Nutrition Counseling
Nutrition counseling provides personalized guidance to individuals who are at nutritional risk because of their health or nutritional history, dietary intake, chronic illness, or medication use. Nutrition programs can find resources and best practices for creating a supportive counseling process where goals and priorities are set, and the individual takes responsibility for self-care.
