Nutrition Counselors - San Diego

What can nutritional counseling do for you?

Food is critical to all aspects of our lives. It brings us joy, peace and comfort. When confronted with the need to change our food choices it becomes nearly impossible. How do you stop the desire for those sweet or salty foods you desperately crave? Working with a nutritionist provides help in discovering what causes the cravings and how to permanently remove the cravings from your life.

Nutritional counseling is a combination of three parts.

1. Testing
2. Education - Coaching
3. Individualized Plan you are able to accomplish.

Some of the conditions which respond well to nutrition intervention:

Food as Medicine

“Let your food be your medicine, and your medicine be your food.”

Obtaining or maintaining good health begins from the ground up. We can only be as healthy as what we choose to water and feed our body.

Supplements vs. Food

Do we really need to choose?

The USDA has discovered that at least 75% of the US population does not meet the Recommended Daily Allowances for vitamins and minerals on a daily basis. And the position of the American Medical Association is every person should be taking a Multivitamin daily.

We know that supplements alone will never meet our nutritional needs as whole foods have many nutrients which have not been discovered. We also know that during times of illness the need for certain nutrients increase. This is where it is important to discover your individual needs based on nutrition/medical history and genetics.

When diet, supplements and physical activity are partnered your personal best results can be achieved.

• Develop a comprehensive nutrition profile; including nutrition lifestyle goals. The nutrition professional assists an individual in developing a comprehensive, confidential nutritional analysis. Specialized training enables the nutrition professional to ask pertinent questions necessary for defining personal health goals and providing customized nutrition programs.


• Analyze current nutritional status and lifestyle behavior patterns. There are many aspects involved in an individual’s nutritional status. Analysis of these components in conjunction with personal objectives, current lifestyle, and environmental factors by a trained nutrition professional provides a major benefit towards the achievement of an individual’s health goals.


• Identify weaknesses and recommend improvement. The nutrition professional objective is to help design a strategy for overcoming the weaknesses in a person’s present health program and to provide specific recommendations to assist in the achievement of improved health objectives.


• Coordinate the implementation of your plan. Any nutritional program, no matter how impressive or well-designed, is worthless unless it is implemented. The true talent of the nutrition professional is seeing that all the elements of your program are put into effect and successfully carried out.
