At the core of Clinical Dietitians & Nutrition Consultants is the Step-up
Nutrition Program, a comprehensive weight management and disease prevention program
that stresses the importance of optimal nutrition, active lifestyle, sleep, and
the body-mind connection, focusing on disease prevention and wellness as well
as medical conditions that can be addressed via nutrition and behavioral change.
The program is tailored to adult women, who approach and experience weight loss and behavioral change differently than
men.
The Step-up Nutrition is a “therapeutic lifestyle program” supporting long-term
nutritional solutions and permanent lifestyle change. Since many health problems
are caused by our lifestyle choices and habits, organizations such as the American
Heart Association, American Diabetes Association, National Heart, Lung, and Blood
Institute, and National Cholesterol Education Program are recommending therapeutic
lifestyle programs as a primary and powerful therapy for the prevention and maintenance
of different conditions.
Scientifically based, the Step-up Nutrition Program uses the latest scientifically
sound nutrition and health information from science and evidence based research.
Our program is based on coaching as well as self-management. Women take personal
responsibility and accountability for their health and well-being. During the
wellness journey to optimal health and well-being, women become the students of
their own habits. This is an awareness process, with change occurring from inside
out.
It is important to note that the program is not a magic bullet. Eating healthier,
losing weight, or changing your activity levels require lifestyle change – not
a diet. Our program is highly individualized, taking into consideration the full
spectrum of your health, personality, current lifestyle, and culture.
The 12-week long program includes nine 60-minute sessions, two 90-minute sessions,
and one two-hour "savvy shopper" session. The Step-up Nutrition Program incorporates stress reduction and mindfulness
techniques. Becoming more emotionally healthy by reducing stress will make it
easier for you to make smarter food choices and make you more likely to commit
to your activity. View complete session features.
