SouthCoast Health offers dietetic counseling as one of our many specialty services to help our patients with their path to Total Wellness for Life. Learn how Rebekah M. Laurance, a SouthCoast Health Registered Dietitian Nutritionist explains how these services can get you on the path to a healthier lifestyle.
Whenever I tell people what I do for a living, I quickly have to follow up with, "But I'm not judging your food!" The reality is, I believe all food can work into a healthy eating plan, it just depends on your goals and personal nutrition beliefs. I try to be as flexible as possible when setting health goals with people. I may nudge someone in the right direction but ultimately, I want my patients to pick what aspect of their diet or lifestyle that they believe needs to be adjusted. People are more likely to change if they see a goal as important and they have autonomy in their decision to change. Education is always a part of nutrition, but most people have a basic understanding of healthy eating but may not, for example, know what will lower their cholesterol or blood sugars. Having a dietitian on your care team can help you work on your health goals.
