Then you haven't come to see us yet!
Broadly speaking, what is the proposed path?
1. Analysis
We want to get to know you and your lifestyle. And to do that, we need you to get involved.
- You fill in a 3-day food diary and your nutritionist analyzes it;
- Your nutritionist will also look at relevant factors that you have named (pain, stomach ache, sleep, energy, various reactions, hunger/satiety, etc.);
- We're getting ready to meet you.
2. The first appointment
We feel we already know you a little bit, so we're ready! We continue our clinical evaluation.
- You feel like you're finally being listened to and understood, and that your reality and previous trials are being taken into account;
Psstttt don't be surprised.e if, after a few minutes' consultation, you're asked about the texture and frequency of your bowel movements! Talking about poo is part of our daily lives.
- By the end of the meeting, you feel that the nutritionist has really got to know you;
- FINALLY! You have a clearer idea of your problem, you agree on achievable goals and you're getting ready to change a few things to improve your condition.
3. Your turn to play
You've followed your nutritionist's advice and are already seeing some changes.
- You feel deflated;
- You have more energy;
- You feel better, you have a sense of freedom;
- You'll have a better understanding of the whys and wherefores with the help of your nutritionist;
- You think you really should have come to us first!
4. Maintenance is the key! Not an easy task, as experience has taught us.
Oops!
- You've been in a rush at the office. You're more stressed than usual;
- Your intestinal symptoms have gradually returned;
- Your weight has stagnated and you're feeling demotivated;
- Your pain returned. You had less respect for what you were doing in the beginning.
We can already hear you saying:
"It's just a bad patch, I'm going to
take me back!"
You're all making this mistake!
Anyone who has made changes to their lifestyle knows this. Maintaining the new gains is the most difficult phase.
Our old slippers are so comfortable and our habits of the last 20 or 30 years have a nasty tendency to come back quickly. And when things go wrong, you want to integrate everything again on your own, thinking that we'll be disappointed in you...
5. Support
We won't let you go; that's a promise!
- Once you've achieved your goals, we'll provide you with ongoing support so you can be part of your success for life! A bit like a family nutritionist what!
Receipts from dietitian-nutritionists will be provided.
For those of you who commit to working with us to reach and maintain your goals, we've got a few extra tools in store!
Please note that meetings can be held virtually or in person (in the Quebec City and Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean regions).
We offer our consulting services to residents of the provinces of Quebec, Ontario, and Alberta.
