What are the benefits of nutritional counseling?

Poor nutrition can increase your risk for obesity and make you susceptible to diabetes, certain types of cancer, and other chronic health complications. Poor nutrition can also zap your energy levels and negatively affect your mental health.

The nutritional counseling services available at Metro Best Health Services improve your overall wellness in several ways. Eating nutritious meals and snacks makes it easier to maintain a healthy body weight and also:

• Improves your energy levels
• Supports healthy weight loss
• Regulates your blood sugar levels
• Manages and prevents chronic diseases
• Sharpens concentration and memory

Through nutritional counseling, you learn how to plan healthy meals to ensure your body has what it needs to function at peak levels. You also gain insight into incorporating better eating habits into your daily routine so you can make lifelong changes supporting your health.

What can I expect during a nutritional counseling appointment?

During your initial nutritional counseling appointment at Metro Best Health Services, Milca, an experienced health coach, reviews your personal and family medical history and discusses your current health needs. It’s helpful if you can provide her with as much detail as possible about your diet and wellness goals.

Milca draws a blood sample and checks 36 blood markers that help identify nutritional deficiencies. This information helps her design your Metabolic Balance plan, a unique nutrition plan that works in four phases: preparation, strict conversion, relaxed conversion, and maintenance.

Nutritional counseling also includes tips for making better food choices by reading product labels. Milca can help you establish the diet changes you want to make and set goals to focus on. She also works with you to design meal plans based on your budget, food preferences, and other factors.
