The services offered allows for a wide spectrum of needs to be met. Whether you need a brief
consultation or a step by step program (recommended for best results), a program can be tailored to
fit the needs of your child and your family.
Services
Consultations
The inital consultation can be done in the office or in the home and consists of a comprehensive evaluation of the child, the family and its lifestyle, the child's preferences and special needs as well as any other special considerations which will influence the success of the transition to a healthier diet. Once a baseline is established, the goals can be defined and the steps laid out for the individualized program.
The consultation takes about 90 minutes and may also include nutritional supplement recommendations.
Follow up consultations can be done by phone and are recommended at tailored intervals to support the ongoing success of the program.
These are usually about 30 minutes.
Pantry makeover
This involves an in-home visit and an evaluation of the food in your pantry, refrigerator and freezer. Healthy suggestions are made and lots of information is given as to how to determine which foods are good choices for your child. This is a fun, educational experience. DO NOT be ashamed of the food you have been eating!! You are simply doing what you were taught. Now is your chance to become empowered in your food choices and embrace your family's health.
Shopping consultations
Grocery shopping for healthy ingredients can be tricky. An accompanied shopping trip can make a world of difference in helping you make safe, healthy, economical choices. Trying to sift through endless products and their labels is hard for any parent, espcially when you are searching for foods that are without certain ingredients. A guided trip can ease this burden and shorten your learning curve.
Menu Planning
Menu Planning can be daunting especially if you are trying to implement a rotation diet or make huge changes like going gluten free. There are several tips and tricks you will learn along the way to help keep your budget in check as well as your sanity.
Samples
One of the most expensive things about dietary transition is buying new foods. Even more expensive yet is when your child wont eat them! We can provide you a sample pack of substitution foods at a fraction of the cost of buying several expensive products.
Emotional Support
Often times this becomes a daily struggle for these special kids. Teasing, bullying or embarassment is all too real for them. By addressing this emotional component your child can be healthier and happier on a daily basis. This allows for a level of healing that cannot be accomplished through diet alone.
At Smart Tummies, we can help you address these concerns and empower your child (and you) with the tools needed to regain focus and maintain emotional control in even the most stressful situations.
