you a variety of health questions, assess your current dietary patterns,
and will help you design a nutrition program including the amount
of calories, fat, protein, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals

most accurate caloric number, please let us know if you are interested
in metabolism testing
when you schedule your appointment.

including but not limited to:Bariatric Surgery, Diabetes Type I
and II, High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol, Fertility, PCOS,
Food Allergy, Gout, Gerd, other Gastrointestional related conditions,
and Eating disorders. At your first nutrition session, a registered

Traditional
Weight Loss
If you do not mind losing 1-2 pounds a week, or have less than 10 pounds to lose, have never met with a nutrition professional or have never tried other programs we recommend traditional weight loss. At your first nutrition session one of our dietitian nutritionists will meet with you for a nutrition assessment. We do recommend metabolism testing, so we can accurately determine how many calories you need at this first assessment.
Medical Weight Loss Program
If you want to lose weight fast and safe, have more than 30 pounds
to lose and have weight related medical conditions such as; diabetes
and/or high blood pressure we will most likely recommend our weight
loss program because we want you to get the weight off as soon as
possible and help you maintain your new weights. Our Take Shape
for Life Weight Loss Program will help you lose more weight and
get off your medications in a shorter period of time with out sacrificing
your health than traditional weight loss.
