Our CARES Philosophy
Counseling
Counseling is the core of North Jersey Nutrition. In order to counsel and counsel effectively, we build a relationship with each and every one of our clients which allows us to understand what drives our client's behaviors and what will motivate them to make change. No two people are alike; therefore, all nutrition strategies are tailored to the individual - taking into respect their goals, current habits, and lifestyle.
Achieve
Everyone at North Jersey Nutrition wants you to achieve your goals. We act as a team. We are professionals. We respect and appreciate that you are trusting us to help you reach your personal best. As your team, we are here to help you in any way that we can. Whether as your dietitian, your trainer, your physician or lifestyle coordinator, we are here to help, facilitate and guide you as you reach your goals and thereafter.
Relationship
Building a trusting and understanding relationship with us will help change to occur. Your team will provide you with the education and guidance that is necessary to achieve your goals. At North Jersey Nutrition we realize that everyone has different needs and lifestyles, and we make it our responsibility to understand the lifestyle of each and every one of our clients - allowing us to not only help achieve their goals but to maintain them for a lifetime. We understand that everyone has different goals and values so we will work with you to formulate realistic and achievable goals through nutrition and lifestyle counseling.
Educate
We provide an education that empowers our clients to make behavioral changes. The psychological transformation helps ensure success in reaching long-term personal and health goals. Healthy lifestyle habits are examined in order to change the diet mind-set that leads to (re-occurring) poor self-esteem. These behavior changes are specific objectives that lead to the overall goals.
Support
Your team at North Jersey Nutrition will provide you with the support and encouragement necessary to allow change and help you achieve the desired result. Necessary changes take time to become habit. In order to make new habits, one needs to see the benefit and needs to find the behavior reasonable, pleasant and maintainable. Your team at North Jersey Nutrition will provide you the support in order to do so.
COUNSELING
SPECIALIZING IN THE CARE AND TREATMENT OF:
WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
This is designed to help you make healthy changes in your daily routine. Whatever your current diet is, I will carefully evaluate each client and formulate a personalized plan based on your specific needs. I counsel on much more than solely diet analysis and modification. As a team, we work together to identify certain behaviors in order for you to feel empowered to create new, healthier habits that will improve your overall wellness. So if Weight Loss Counseling is what you’re looking for, schedule a session today.
GASTROINTESTINAL ISSUES
The digestive tract is much more than simply a food processing system. The gut plays an important role in the interaction between diet and immunity. A poorly functioning gut can not only be uncomfortable it can also have serious impact on physiological function. In some cases the food we eat can either cause gastrointestinal disorders, or further aggravate a gastro disorder. Either way, simply changing your diet can help a lot! By performing a simple in-office test, we can measure food sensitivities to help identify specific food triggers to help control discomfort.
FOOD ALLERGY MANAGEMENT
I provide food allergy and/or sensitivity management with comprehensive plans that are catered to each individual’s needs. This specialized service puts individuals on the right track to healthy eating and living, understanding not only how to avoid allergens but how to find healthy substitutes. Get in touch today and start taking control of your life with these great tools and techniques.
