Nutrition Assessment (60 min): Cristina will review your weight, exercise, diet and medical history and provide specific feedback and simple changes that will help achieve your health and fitness goals.
Follow up Sessions (30 min): Cristina will give you new goals as you progress and help you develop strategies to overcome setbacks and keep you on track. She will help you unlearn bad habits and learn how to make the best food choices at the grocery store, in restaurants and on special occasions.
Most diet programs do not evoke lifestyle changes because they are too rigid. Individual nutrition coaching will adjust your current eating patterns to give you the nutrition you need, in a lifestyle that works for you.
