We can design a program is  comprehensive for your fitness and weight loss needs with the tools and support to help you lose weight, make lifestyle changes and reshape your body.

I Have Tried to Eat Healthy in the Past and Failed, Is there help?

Yes. There are many reasons you eat the way you do, some of which are not because you don’t know what to eat and what to avoid. You may eat due to:

• Cravings
• Emotional fluctuations
• Boredom
• Habit

Nutritional programs that don’t address the behavioral aspect of eating aren’t going to help you change your behaviors, which results in failure and even lower self-esteem in some cases.

Healthy Eating to Manage Diabetes

Eating right and staying healthy are important parts of controlling diabetes. By maintaining a healthy weight with exercise and proper diet, your blood sugar levels can be better managed and you can prevent many of the long-term problems associated with diabetes.

According to the American Diabetes Association, 8.3% of the United States population has been diagnosed with Diabetes. This does not include the additional 79 million people found to be “pre-diabetic” and likely to develop diabetes in the future. Diabetes is the leading contributing factor in mortality and other chronic health issues such as kidney disease, heart disease and stroke

Nutritional therapy is the cornerstone of diabetes management – especially when combined with a supervised physical fitness regimen. Our staff has extensive experience with diabetes management. We work with patients individually to provide personal care and education. This individualized care includes:

• A Comprehensive Nutrition Assessment – A complete hour-long nutrition and lifestyle assessment at the first appointment is followed by the development of a completely personalized nutrition care plan specific to each client’s nutritional needs and lifestyle.
• One-on-One Education – Our clients learn how to properly monitor, medicate, and manage their diabetes. The dietitians review the physiology of diabetes, explain how to interpret self blood glucose monitoring results, and educate patients about appropriate dietary adjustments. Our diabetes educators also review how to identify the symptoms of dangerously low or elevated blood glucose levels and take appropriate action for treatment.
• Ongoing Support – Diabetes is a chronic condition that should be managed carefully. Your dietitian will be your health advocate – helping you to stay on track for proper diabetes management and, if necessary, weight loss. If you’re struggling to manage your diabetes the nutrition team provides tips and tricks for helping clients incorporate diabetes self care guidelines into their personal, recreational and professional lives.

Whether you’re a newly diagnosed diabetic or a new circumstance has made it difficult for you to manage diabetes, our experts can help. The registered dietitians and nutritionists have the specialized training and experience in helping diabetic patients live healthy and active lives. Our team designs personalized nutrition plans to help manage blood sugar, provides education on how to live with a chronic disease,  and offers group nutritional counseling sessions led by a registered dietitian.
