Nutrition Counseling/Medical Nutrition Therapy
Patients of any age or medical condition meet one-on-one with a registered dietitian. In our assessment we take into account not only the patient's usual diet and medical history, but also their economic and social background, family history and a thorough understanding of their lifestyle and what influences their lifestyle choices. Goals are established based on achievable steps the patient believes can be accomplished. Follow-up is scheduled as needed. A physican's order is required for all patients seeing a dietitian; recent lab work and, if the patient is under 18 years of age, a copy of their growth chart may also be requested. Call (703) 369-8405 for an appointment.
Resting Metabolic Rate Measurement (RMR)
Have your unique caloric needs calculated and a plan developed with a Registered Dietitian for successful weight management. Using the latest technology, we can measure a patient's RMR to help determine his/her calorie needs. Please refrain from eating, smoking and exercising for a minimum of 4 hours prior to the visit. A physician order is required to see a dietitian. Follow-up appointments are scheduled as needed. Call (703) 369-8405 for more information or to register.
