Nutrition Counseling
Nutrition counseling is a two-way interaction through which a health professional with special training in nutrition helps people make healthy food choices and form healthy eating habits. The health professional can interpret the results of nutrition assessment, identify individual nutrition needs and goals, discuss ways to meet those goals, and agree on next steps. Nutrition counseling aims to help clients understand important information about their health and focuses on practical actions to address nutrition needs, as well as the benefits of behavior change. The health professional provides information, educational materials, support, and follow-up to help the individual make and maintain the needed dietary changes.
