How often do I see the nutritionist?

Follow-up is important to continue the education, monitor progress, making changes and for support. Some patients come weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, depending on their needs. The goal is to reach that point where your health goals are achieved, and you are independently capable of taking care of your nutritional needs.

Does insurance cover my expenses?

Lifetime Nutrition does not participate with any insurance companies, therefore does not submit your bill. Lifetime Nutrition will provide you with a detailed receipt of your payment that includes all the codes required by insurance companies. I encourage you to try to achieve reimbursement, especially if your physician referred you to me.

Does Lifetime Nutrition coordinate with other health care practitioners?

Yes. I might recommend the services of another physician, naturopathic doctor, psychotherapist, chiropractor, massage therapist, energy healer, acupuncturist, and others to enhance the holistic approach to your health care.

Does Lifetime Nutrition require special laboratory tests?
