Healthier Living With Dietitian Nutritional Counseling

By Ronald King


People are moved to live healthier by a number of different things. Though they can begin this journey in many ways, the first step for most is by making changes to their diet. Employing dietitian nutritional counseling may provide an individual with the information they need to make food choices that are conducive to reaching their specific goals.

Nutritionists and dietitians have been educated and certified to be experts in the areas of required nutrition and healthy dietary needs. They use this knowledge to help others improve their well being, enhance sports performance, control diseases and manage their weight. Clients can use this service to make adjustments in eating habits that will benefit them in the long term.

In many states, registration and licensing is required for one to practice this field. Positions of this type are frequently needed in hospitals, schools, nursing homes, clinics, assisted living facilities, and in government programs like WIC an SNAP. Services and assistance might be obtained through classroom settings, private offices, lecture halls and through a variety of virtual means.

Many clients still prefer the personalized attention and the opportunity to ask questions and receive thorough explanations that come with traditional individual consultations. A lot of companies seek to provide their employees with generalized guidance in this area by setting up group presentation for their benefit. Other people may wish to take extended courses so that they may absorb the information in a way that helps them retain it better.

This is an age of digital technology and many professionals in this field are utilizing the various options at their disposal to provide services. These avenues include methods such as using smart phones, tablets, computers and other wireless devices to sent emails, text messages, have interactive chats or video conferences. It is convenient access for both the provider and the client that allows for immediate contact and communication.

Many counselors have an area of specialization such as eating for disease control, athletic performance boosts, managing weight, or providing for the unique needs of pediatric or geriatric patients. Some are focused on education in specialty diets like those needed for a healthy and balanced vegetarian or vegan lifestyle, gluten sensitivities, or specific food allergies. They aim to help people learn to make wise choices for their personal circumstances.

To perform a thorough nutrition evaluation on a specific client, the counselor can use the data collected during a health assessment, one's medical history, and their current food habits. Combining all this information helps them devise a scientifically sound dietary strategy that is geared towards the patient's individual circumstances and needs. The approach might also include education on which items to avoid, the most appropriate times to eat, recipe development, menu planning, preparation tips and the effective use of portion control.

There are certain factors an interested person would be well advised to verify before setting an appointment as most practitioners tend to have their own unique way of delivering their advice. For best results, it is a good idea to look for those who specialize in the area of concern for which the individual is seeking help, and to make sure they utilize acceptable techniques. If desired, one may also wish to inquire as to whether or not the provider accepts insurance.
