What types of clients do you work with as a holistic nutritionist?

I can work with anyone! The best fit for my services however, would be a person who is perhaps disenfranchised with a drug model of health that deals only with symptoms and wants to get to the root causes, or wants a healthier, more holistic and natural way to health. Also, someone who is highly driven and motivated to take the steps and exercise the discipline needed to make the necessary lifestyle changes would be a great fit.

What factors do you consider when helping someone make changes?

I look at a very broad picture when looking to help someone improve their health and establish better habits. I consider health history, sources of toxicity, emotional and physical stresses, amount and quality of sleep, state of fitness and activity, on top of one’s food habits and whatever nutritional deficiencies might be present. And more. There are many things to consider; much more than the symptoms you may be displaying.

Are your services covered by insurance?

It used to be not so much…but that is changing thankfully. More and more third-party and company health insurance policies are covering Holistic Nutritionist services. Check with your health insurance provider to see if they will provide coverage for my services.

Do you hope to have clients as repeat customers forever, or do you have different expectations?

My model is that of helping clients improve to the point that they feel they can move forward on their own. With the exception perhaps of the stand-alone graph which can be completed annually, for example, at a fraction of the cost of the initial deep dive package…it is not my hope to have clients coming back regularly. I want to see you improve your health! However, if you need extra help and want to return for more sessions, that is of course fine.

Do you provide educational resources or materials to help?

Yes if people are interested and want to spend time to learn, I will give out information and links. I encourage this because knowledge is power. I let clients know what is important to learn in their particular situations and can provide links to articles or information where this knowledge can be found.

What is a realistic time frame to start seeing change?

This is highly variable. Lasting change takes time to occur, and the rate of change varies from person to person, their previous condition and health status, genetics and how dedicated they are to improving their health. However if you are truly dedicated and disciplined in putting positive diet and lifestyle changes in to effect, including an appropriate exercise regime, you can start to see some changes within a month, although a few months is more realistic if you are looking for noticeable changes. However even this can be a bit misleading, as things can be changing for the better on the inside with your health even if you cannot see or feel or weigh those changes externally. Nevertheless, keep going with things and you will continue moving onwards and upwards!
