Which nutrition therapy plan is best for me?

What should I expect during nutrition therapy sessions?

During nutrition therapy sessions at Hormonal Harmony, Kristen educates you on ways to improve healthy eating habits. She recommends eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean protein foods, whole grains, heart-healthy fats, and calcium-rich foods.
