Our Personalized Nutrition Counseling services are rooted in a functional and integrative perspective. We are focused on understanding the primary drivers of dysfunction and seek resolution at the most fundamental level. 

Our intake process begins with a 90-minute initial evaluation, followed by a 60-minute comprehensive planning session two to four weeks later. 

The 90-minute initial appointment is a comprehensive information-gathering session combined with education and first steps planning. Dr. Hall listens and guides you through telling your story. This includes a health/life review, current concerns, and goals. A detailed inventory of current dietary practices, stress/mood management strategies, sleep/wake cycles, movement history and current practices, relationships (family, friends, virtual), spiritual practices, nature connection, hobbies, and interests is taken.  

At the end of this appointment, any relevant functional lab test will be ordered to further elucidate possible hidden contributory factors such as nutritional deficiencies, disruption of the gut microbiome, environmental toxicity, metabolic function, etc. 

Simple first steps will be collaboratively established. These can be, but are not limited to, dietary suggestions, supplementation, amino acid therapy, building a stress management grab bag, starting a physical movement practice, etc.

In the 60-minute comprehensive planning session, Dr. Hall will provide education on using food as medicine, supplementation, stress management, environmental exposures, the gut/brain connection, circadian rhythm, physical movement practices, spiritual practices, etc. that prove relevant to your unique circumstances. 

The takeaway from this appointment will be a high-level overview of options for a path forward with more firm and comprehensive targets and practices to work towards beyond the first steps.
