Will we also discuss movement and activity, not just nutrition?
Yes! Your dietitian will hit on all components of living a healthy lifestyle. They will assist with pre/post workout nutrition and offer recommendations to integrate more movement into your day.
Please note that our dietitians are not personal trainers and will not provide you with specific workout plans.
Will I get a meal plan every week? Will my dietitian send me recipes?
During your kick-off call with your dietitian, you will receive your meal planning guide. You will not get a meal plan every week, but you can certainly use your sessions with your dietitian to create a weekly meal plan.
We also have a member portal with a recipe database that you'll have access to during your program.
Here's a sneak peek!
How will my dietitian help me reach my goals?
Your program is personalized to you. Your dietitian compiles information from your consultation and intake forms as well as medical history and uses this information to determine the best strategies to implement to help you reach your goals.
With our structured support, you’ll work at the pace you need to help you regain your confidence and create life-changing results.

What Our Clients Are Saying
How do you measure progress and/or success?
There are many markers of progress, including non-scale victories. We promise confidence overall in making decisions that will affect your WHOLE-health. You can measure your progress by stepping on a scale, how your clothes fit, your mental health/clarity and energy levels.
It's important to be flexible and also to build sustainable habits slowly over time. Your dietitian isn't here to give you a quick fix, but to educate you along the way so you can feel confident in your lifestyle choices.
What if it doesn't work?
There's a reason why you're here! Over the years, multiple studies have shown that quick-fix diets are not sustainable. We have many clients come to us after yo-yo dieting with no success.
We are here to find a path that works for you - that you can stick with. Our programs have worked for over 5,000 people and counting, and we can't wait to support you in this journey.
