Approach to care

It's essential to capture an individuals lifestyle when addressing nutritional needs. My approach to care ensures each patient is treated on an individualized basis with interventions unique to their lifestyle needs. Using a root-cause functional integrative approach when creating interventions will ensure goals will be accomplished in a sustainable manner. Nutrition related lab values may be required to address a more in-depth approach to a patient's health status.
