Nutrition Has Become Confusing- -You're Ready to Feel Better and Have More Energy

Aspects of the program likely are. Since individual plans vary you'll have to contact your insurance company. You can get more information about using your insurance by going to: startfuelingbetter.com/insurance.

We're also able to provide you with a superbill if your insurance company states it is needed in order for you to receive compensation from them.

This varies, and can be a number of things. Some of the things it may include: education (around food and other topics), discussing challenges/barriers you may be experiencing, how to fit things into your life, how to make what we're discussing sustainable, quick meals and snacks, body image, energy, mood, sleep, stress, hydration, movement/physical activity, digestive concerns.

I like to let you take the lead (as long as you want to) and go where you want to go. I am there to help guide the conversation based on what you're looking to achieve, and provide feedback when appropriate. If you're not sure what you want to talk about, I'll always be prepared with my own ideas of what we can talk about.

Weight changes may or may not occur as a result of working together. Our focus is on developing health-promoting behaviors that help you feel your best, and are sustainable and realistic. Our approach is centered around improving your relationship with food, body and movement. Pursuing weight loss is not a primary goal.

Note: If you've tried losing weight in the past or are currently trying to lose weight and you're here now considering this program - think about this - has any weight loss program you've done thus far worked long term for you? I'm guessing no. That's why you're here now considering this program.

Keep focusing on weight loss and keep spinning your wheels. You've got to change your focus.

This program is about long term results. About decreasing stress around food. About providing you with tools that work. About making nutritious eating easier and more realistic for your life. About getting you feeling better inside and out. And living a happier life. This stuff has to come first.

There are no refunds offered on products or services.

In this program you definitely get what you put in. This is a commitment you are making to yourself, your health, and your happiness.

I show up for you with my education, experience, and resources that enable you to achieve your goals.

If you have any issues or concerns, please reach out to me. That's why you have me and that's what I'm here for. I genuinely want you to succeed. We will work together to get you through whatever issues you are having.

You can expect to become competent and confident when it comes to food and nutrition. You'll know what to eat, and when to eat it. You will also understand nutrition, and how to feel better physically, mentally and emotionally. Increased energy and decreased stress.

All registered dietitians can be called nutritionists, but not all nutritionists can be called registered dietitians.

To be a registered dietitian/registered dietitian nutritionist you must meet specific requirements. This includes a bachelors degree in a specific area, a supervised internship, passing a national board exam, earning continuing education credits as long as you practice, and maintaining the RD/RDN credential.

Nutritionists (and coaches) often don't have specific education requirements they must meet or maintain. Sometimes no education is required to go by the title "nutritionist" or "coach" in order to work with clients.

This is different in a number of ways.

Here are a few:

• Sustainability
  • So many approaches aren't sustainable.
    • Often times people can make them work for a period of time, but they're very hard to stick with longer term.
  • How this is different
    • We're going to figure out together how to fit things into your life. Not the other way around...forcing you and your life to fit into rules and rigidity that simply don't work long term.
• "Gentler" approach (speaking of rules and rigidity)
  • So many approaches are rigid and filled with rules.
    • They're not realistic.
    • They're hard to apply to various scenarios you may encounter (like going out to eat or eating at someone else's house).
    • They're often unnecessary, they're fads, and/or lack legitimacy when it comes to your actual health and needs.
  • How this is different
    • We're using nutrition science, thinking about your actual health (physical, emotional, mental) and what works for you and your life.
    • You're going to learn "the basics" (and more if you want) of what to get into your meals and snacks. (There aren't a bunch of stupid, difficult rules, and you don't have to stop eating your favorite foods.) You'll understand how to better fuel yourself, and you can apply it to various scenarios (at home or away).
    • We're going to go more "internal" as opposed to "external" and taking cues and clues from your body about your needs.
• Support and education
  • Many approaches you are alone, or maybe you have a "coach" sometimes.
    • Doing things alone can present a lot of challenges, and leave you with questions.
    • A lot of times "coaches" don't necessarily have much experience or education, if any.
    • Often times you aren't actually taught about nutrition. You're given some very specific rules to follow, but not given much additional context or information.
  • How this is different
    • You have me, and you're going to be given education.
    • You aren't on your own. If you join the Start Fueling Better Program, you have multiple ways to communicate with me, and I am involved as much as you want me to be.
    • There aren't a million people in this program. You aren't a "number" or random face I don't know. It's important to me to actually know my clients, and help them progress. That's what we'll do.
    • I'm here to help you implement the information into your life, hold your hand, listen, offer suggestions based on my years of experience, and provide accountability.
    • I have a lot of education, and I'm pretty good at what I do. The client testimonials (many of which are included within this website) speak for themselves.
    • Within the Start Fueling Better Program there are multiple opportunities to get a lot of knowledge, education and context in regard to nutrition and health related topics. The goal is that you understand and are able to apply information and concepts when needed. We're working me out of a job.
