Nutritional Counselling

1. What is nutritional counselling?

Nutritional counselling at Naturopathie Integrative Clinic involves meeting with one of our professional holistic practitioners to assess your current dietary habits, health goals, and medical history. Our practitioners take a whole-body approach to creating a personalized nutrition plan. Nutritional counselling helps you optimize your diet to promote health, prevent disease, and reach your wellness goals.

2. How is nutritional counselling different from just getting general diet advice? 

At Naturopathie ND, our nutritional counselling is tailored specifically to you and your needs. We don't offer blanket advice or fad diets. Our holistic practitioners get to know you and your health conditions, lifestyle, preferences, and goals. When needed, we use functional lab testing to uncover root causes. This personalized approach results in a nutrition plan that suits your unique biochemistry and situation.

3. What health conditions can nutritional counselling help with?

The right diet can help manage numerous health conditions, including fatigue, digestive issues, autoimmune disorders, mood disorders, hormonal imbalances, weight management, cardiovascular disease, cancer and more. Our practitioners have experience creating plans to help with many conditions. Nutritional counselling can also optimize wellness even without a specific health condition.

4. What areas does a nutritional counselling session cover?

Our holistic practitioners will assess your current eating patterns, lifestyle habits, symptoms, and medical history in your session. We'll evaluate your nutritional needs, deficiencies, food sensitivities, and metabolism. You'll discuss health goals like more energy, better sleep, weight loss, or disease prevention. Based on the assessment, we provide dietary recommendations specific to your needs. 

5. What can I expect during a nutritional counselling session?

Your first visit will be an in-depth assessment with your assigned holistic nutrition practitioner. You'll fill out a comprehensive health questionnaire and discuss your needs one-on-one. Follow-up sessions, as needed, will provide continued guidance, plan adjustment, accountability, and support. Your practitioner will equip you with the knowledge to improve your diet and health.

6. How often will I need to schedule nutritional counselling sessions? 

The frequency of your sessions depends on your individual needs. Many clients start with weekly or bi-weekly sessions. As you progress, you may only need monthly or quarterly follow-ups. Your holistic nutrition practitioner will work with you to determine the best schedule. We also offer discounted packages of multiple sessions for continued support.

7. Will nutritional counselling help me lose weight?

Weight loss is a common goal; many clients see results through nutritional counselling. Our practitioners will ensure your plan provides balanced macronutrients for your needs, regulates blood sugar, enhances metabolism, and supports healthy digestion. Lifestyle changes are also covered to optimize the diet's effectiveness. However, we focus on long-term wellness, not just short-term weight loss.

8. Do you provide meal plans in nutritional counselling?

Depending on your preference, meal plans can be provided each week or developed for an entire month. We can also help with grocery lists, snack ideas, eating-out recommendations, and supplement recommendations.

9. Is nutritional counselling covered by insurance? 

Some extended health insurance plans cover nutritional counselling services. Our office staff can check your individual coverage details before your first appointment. We also offer affordable fees and packages tailored to various budgets and needs.
