What is dietary consultation

Dietary consultation is a treatment plan that a doctor has recommended or that the patient has initiated themselves. The initial consultation, regardless of whether it takes place over the phone, via video chat, or in person, will last between 45 and 1 hour. Your dietician would ask you questions for learning more about you and why you’re there for an initial consultation.

You may want to alter your diet because of a desire to improve your health, because of a food allergy or digestive issue, or because of a medical condition related to your diet, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or high blood cholesterol.

It’s important to note that everyone who consults a nutritionist does so for their own unique reasons. Vesta Elder Care dietitian’s role is to help you examine your requirements and establish priorities in a collaborative effort.

In this eating habits are evaluated, dietary care goals are negotiated, a plan is developed, and the client’s progress is monitored with the intention of educating, preventing, or treating.
