Each person’s body and lifestyle is unique- what is right for one person may not be right for another.  Nutrition counseling is an opportunity to discover which nutrition and lifestyle approach is best to provide you with nutrients and life long habits to achieve and maintain optimal health.

Dr. Hamrick will work in conjunction with other members of your health care team to help improve your health. During your first visit, an initial nutrition assessment will be completed. The main purpose of this assessment is to gather information about your metabolic and lifestyle parameters and identify your nutrition goals to establish an appropriate nutrition intervention.  Based on that information, Dr. Hamrick will help you discover and choose your best options for diet and lifestyle changes that will address your distinct health concerns.

Other services provided during a counseling session include education about healthy eating, preventive nutrition and medical nutrition therapy (i.e., dietary intervention for heart disease, elevated lipids, diabetes, and weight management). A follow-up session is often helpful to reinforce suggestions for changes, receive your feedback and make appropriate changes based on your unique lifestyle needs.
