Food and nutrition history will be discussed, evaluation of food journals and other information gathering tools.
We will spend time gathering information on lifestyle issues such as career, energy levels, exercise, medical conditions and other health concerns within you and your family.
We will discuss food knowledge and cooking capabilities; creative and fun questionnaires on food preferences will be used.
An open dialogue on the obstacles to change, willingness for change, coping with challenges and discovering the best options for success.
Together we will come up with a clear and concise individualized plan to take you through to our next meeting.
An in-depth discussion on culinary and food knowledge will take place while I gather information on family meals, snacks, food likes and dislikes, and who is in charge of the kitchen.
I will look through your cabinets and pantry, evaluate your cooking utensils and equipment, discuss pantry lists, any kitchen equipment you might need, meal planning and resources and where to buy the best ingredients.
Now that you have learned that healthier food choices are easier to make when a pantry is stocked with the most nutritious foods and proper equipment, we will put this talk into practice.
Learn how to read a food label and quickly evaluate what is in a food and if it is a healthy choice or not.
Learn about new, healthful foods and make a detailed shopping list for your pantry.
Get educated on local, organic, sustainable, natural and whole foods - what they are and why they might be important for you and your family.
Follow-up Sessions are a chance to reevaluate goals and obstacles, track successes and discuss any other issues that have come up since our last meeting.

A 2-hour family-focused food and nutrition evaluation.
A 1½ hour kitchen and pantry consultation.
