Wondering if a visit to a nutritional counselor would benefit you? Here are five great reasons to call one today:
You Have Allergies or Food Intolerances
Does gluten seem to make you sick? Does dairy make your stomach flip? If so, you may have an allergy or intolerance. Talk to a nutritionist about testing for these conditions and how to change or improve your diet for fewer symptoms.
You Have Ongoing Stomach Issues
Many stomach problems are signs of your body’s inability to tolerate what you’re eating. This may be gas or bloating when you eat dairy, a sick feeling when you eat too much starch or constipation that won’t go away. A better, more balanced diet can alleviate many of these issues.
You Can’t Lose Weight
Losing weight can be difficult, especially if you aren’t sure of what to eat and what to avoid. If you’ve tried everything you can think of and aren’t seeing any results – or if your success is inconsistent – talk to a nutritional counselor about healthy weight loss programs. They can design one just for you.
You Have Uncontrollable Heartburn
Heartburn that is frequent and hard to control may be a sign of a disease that requires medication. Often, though, the condition can also be adequately treated through a change in the diet. Talk to your nutritionist about these changes.
You Have a Diagnosed or Suspected Eating Disorder
Eating disorders aren’t limited to anorexia or bulimia. Binge eating disorder, emotional eating issues and much more can all be treated with the help of a professional nutritionist or counselor. If you or a loved one suspect you are dealing with an eating disorder, talk to a professional about getting the help you need to improve your eating habits for better health.
