Nutritional Coaching

Nutritionists are experts in food and nutrition. They help their clients choose beneficial food, plan menus, and advise them on the health effects of certain foods.

What does a nutritionist do?

During an initial consultation, a nutritionist assesses a client’s current dietary habits and needs. They follow up with resources on healthy eating habits, provide weekly menus, and write reports to document a client’s progress. Often they provide these services to groups, such as schools or businesses, by speaking about good nutrition and preventing health problems through proper foods.

Nutritionists often work closely with individuals with medical issues, such as those with diabetes or undergoing chemotherapy. They help them find the foods for their best possible health.

If your diet is a main contributing factor to your disease, a nutritionist may even be able to help lessen the severity by developing a healthy relationship with food. A good nutritionist will help you figure out what to eat and sustain a good relationship with your diet.

By working with a nutritionist, you stay focused on your goals by receiving regular encouragement and motivation. Nutritionists are also a resource for discussing the pros and cons of specific diets and food trends and their impact on your unique health. Depending on education level or licensure, a nutritionist may test for specific food allergies or autoimmune disorders like celiac disease (gluten intolerance).

Nutritionists sometimes work as self-employed entrepreneurs or in hospital settings, schools, and various holistic and alternative medicine environments, depending on their education level. Nutritionists are in high demand in food and health-related businesses.

What is nutrition?

Nutrition is about eating a healthy and balanced diet. The food and drinks you consume provide you with the energy and nutrients you need to be healthy. Understanding nutrition in these terms makes it easier to make better food choices.

Educating people on health is an important job in today’s society, especially in the United States, where obesity has reached an all-time high.
