How DO WE WORK TOGETHER?
I offer comprehensive, personalized nutrition therapy and functional, natural health consulting to help you with digestive health, immune heath, energy reset and hormone balance.
We begin with a New Client Intake Meeting, a comprehensive case review of your health history, current situation and goals. This meeting may be up to two hours.
We have Update Meetings every two or three weeks, often spaced out further as you make progress and feel better. Most meetings are one hour.
I will give you an Action Plan, Handouts and Educational, Explanatory Materials for your specific needs.
I offer Functional Analysis of Conventional Medical Lab Tests, looking for patterns that may indicate a growing health concern to identify, and optimal levels in your bloodwork instead of just what is flagged high or low.
I use specialty labs that offer Functional Health Testing for your specific needs.
I can offer Personalized Supplement Recommendations with discounted costs.
I offer prospective, new clients a complimentary 15-minute introductory call discuss your goals and my philosophy and structure for helping you achieve those goals. This is a compatibility check to see if we'll work well together. We dive into the specifics of your case in the New Client Intake Meeting.
Our New Client Intake Meeting is a comprehensive case review by phone or Zoom. We discuss your health history and factors leading up to your current situation. We establish goals and start creating a “big picture” action plan and attainable first steps to take, which we refine each time we meet. We will create an agreeable, immediate Action Plan for you at each subsequent meeting, which I’ll send as a document along with any needed supporting information afterwards. You are encouraged to take notes during our meeting. I can also record a Zoom meeting and send it to you. Please see FORMS page for instructions about how to fill out your New Client forms.
How do I schedule a MEETING?
You are welcome to call (303) 722-7698 or email info@deliciousnutritioushealth.com. I will respond as soon as possible between meetings. Please note that my office phone does not receive text messages.
After we schedule a New Client Intake Meeting, you'll be sent a detailed confirmation email with instructions about how to complete the New Client Intake Questionnaire and record your Food Journal. Kindly scroll down to the bottom of this page and read my Policies section so you understand how everything works including cancellation payment policies. All of the detailed instructions and forms you need are on my FORMS page here: FORMS page.
What is the structure of MEETINGS?
After your Intake meeting, I recommend Update meetings every 2-3 weeks, depending on your personal situation. Regular meetings provide accountability to help you stay on track. This allows us to adjust your plan based on how your body is responding. If we receive any test results and need to go over them, these are delivered and discussed during a scheduled meeting.
I believe in implementing small, attainable changes so that your plan is not overwhelming and you can successfully integrate new habits. We may meet more frequently as we are building your plan. As we progress, we may allow more time between meetings.
What happens at Update MEETINGS?
We keep you moving ahead as you integrate new habits into your daily life and monitor how your symptoms change. I provide education about how your body works, how it got to this place and how to rebalance it using therapeutic foods, nutrients, hydration, meal timing, fitness and lifestyle improvements. We discuss your action plan to determine what’s working and what’s not. We continue to customize your plan, and gather more info with testing as needed, until you reach your goals.
How many MEETINGS will I need?
Your progress depends on your goals and your body – the complexities of imbalances and how quickly your body responds. Some clients feel better soon, and, for others it takes many months or a year. Remember that your health challenges likely took years to develop, so unraveling and healing old problems can take time. This is why I am offering services that span months at a time, so that we strive for sustainable, successful outcomes.
What is your nutritional philosophy?
I recommend natural, fresh food that our bodies can use and recognize. I don’t recommend any one “diet” for everybody or anybody. Our needs vary by state of health, stage of life, season, climate and more. The building blocks of nutrition include balanced amounts of protein, fat and carbohydrate and the abundant vitamins, minerals and antioxidants contained with these foods. Highly valuable, whole-food carbs come from leafy green or colorful plants like veggies and fruits as well as some grains.
Clients come in having tried all various approaches such as a vegetarian or vegan diet, a Paleo diet, juicing, the Atkins diet, intermittent fasting, eating all organic vegetables, or trying various pre-packaged foods measured out in teeny tiny calorie counts and portions. (Hint…that approach is outdated!) There is no universally applicable set of food facts that will help everyone be well other than to eat real, clean food in quantities and combinations appropriate for each individual. That’s where I can help!
If you are seeking vibrant health and a healing menu for your health concerns, I’ll be asking you to avoid anything that robs you of more nutrition than it provides, such as junk food, processed food, fast food, artificial chemicals, flavors and dyes, diet soda, soda, alcohol, recreational drugs, refined sugar in excess, candy and highly refined carbs. It is reasonable to include high quality, partially prepared and convenient foods in a nutritious diet, but “play food” and toxic chemicals block healing.
Nutrition therapy works with healing foods and nutrients; this is my realm! I can help you find science-based root causes for health struggles as well as addictive relationships with foods, beverages or substances. I highly encourage you to seek counseling along with my help if you will struggle to comply with a clean menu. I will be glad to refer you to some of my trusted talk therapy, counseling and coaching resources!
What made you become Board Certified in Holistic nutrition®?
I always wanted to live a healthy life, but in my younger years, I had no idea what that meant. I felt poorly for years and recovered with much dedication and hard work. Read more about my journey to good health on the Meet Catherine page. I am excited to share all that I’ve learned, personally and professionally, so that my clients can feel their best again.
WhICH types of clients do you work with?
Most of my clients are busy, often stressed adults or students who are juggling work, school, family and self-care. My clients are smart, curious, and love learning about how their bodies work and how to achieve sustainable success! When I work with teenagers, I can explain how my health journey might have been smoother had I learned to eat well early on. I specialize in digestive problems, food allergies, sensitivities and intolerances, celiac disease and gluten disorders, immune & autoimmune system health, mold/mycotoxins clearance and boosting energy and vibrancy.
Weight loss is not one of my areas of specific focus, but digestive health struggles, food reactions, inflammation, toxicity and/or hormone imbalances are contributing to retention of weight, I can help you find what’s bothering your body. If weight loss is your primary goal, I may refer you to a trusted colleague.
I can refer potential clients who need help with prenatal or young pediatric nutrition, autism, Lyme disease, oncology, disordered eating, detailed genetic analysis and advanced geriatric concerns to trusted colleagues who specialize in these areas.
Inclusivity and Body Positivity: My practice is supportive and open to individuals of all shapes, sizes, appearances, abilities, backgrounds, identities and genders. If you are a human being with a body, I want to help you feel good.
DO YOU OFFER PACKAGES OR PROGRAMS?
Yes! Working together becomes easier as we go. Packages and programs can support you for months at a time and reflect savings from à la carte rates. Having an “open door” to prompt support enhances your healthy goal compliance. Scheduling is easy and I keep track of our communications. We can discuss what is right for your needs!
Note that I don’t currently offer group programs where everyone is detoxing together or taking the same vitamins because my clients have such varied personal needs. I customize everyone’s plan.
Do you take insurance?
I do not accept or bill insurance. I accept debit and credit cards, Venmo and HSA or FSA cards for all services and functional lab tests. Check with your provider to make sure you can use your HSA or FSA card according to their terms. If requested, I can provide a receipt statement for nutrition consulting services or functional tests to substantiate your HSA or FSA use. If you have a doctor who will write you a prescription for nutrition counseling, that may help as well.
DO YOU OFFER PHONE AND VIRTUAL SErVICES FOR DISTANCE CLIENTS?
Yes! I am virtual and offer Zoom or phone meetings.
Policies - please read me!
