Struggling with maintaining a healthy weight can be difficult and for some of us it’s an ongoing challenge. March is National Nutrition Month and at Revan Health, we want to help all our clients achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
“Proper nutrition and weight management are integral to health maintenance and disease prevention,” says co-owner of Revan Health Bridget Van Treese, APRN-CNP, FNP-BC, AGACNP-BC.
VanTreese encourages people to start their nutrition education by taking the My Plate quiz from the US Department of Agriculture. This short quiz helps analyze your eating habits and gives you personalized results that let you know which areas of your nutrition could use improvement.
Working with your health care provider can also help grow your knowledge and skills about nutrition. Revan Health offers several different options for weight loss and nutrition counseling.
For those looking to lose weight, Revan Health offers clinician supervised weight loss services including:
Consultation to determine safest and most effective option for the individual,
prescription for weight loss medication,
weekly weigh-ins for accountability, and
labs and weight loss supplements as applicable.
Nutrition counseling can include things like learning to control emotional eating, filling up on fruits and veggies, avoiding excess sugar and incorporating daily exercise into your life.
Maintaining a healthy weight is an important part of overall health and can help you avoid developing risk factors for chronic diseases including high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, osteoarthritis and certain cancers. If you need help with weight loss or nutrition counseling, schedule an appointment with us today. We’re here to help you live your best life!
Revan Health provides welcoming, respectful family medicine for all from infants to geriatrics. We understand the pain and frustration that comes with not feeling heard by your family care provider. We believe access to respectful care is key to improving medicine adherence and overall life satisfaction for our patients. Like us on Facebook or visit us at revanhealth.com.
