What can I expect during my first consultation? Initial consultations are typically 60 minutes. During your initial session, we’ll review your eating habits and lifestyle factors including social life, work hours, family responsibilities, exercise, and health history (i.e. health conditions, medications). Then assist you in setting realistic long-term and short-term goals.. We finish the appointment with an individualized nutrition plan to get you closer to your goals. Your second appointment will be scheduled at the end of the session and is typically 4-6 weeks out or sooner.

Why do I need to provide a credit card?

Once your appointment has been confirmed, we save the time slot specifically to provide nutrition counseling for you. Therefore, in order to respect our provider's time, we ask for a credit card on file due to our NO-Show Policy. If you provide no notice and completely fail to show up to a scheduled appointment, our practice will charge $50. If you need to reschedule your appointment, please call 484-222-0224 or email us at [email protected] 24 hours prior to your appointment.
