Ten Ways a Nutritionist Can Change Your Life

1. Meal planning and preparation are difficult and time-consuming.  A nutritionist can provide tips, tricks, and techniques to make this process easier and more efficient.
   
   
2. Understanding diets and food restrictions is hard.  There is so much information just on the Internet it’s easy to lose your way.  A nutritionist is trained to design a program for you as an individual based on what you have going on in your own body.  We are all different; there is no one diet that works for everyone.
   
   
3. Learning to read labels is sometimes like learning a new language.  When you walk into the grocery store, you may not be prepared to decipher what’s healthy and what's not just by reading an ingredient list.  Food additives, sugars, and other unhealthy compounds can be difficult to detect in many products.  A nutritionist can explain what to look for during a grocery store walkabout with you.
   
   
4. Many people have only a limited range of cooking skills.  With the guidance of a nutritionist, you may find that foods you thought you hated can be made much tastier simply by learning new ways to prepare them.  
   
   
5. Nutritionists are trained to prepare meal plans incorporating both macro and micronutrients.  We know how to check the level of crucial nutrients that your body must have.  We can also help you find new food sources to supply those nutrients.  Among other things, this includes calculating the proper amount of protein, fat, and carbohydrates you need based on your lifestyle.
   
   
6. Support.  All of us can benefit from a little support now and then.
   
   
7. Diets are not just for weight loss; they truly are the key to good health.  Most people don’t realize that nutrition can have profound effects throughout the body and brain.  Gut problems, depression, skin issues, mood disorders, brain fog, poor sleep can all be associated with an inadequate diet.  Nutritionists are trained to help get to the root of the problem and devise changes to help you live a healthier, happier life.
   
   
8. Everyone's body is different.  A nutritionist can help you observe, understand, and address what your body is trying to tell you about the dietary deficiencies it’s experiencing.
   
   
9. Fad diets can be extremely detrimental to your health.  A nutritionist can show you how to implement healthy changes that last a lifetime.
   
   
10. Vitamin and mineral needs and assimilation vary significantly from person to person.  Determining the correct doses can be difficult to do on your own.  A nutritionist has the knowledge to help you zero in on suitable dosages for your body.
