How to Get Started?
Questions and Answers
Q: I want to lose some weight and lower my blood sugar, but also have low iron. Which package should I choose?
A: I’d recommend booking the Comprehensive Dietary Package with the Increasing Iron Status from Food add-on. This will give you an individual Meal Plan to achieve a healthy weight along with targeted education on maximizing iron intake and timing meals to prevent absorption issues.
Q: I am going into menopause, but am also having problems with hypothyroidism. Which package should I choose?
A: I would recommend taking the Menopause Management Package and adding the Key Nutrients for Thyroid Health session. This will provide you with a full assessment, custom Meal Plan, nutrition education and implementation coaching, and follow-up support, plus focused instruction on optimizing conversion of inactive thyroid hormone (free T4) to active thyroid hormone (free T3).
Q: I have both low iron and constipation and am worried about getting more constipated taking iron supplements. What do you recommend?
A: I’d recommend taking an Initial Consultation first. We’ll meet to review your needs and your iron lab results, and from there I can recommend the best package and help you choose the right add-on session.
