What to Expect

Individual Medical Nutrition Therapy Sessions

The specific information you will receive depends on what nutrition questions you have.

Dianne Van Treeck, MS, RD, CDE can address any other questions you may have. Her counseling philosophy is that motivation to create a healthy diet can only occur through an individualized, collaborative approach. You will not receive a strict diet, judgment about your food choices or unrealistic advice. Your Personal Eating and Exercise Plan will take into consideration your food preferences, daily schedule, and health goals.
