Follow-Up Visits
|
45-60 min

Approximately two weeks after your initial nutritional evaluation, Susan meets with you to discuss what worked for you, to reprioritze your goals, to review the results of the computerized diet analysis and laboratory tests (if available from your physician) and to offer additional recommendations. Keep in mind that making changes to your diet and lifestyle can take time, and relapses are a frustrating fact of life! Susan encourages her clients to schedule office visits as needed for support and new ideas. Susan also knows that sticking to any health program for a whole year (not to mention a lifetime) is very difficult. So, count on a follow-up visit six months into your program to help keep up the momentum.
