Nutrition Counseling FAQs

Who can benefit from nutrition counseling?
Nutrition counseling is not limited to any specific group. It can potentially be a huge benefit to the overall health of:

  • Patients with chronic health conditions like diabetes
  • Athletes aiming to up their performance
  • Patients needing help with weight management
  • Patients with food allergies or intolerances
  • Patients who struggle with cravings or energy
  • Patients looking to improve their overall health and well-being

What can I expect from nutrition counseling?
Moriah Riggins will assess your child’s eating habits, health concerns and illnesses, then discuss your child’s goals. She’ll take all of that information and create a personalized plan, then gauge the progress and make any needed adjustments during follow-up sessions.

Is nutrition counseling about strict food rules?
No, creating rigid rules around food isn’t very effective. Good nutrition counseling is about creating realistic plans and building supportive habits that fit the child’s needs and the family’s lifestyle.

Can nutrition counseling help eating habits during the school day?
Yes, Moriah can offer guidance around breakfast, lunches, snacks, hydration, and routines that fit a child’s school-day schedule.

Can nutrition counseling help my picky eater?
Nutrition counseling can help families better understand selective eating patterns and build a realistic plan for improving variety over time instead of repeating the same frustrating mealtime cycle.
