NCDOR - Summerfield Custom Wellness

How a dietitian can help

Nutrition Counseling is an assessment of medical history and dietary intake performed by a Registered Dietitian. The dietitian then provides professional advice to help you make decisions about the food you eat. At Summerfield Custom Wellness, we take time to learn about your current lifestyle and nutrition goals. Then, we will help you develop a plan with action steps, realistic timelines, and strategies for overcoming barriers.

Wellness Webinar Schedule

Wellness webinars are held every other Thursday at noon ET.

Thursday, September 18th at 12 pm ET: Intuitive Eating Workshop

We are born with the inherent ability to be an intuitive eater, knowing when we’re hungry, what we want to eat, how much, and when we are full. As we are exposed to more external stimuli and social influences, we may slowly lose the ability to know what our body tells us and listen to those internal signals. In this interactive workshop, you’ll learn how to get back in touch with what your body is telling you, learn more about what helps with hunger and fullness cues, and practice some skills to help re-engage with your inner intuitive eater.

Thursday, October 2nd at 12 pm ET: Preventing Diabetes

More than 100 million Americans have diabetes or pre-diabetes, and that number continues to climb annually. The good news is that diabetes is preventable. The first step in prevention is understanding the disease and how it progresses. We’ll help you understand the keys to managing healthy blood sugar and proactive strategies to prevent long-term health risks.

Thursday, October 16th at 12 pm ET: Sleep, Stress, and Self-Care

People often think of sleep, stress management, and self-care as luxuries, but these are all essential components to a healthy, balanced lifestyle. Join us to explore why these aspects of wellness are so crucial to your overall health as we provide accessible, actionable, and affordable tips that you can use at home to feel your absolute best.

Thursday, October 30th at 12 pm ET: Nutrition for Cognition: Food and Mood

The brain is a control center for our body, regulating our thoughts and emotions. Our gut and brain are interconnected, making our diet a key factor in influencing our mood. With this session, we will show you how to use your plate to make your gut happy, and in turn alleviate symptoms of anxiety and depression and promote a positive mood.

These sessions are billable to the State Health Plan. You are still welcome to attend if you do not have unlimited nutrition visits through the State Health Plan.
