Patient Education
Giving Nature Center offers classes, workshops and individual sessions to give you skills and information for taking care of your health.
Patient Advocacy Consultation
Whether you are treating a specific health condition or just seeking an overall program for ongoing health maintenance, this consultation will provide you with information and skills for making the best choices.
How do you determine what kind of health care you need and where to find it? How do you evaluate the input you receive from your health care providers and integrate both conventional Western medicine and holistic health care?
How do you assess the information you hear through friends and through the media, claiming benefits of one supplement or the dangers of a particular medication?
We are inundated with input but no one source of information is complete. At Giving Nature Center, we provide patient education and advocacy to support your ability to effectively evaluate your options and to make the right choices in your health care program.
Nutritional Consultation
What foods are best for you? Are supplements required, and if so, when, and which ones?
In the midst of our fast-paced lifestyles, we are surrounded by many fad diets and conflicting opinions about what constitutes "good nutrition." In addition, so much of our food is highly processed and may contain unhealthy chemicals.
Many people are seeking a sound basis for determining the best foods to eat for their specific needs, whether they need nutritional supplements, and how to use them wisely. Nutrition is one of the best forms of preventative health care.
We offer straightforward nutritional counseling to help you determine the best dietary approach for your needs, whether you are trying to lose weight, reduce your cholesterol, eliminate allergy symptoms, or to simply improve your vitality and feel better.
