Contact UsWhat Is Nutrition Counseling?
If you struggle with constructing well-balanced meals and nutrition labels on food at the grocery store baffle you, seeking nutritional counseling at Ignite Weight Loss & Mental Health can help! Nutrition counseling helps you develop healthy habits that become part of your lifestyle and lead to long-term success. From day one, we will review your medical history, activity level, current diet, and work with you to set realistic, achievable fitness and nutrition goals. We may require a comprehensive blood panel to determine any underlying medical conditions that need to be addressed, but all testing is done on a case-by-case basis. After gathering this important information, We will devise a nutrient-specific diet that will keep your body in optimal condition as you drop weight.
What to Expect from Nutrition Counseling
There are so many benefits to fueling your body correctly. While you can just "lose weight," there is a right and wrong way to do it. A healthy way to lose weight requires education, planning, and the prevention or correction of micro and macronutrient deficiencies. Learning how foods and drinks impact your health will set the foundation for creating healthy, balanced lifestyle habits. You can use nutritional counseling as a resource for asking dietary questions and learning new ways to select and portion your foods. Nutritional guidance at Ignite Weight Loss & Mental Health will focus on healthy and easy ways to prepare food, as well as decipher food labels in ways that are impactful to your weight loss goals. At Ignite Weight Loss & Mental Health, it is important that you have the knowledge to transform your life and heal your relationship with food. With regularly scheduled check-ins, we can talk about what works, what doesn't work, what you could be doing differently to maximize your treatment, and to make sure you are properly nourishing your body with what it needs most. We have helped patients lose weight with evidence-based approaches, such as intermittent fasting, low-carb high-fat diets, calorie reduction, and mindfulness (intuitive) base eating. We bring an open mind to nutrition, believing in the provider-patient relationship to be a collaborative team effort.
Ignite Weight Loss & Mental Health Reviews
I am not a review person. I don’t leave reviews because I’ve always felt that a person needs to make their own judgement without my opinion. I’m making an exception to that because I truly am grateful and people that feel “stuck” need to know that you are NOT just “stuck”. I had gained 30 pounds in the past year and I’ve tried everything from keto to eating small meals every 3 hours. I’ve had labs, well checks, and dr appointments. Every time I’ve said “I just don’t feel good” or tried to explain that despite diet, rigorously and endlessly exercising, I can’t lose the extra weight and I just don’t feel normal, the answer I kept getting was “you’re 45, you’re getting older and your body is just slowing down”. FINALLY, I made an appointment with Stephanie and she DIDN’T tell me”you’re just getting older”. We had a zoom appointment, we talked about lifestyle, and she gave me an answer for why I wasn’t feeling normal. She prescribed me a medication to help start the process and she gave me a detailed plan to start my journey. If you’re questioning whether you should make that appointment……..just do it! You’re NOT “stuck” and you’re NOT “just getting older”. It is definitely worth it!
I saw a post on FB in a nurses of AZ group, I was at a point in my life I was ready to do something. I called and got to talk with Katie upon calling! I’ve been working with her since July and I don’t regret one minute of it. Katie has been encouraging, supportive, and has finally given me the tools I need to be successful in my weight loss journey! My mindset has changed, my motivation has increased, my body is changing and Katie has been a helpful hand behind it all!! I have recommended her to all of my friends and will continue to do so!
Katie has been a God-send to our family. Our 14 yr old daughter has high functioning autism and was reaching all-time lows. We had seen several other practitioners including a pediatric neurologist and no one had been able to connect with our daughter and gain her trust. She didn’t want to go to anymore doctors claiming that no one had helped her and she just couldn’t do it anymore. These are the amazing things about Katie… 1. She is on zoom…this was such a better experience for both my daughter and I. It was amazing to not have to drive, sit in another office, and be seen by someone who never really cared to know us. Zoom was so convenient and we felt more relaxed in our home. 2. Katie is cash pay and the great part about this is that the child didn’t have to be present like in the Dr. Office. This allowed me to talk openly with her about what was going on without my daughter having to be embarrassed or sit through hearing everything again. Being able to have separate appointments allows my daughter and I to both be heard. 3. Katie has been amazingly available. When I have needed prescription refills or needed to touch base she has been extremely responsive and willing to help in timely manner. No more emailing the dr’s nurse🙌🏻🙌🏻. 4. I finally feel like I have someone in my corner who is helping me figure out how to help my daughter. She genuinely cares and I can’t put into words the amount of stress that has taken off of my shoulders. She has thought outside of the box in regards to her medication and we are finally feeling hopefully for the first time in a long time. Can’t recommend her enough!! 10/10
I began this journey with Katie about 2 months ago and I have to say she is simply the best. I’m getting results, feeling better, and learning new things every time we meet. I have and would recommend her.
A boutique medical practice that helped me so much. Excellent care and expertise. Especially recommend to women going through menopause and deal with weight gain and hormonal mood swings and anxiety. Lubbock is so lucky to have this practice.
