Nutrition Services
Diet can directly affect a person’s physical health, mental well-being and overall quality of life. Eating healthfully – ensuring that you get the nutrients you need to stay well and manage any health problems – can significantly decrease the amount of medication needed to treat a disease. Dietary changes can even help you avoid developing some health issues that require medication.
Overlook Medical Center’s outpatient dietitians are experts in medical nutrition therapy, preventative medicine, current research findings, behavioral change strategies and mindfulness training. Through the “Menu for Success” program, they will help you make sense out of confusing nutritional claims and choose the dietary strategy that’s right for you.
When you want to change your behavior and create long-term results, what you do has to fit your life. Our nutrition professionals provide one-on-one nutritional counseling tailored to your individual needs. Personalized eating plans are designed by considering lifestyle factors such as schedules, family and work life, activity level, where you eat most frequently, and food preferences, as well as any emotional connections you may have to food. We identify barriers that may prevent you from reaching your goals and help you defeat them to achieve success.
