Gastroparesis Health, Nutrition & Lifestyle Coaching (By Phone)

Our digestive tracts are like our thumb print: unique.  That makes dealing with gastroparesis complex and often frustrating, especially for patients trying to figure it all out on their own.  That’s where I come in.  We’ll figure out which dietary and lifestyle choices work best for you – minimizing your symptoms and better nourishing your body and mind.

If you’re newly diagnosed, I’ll help you better understand your diagnosis and guide your through implementing any necessary changes to your diet and/or lifestyle.  Everything is done within the parameters of your physician’s recommendations.

Your step-by-step program includes:

• Two 60-minute phone sessions per month (12 total), in which we’ll discuss your progress, goals, concerns, and personalized recommendations
• Notes from each session, outlining the information and recommendations we discussed
• E-mail support between sessions
• A collection of nutritious recipes, specific to your digestive needs/concerns
• Articles, worksheets, and handouts based on your specific needs and recommendations
• Access to a lending library of health/wellness/fitness books, CDs, and DVDs (available by mail)
• A monthly newsletter
• …and a few surprises!

Individual Assistance & Patient Advocacy

Besides writing this blog, I work as a Certified Health Counselor and Gastroparesis Advocate.  My goal is to help as many people as possible and I try to respond to all inquiries submitted via this site.  However, due to the limitations of time and email, I recommend that those in need of personal assistance schedule a 45-minute session via phone or web chat.   This gives you a chance to ask all of your questions and get personal guidance based on your situation.

These sessions are appropriate for questions related to:

• Preparation for visits to physicians and specialists
• Insurance appeals for gastric neurostimulator
• How to proceed after a new diagnosis

Schedule your appointment by clicking here. Within 24 hours, I’ll contact you to confirm and find out whether you’d like to meet via phone or web chat.  (Web chats include emailed transcript.)
