Approach
"My approach to better nutrition and overall health is to discuss the patient's goals and learn more about their personal, medical, social, economic and family history and work together on a plan to achieve timely, measurable, and attainable goals safely and effectively at the pace that works best for them. This is accomplished through motivational interviewing and creating an environment of autonomy and accountability for their own journey."
