In your first session with Teresa, she will spend time getting to know you and understanding your journey with recovery up to this point. Teresa will conduct a thorough nutrition assessment discussing your medical history, prescription medications, supplement use, labs, current nutrition philosophy, etc. She will also talk to you about what you have tried in the past, what worked, what didn't, and collaborate with you to create realistic goals moving forward.
