Foodcare Philosophy

I believe there is no one magic diet or a quick fix to health. Nutrition and exercise is not an exact science and is not a one size fits all. I love to help people customize nutrition and exercise plans to fit their lifestyle and needs. I am a big believer that small steps have a huge impact on health. By adding one vegetable or 10 minutes of exercise to your day can empower you on your health journey. Let’s work together to discover and create your meal plan and exercise goals that will lead you in the right direction on your healthy journey. Let’s do this together! One step at a time!

About Foodsmart Nutrition

How can a dietitian help me?

Our program is driven by registered dietitians who are clinically trained in medical nutrition therapy to treat all conditions with nutrition. Unlike many "one-size-fits-all" programs, we take a personalized approach to understand who you are and what you're looking to accomplish and then develop a plan just for you. We've seen numerous clinical outcomes amongst our 1.5M members with diseases like diabetes, obesity, and high cholesterol. We're confident we can offer the support you need.We work on your schedule. Whether you are available to meet once a week or once a month, we'll be here. We develop a plan that is specific to you so whether you have a goal to reach in one month or six, we can create a plan to help you get there.

How can nutrition support preventative care?

Our bodies keep score of every meal we've eaten over our lifetime and it is never too early to ensure those meals are as nutritious as possible. Chronic conditions, like diabetes and cardiovascular disease, develop over time, often many years. So, supporting good nutrition, even when you're in good health, can set you up for a lifetime of health and longevity.

What kind of health conditions do you help treat?

Our national network of registered dietitians are clinically trained in medical nutrition therapy. This means they are licensed to support any condition using nutrition. Some of the more common conditions include heart conditions, diabetes, cancer, digestive disorders like Celiac or irritable bowel disease, and obesity.

How much will my appointment cost?

Working with a dietitian is a wonderful addition to any care management team. We'll work to understand your current medications and protocols alongside your goals and develop a nutrition plan that can fit seamlessly into your routine. Since good nutrition is at the core of good health, addressing this is critical step towards better health.
