Nutritional Consultants Specialist

What is a nutritional consultant?

A nutritional consultant is a health professional who specializes in helping you eat the most nutritious diet, tailored to any medical problem or health condition you’re experiencing.

Nutritional consultants are becoming increasingly valued as the importance of a healthy diet becomes clearer. Many serious health problems are linked directly to what you eat. For example, research suggests Type 2 diabetes can develop when you gain weight because of a poor diet and lack of exercise.

Many of the diseases that can cause life-threatening conditions such as stroke and heart attacks are due to a buildup of fatty deposits called plaque in your blood vessels. These fatty deposits come from an excess of fats and cholesterol in your diet.

Nutritional consultants offer dietary advice and help you understand the effect food has on your body. They play a vital role in improving your health and helping you recover after being sick.

What does a nutritional consultant do?

Your nutritional consultant at PANDA Neurology & Atlanta Headache Specialists does far more than give you advice about a healthy diet. They have specialist knowledge of the way that everything in your diet affects your body and mind.

Your nutrition consultant works with you to create meal plans that safely and effectively help you lose excess weight and keep it off long-term. Your diet plan also promotes healthy metabolism and boosts your immune system.

What happens when I see the nutritional consultant?

Your nutritional consultant at PANDA Neurology & Atlanta Headache Specialists takes time to review your medical history and discuss any current health problems.

They ask you about your diet and your meal tendencies — for example, do you skip breakfast but eat late at night? Having all this information ensures they‘re able to help, so it’s important to be honest.

Your nutritional consultant uses all the information to create a diet plan designed to optimize your health. They spend time discussing why eating particular foods are so important for you. Your meal plans are flexible, so your nutritional consultant can work any specific likes or dislikes you have into your diet.

The nutritional consultants at PANDA Neurology & Atlanta Headache Specialists have specialized expertise in treating children and young people, who may have very set ideas about what they will and won’t eat. If your child is a fussy eater, the nutritional consultant can find ways to make sure they’re getting the nutrition they need.
