Enhance Your Nutrition Counseling
This powerful set of techniques helps you stick to your health program. It focuses on all of you, not just the food you eat, and you can customize it to what will serve you best.
Patients often speed up the pace of their wellness journey by adding these practices to their strategy. Among these are goal-setting, fitness counseling, sleep hygiene, and stress management.
Health coaching is our most holistic form of nutrition counseling. Add it to your program for comprehensive support.
Goal Setting And Accountability As A Tool For Better Health
Goal-setting has clear benefits, but achieving those goals can be difficult and discouraging. Without actionable steps or accountability, your goals may remain unchanged year after year. We want to help you improve your quality of life and create lasting change in the ways that matter most to you.
We focus on:
- Creating realistic expectations, steps, and timelines for change
- Getting clear on your priorities
- Tracking your health progress with the unpredictability of life in mind
- Overcoming any obstacles
- Celebrating your accomplishments
- Better managing any chronic conditions
Make Exercise Work For You
You know that exercise is key to weight loss and a strong body. But you’ve been avoiding it for what feels like ages. Caught in a loop of guilt, being unsure of how to start, and a lack of equipment, you turn to a professional for guidance.
Just as Happy Gut Nutrition doesn’t recommend a restriction-based diet, we also do not use guilt as a motivator in counseling.
Are you new to all things exercise? No problem.
Are you looking to find a fresh way to stay fit? We can help.
Not sure if your medical condition allows for all types of exercise? We will help you find one that works for you.
Because fitness counseling meets you where you’re at.
If you choose, this service can pair with a Happy Gut Nutrition-endorsed fitness coach. Fitness coaches can provide in-person support that a dietitian cannot via telehealth. They are experts in technical guidance and an added accountability for this new chapter.
Create Healthy Sleep Habits To Support Your Body
Adequate sleep hygiene is an important way to give your body the care it needs because sleep and routine impact many systems of the body. Regulating the nervous system, fasting, detoxing, weight loss, and cell repair and creation are a short list of affected processes.
Changes to your sleep can make it easier or harder to reach your health goals.
It can be effortless to stay up too late, lose track of whether you have slept enough this week, or skip winding down for bed for another episode of thrilling TV.
In the session, we lay out:
- How to Stay Disciplined
- When to Give Yourself Grace
- Effective Steps to Maintain a Sleep Regimen
Our support is education-based and judgment-free. Aiming only to make you more aware of what can help or hinder your health goals and support you wherever you’re at.
Know what it’s like to look forward to your bedtime routine by scheduling a consultation.
Stress Management
Stress can absolutely have a negative effect on overall health as well as dietary choices. Some of us choose to eat unhealthy food as a response to stress and anxiety while others are unable to eat at all. Both directions negatively impact nutrition and health and talking about stress with a Registered Dietitian is a good way to strategize better dietary behavior around these situations.
Stress itself affects:
- Weight
- Nutrient Absorption
- Maintaining Energy Levels
- Mood
- Discipline
In our coaching sessions, you can learn about how stress affects your body and practical ways to cope with and prevent it (including eating certain foods).
It’s a powerful way to optimize the effort you’re putting in in other areas of your health and an important pillar of health coaching.
