Your first session with Ushadai

My expectation for the first session is to build rapport, gather information, and set a strong foundation for my patient’s nutritional care plan. I aim to create a comfortable and judgment-free environment where they feel safe sharing personal information. • Dietary Assessment: Explore eating patterns, portion sizes, preferences, and any food restrictions. • Goal Setting: Collaborate on realistic, measurable short- and long-term goals. • Education & Recommendations: Provide tailored advice, address misconceptions, and suggest practical, achievable changes. • Follow-Up Plan: Outline future sessions, track progress, and provide helpful resources
