportunities for improvement.

The VioScreen questionnaire takes approximately 20 minutes to complete and uses pictures and visual examples to help you answer questions about your usual eating habits and food choices.

You’ll receive a Healthy Eating Index (HEI) score and personalized nutrition reports that provide insight into your overall diet quality, food-group intake, nutrient intake, eating patterns, and the foods contributing to different areas of your nutrition. Research has linked higher HEI scores with better long-term health outcomes, highlighting the importance of overall diet quality in supporting health.

Your Registered Dietitian will review your VioScreen results before meeting with you for a 30-minute virtual results review. Together, we’ll go through your reports, explain the key findings, answer your questions, and identify a few practical, realistic areas you may want to focus on.

The VioScreen Nutrition Assessment is designed to provide insight into your current eating patterns and is not a replacement for a comprehensive Initial Nutrition Assessment when more individualized nutrition care is needed.

Includes VioScreen assessment + personalized nutrition reports + 30-minute virtual results review

Presentations and workshops can range from shorter educational sessions to more in-depth programs, with the format and length tailored to your group’s needs. Whether you choose an existing topic or a fully customized presentation, we’ll work with you to create an option that fits your audience, goals, and budget.

Areas Of Focus

Nutrition needs can look very different depending on your health, lifestyle, and individual circumstances. We provide personalized, evidence-based nutrition support for a range of health concerns, helping you navigate nutrition information, make sense of recommendations, and feel more confident in your everyday food choices.

Below are some of the areas we commonly support, but we also work with many other nutrition needs and health goals.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)

Living with chronic kidney disease (CKD) can make food choices feel overwhelming, especially when you’re receiving conflicting advice or worrying about what you can and can’t eat.

We provide personalized nutrition guidance based on your kidney function, laboratory values, medical history, medications, lifestyle, and preferences. Depending on your individual needs, we may address protein, sodium, potassium, phosphorus, fluids, and other areas of nutrition—without applying unnecessary restrictions.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been living with chronic kidney disease for years, we provide personalized nutrition support at every stage, helping you make practical, realistic food choices that fit your needs and lifestyle.

Migraine Health

Living with migraines can be frustrating and unpredictable, making it difficult to know whether food is helping, hurting, or has nothing to do with your symptoms.

We take an individualized approach to migraine nutrition, looking at factors such as eating patterns, hydration, meal timing, lifestyle, medical history, and potential dietary triggers. Rather than relying on overly restrictive diets, we focus on realistic, evidence-based strategies tailored to you.

Nutrition is just one piece of migraine management. We can also explore practical strategies to help you navigate nutrition-related challenges, such as nausea, changes in appetite, or medication-related side effects. This may include discussing what and how to eat before, during, and after a migraine attack, as well as between attacks. Our goal is to help you feel more confident managing your nutrition needs while living with migraines.

High Blood Pressure

Nutrition can play an important role in managing high blood pressure, but making changes doesn’t have to mean giving up the foods you enjoy.

We’ll look at your current eating patterns, sodium intake, food choices, lifestyle, and individual health needs to identify realistic areas to focus on. Together, we can explore strategies such as reducing excess sodium, incorporating more nutrient-rich foods, understanding food labels, and making practical changes when cooking, shopping, or eating out.

Our goal is to help you build sustainable eating habits that support healthy blood pressure while still fitting your preferences and everyday life.

Heart-Healthy Nutrition

Nutrition can play an important role in cardiovascular health. Whether you're looking to address existing health concerns, reduce your risk of heart disease, or take a more proactive approach to your health, understanding how your food choices may influence your cardiovascular health is a valuable place to start.

We’ll look at your overall eating patterns, relevant laboratory results, food choices, lifestyle, and individual health needs to identify areas where nutrition may help. Depending on your needs, we may focus on dietary fats, fiber, sodium, fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and other heart-healthy eating strategies.

Together, we’ll create realistic changes that fit your preferences and lifestyle, helping you feel more confident about making food choices that support your heart health.

Prediabetes & Type 2 Diabetes

Managing blood sugar doesn’t mean you need to eliminate all carbohydrates or follow an overly restrictive diet. Nutrition can help you better understand how different foods and eating patterns affect your blood sugar while still allowing flexibility in what you eat.

We’ll look at your eating patterns, carbohydrate intake, food choices, lifestyle, laboratory results, and individual health needs to identify realistic areas to focus on. Together, we can work on balanced meals, carbohydrate quality and portions, fiber, meal timing, and other strategies that support blood sugar management.

Our goal is to help you make sustainable changes that fit your lifestyle and feel more confident making everyday food choices.
