WHAT TO EXPECT
Complementary consultations are offered to provide both you and our Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, Cary Cuevas, an opportunity to discuss your health concerns and goals, what you kind of support you're looking for when working with a dietitian and ask any questions you have.
​
​Once you book your free 25-minute consultation online you will receive a confirmation email. If you schedule a phone consultation you will receive a confirmation email and Cary will call you at your scheduled time. If you schedule a virtual consultation, you will receive a confirmation email with a link for a Zoom meeting at the designated time. If you are unable to make it to your consultation, please reschedule or cancel as soon as possible.
​
During the consultation Cary will share with you a brief overview of her career and experiences as a dietitian. Most of the time will be spent discussing your health and wellness goals and what kind of support you're looking for from a dietitian. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. The goal of the consultation is to make sure you and Cary are a good fit for working together to achieve your goals. If you decide that another dietitian is a better fit for you, we encourage you to make the decision that’s best for you. Our only goal is for you to achieve your goals!
​
If we choose to move forward, we will schedule your first session during the consultation. You will receive an email through our HIPAA approved web-based Health Portal called Healthie to create an account. Once you create an account, the portal will prompt you to complete standard HIPAA forms including a Privacy Practice Notification and Consent for Telehealth, there will also be a form to gather health insurance information (if applicable) and a health history questionnaire. We use this secure, HIPAA approved web-based platform for our medical records and online nutrition counseling sessions.​
​
Cary has over 16 years of experience working with people in both individual and group settings. Everyone's health and wellness journey are different and depends on your starting point and the time you're willing to invest in yourself. We want to make sure you are provided with the best guidance and support possible, while keeping goals realistic and attainable. Most permanent lifestyle changes take 6-12 months to achieve and requires a life-long commitment to the behavior changes made. ​We have found that most people are have the best success when they commit to 10-15 nutrition counseling sessions in the first 4-6 months. From there, less frequent sessions can be scheduled as need arises.
​
We use evidence-based guidelines to help determine your nutrition needs but have found not everyone fits standard expectations for estimated energy needs. It should be expected that some adjustments to nutrition recommendations and suggestions will need to be made to assure you are as successful as possible transforming your health and wellness.
