Nutrition Counseling
Food is one of the most basic resources the human body uses for growth and energy, tied intricately to well-being. Not only can diet affect health, but certain conditions can affect how the body processes food. Nutrition is the study of this complex interaction, and when patients seek the advice of an expert to help them manage food in their life, it is called nutrition counseling.
At the most basic level, nutrition counseling can be simply a talk with a family physician. Doctors receive training in nutrition as part of their education, and they are generally qualified to make recommendations about diet for their patients. Some doctors take a professional interest in nutrition and become experts by taking extra classes or studying nutrition in their practice. In general, however, complex nutrition guidance will be referred to a nutrition specialist, generally a dietitian.
Registered dietitians are nutrition experts that have passed specific higher education, accreditation, and internship requirements. They may work in hospitals, nursing facilities, or private practices to provide nutrition therapy and advise patients about their health and diet. Like dietitians, nutritionists also work to counsel patients about food and health. Some nutritionists have degrees in nutrition or food science, but the title 'nutritionist' is not protected by law. In the United States, anyone is allowed to call themselves a nutritionist, regardless of their education level.
Nutrition counseling can be useful for anyone who is looking to get to a healthy weight, manage a chronic illness through diet, or simply lead a healthier lifestyle. Some examples of issues that benefit from nutrition counseling include:
During a nutrition counseling appointment, the provider -- doctor, nutritionist, or dietitian -- typically will look over a the patient's medical history and talk to them about their current diet, their goals, what kinds of food they like, and any problems that they are currently struggling with in their health or diet. Then the specialist will help the patient set food goals and create a customized plan to help them meet their nutritional needs. Nutrition specialists may also offer classes, workshops, cooking demonstrations, and more. Their role is not to lecture the patient about what one should be eating, but to offer education and resources to make eating healthy foods easier.

Excellent service! I don't think I've ever had a more informative Dietitian, she took her time and addressed every last one of my concerns
Mrs Wilkinson was very professional, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable. She offered many excellent suggestions and resources. Very helpful and non-judgmental
I've been seeing Dr Wilkinson for a year. She is the only specialist in nutrition that provided me, after decades of dealing with uncontrolled diabetes, a diabetic education that improved the quality of my life. i am out of Metformin, reduced 37 lb. Very impressed.
I had a pleasure of meeting her 2 years ago when I contacted her for my dislipidemia, high blood pressure and weight management issues. Mrs Eugenia is the utmost professional yet she has a touching compassion and dedication to her clients. I am thrilled to be able to say that I worked with her.
I am so surprised with the "anonymous” comment above. I have a strong medical family history of kidney and diabetes issues. Because my father and brother are dialyzed, 5 years ago I knew that I was next. I researched and changed my eating habits to avoid or delay my dialysis, but nothing seemed to stop the passage of time. Three years ago my nephrologist told me that it was my time, that I could not delay it. That's when I went to Dr. Wilkinson, who taught me how to measure my proteins intake, control phosphorus/potassium, and diabetes. Now, my sugar is totally controlled without medication and my kidneys work well resulting in NO DIALYSIS yet. I am grateful to this therapist for delaying my onset of dialysis. Regarding the waiting time ... I usually wait 10 to 15 minutes, but for my nephrologist and Endo doctor I usually wait 1 to 2 hours so I would never ever complain about that with Mrs. Wilkinson!
I scheduled 3 weeks ahead for a first meeting and they failed to book the appointment in their system and never contacted me. I left work early and drove 45 minutes to wait 30 minutes only to find out I had no appointment. Poor/terrible experience. I wouldn't waste my time with them.
