Nutritional Counseling

Nutrition affects everything—from how you feel when you wake up to how your body manages hormonal changes, stress, and aging. At UWH of The Carolinas, nutritional counseling goes beyond setting goals. It’s a collaborative, encouraging space to sort through what your body needs and how to nourish it with intention.

What to Expect from Nutritional Counseling

Meeting with a nutrition expert doesn’t mean stepping on a scale and walking away with a list of rules. Instead, you’ll talk about your goals, symptoms, concerns, and habits. Your provider will work with you to identify patterns and then present opportunities for improvement in a way that feels realistic to you. 

During your consultation, you’ll meet one-on-one with a trained healthcare professional who specializes in women’s nutrition. Together, you’ll explore:

  • Your current eating habits and nutritional intake
  • Your medical history, including conditions that may benefit from dietary support
  • Questions around weight changes, digestion, or energy fluctuations

From there, you’ll work together to come up with a plan. That might include small adjustments to your eating schedule, ideas for getting key nutrients, or suggestions for meal prep. If supplements are recommended, your provider will walk you through why they matter and how to take them.

Nutritional Support for Key Phases in Women’s Health

There’s no one “perfect” time to start eating well, but there are plenty of moments when it helps to have extra guidance. Here’s how we help patients at key stages in their life:

  • Fertility and Pregnancy: Proper nutrition can play a key role in supporting regular ovulation and hormone regulation. Once pregnant, your nutritional needs shift. Counseling can help you meet these targets while minimizing discomforts.
  • Postpartum Recovery: For breastfeeding parents, additional calories and hydration are essential. Your provider can guide you through simple food strategies that support milk production and promote energy while caring for your newborn.
  • Menopause and Beyond: Changes in metabolism, muscle mass, and bone density can make nutrition feel more complicated during menopause. Whether you’re experiencing new cravings or managing hot flashes, dietary shifts can make a real difference.

Nutrition affects everything from sleep to skin to mood. Tuning into what your body’s asking for can make a big difference, and our team is here to help decode those signals with you.

When to Consider Nutritional Counseling

You don’t need to wait until something feels “wrong” to speak with a nutrition expert. Many patients book their first appointment when:

  • Starting a new phase of life, like pregnancy or menopause
  • Managing a diagnosis like PCOS, gestational diabetes, or high blood pressure
  • Looking to improve digestion, skin health, or energy
  • Wanting to shift eating habits in a sustainable way

Regardless of where you are in life, there is value in expert nutritional guidance to be gained. If you’re researching it, that’s enough to validate taking next steps.

Virtual Nutritional Counseling

Getting care should feel manageable, even on busy days. For this reason, we offer telehealth for nutritional counseling. You’ll meet with your provider over a secure video call, so you can have the same thoughtful conversation you’d get in person, just from the comfort of home. All you need is a quiet spot and an internet connection.
