In-Home Nutrition Services
Whether you goal is to eat better, lose weight or to follow recommended dietary changes given to you by your physician, Nutrition Advantage helps you every step of the way.
Why Invest in Nutrition?
Because you deserve it, and because you can't afford not to.
Your health is indeed your wealth!
Unfortunately, since 1990, the United States has been in the grips of a twin epidemic, obesity and diabetes (Obesity, 2006). Presently, the majority of U.S. adults are overweight (>56%) and approximately 20% are obese. Obesity is related to such chronic diseases as heart disease/stroke, diabetes, and arthritis to name a few. Currently, 7.3% of U.S. adults have diabetes (see Figure 1 below):
The good news is this - 70% of your health is in your control through diet, exercise and other health habits. You can change the direction you are going.
Nutrition Education for You and Your Family
Counseling services are available for individuals, families and small groups. Perhaps you want to have a group of family or friends get together to share in the cost. This is a great way to connect, find support, and have fun while you are putting your health first.
You decide what you want to learn by sharing your nutrition concerns in advance by completing a simple survey. Perhaps you want practical advice about how to lower your cholesterol, information on sodium, diabetes, healthy snacking or eating out. Or perhaps your interest is weight control or sports nutrition. Whatever your preference, we can customize the class to taylor your needs.
Sessions last one hour and for an additional fee, cooking demos can also be incorporated in your training. Click here to obtain pricing information Contact Us.
Personal Counseling So You Feel Your Best!
We know that one size does not fit all when it comes to nutrition. Nutrition Advantage takes the time to get to know YOU; to know your likes/dislikes, and your goals.
There are no judgements about where you are at with your nutrition journey. The important thing is that you have made a choice to change and we are here to help, every step of the way. Counseling provides you and your family with support, empathy, encouragement, and motivation.
We realize you look out for not only yourself, but for your family. If you have an elderly family member that needs one-on-one services in their home, we can work with you to help ensure they are getting the best nutrition, while still living independently.
Cooking Demos: Fun for Everyone!
Nutrition is about food and food preparation. Learning how to modify your favorite recipes so they fit into your healthy eating plan is easy and fun. You share the recipes you want to have updated and Nutrition Advantage makes appropriate substitutions and provides you with the recipe. We also come to your home to show you how to prepare some of your favorite dishes or to discuss healthy cooking techniques.
This is especially fun when done in a group!
Our philosophy is simple: We focus on Prevention; Not Perfection.
