The main goal of the initial consultation is to get to know you and understand how I can help you best: the focus will be on what you eat and your lifestyle, any diets you have been on in the past, eventual behaviors and\/or food choices, your goals, health-related issues you wish to improve. All this information will allow me to create a <\/span>highly personalized <\/b>nutrition and lifestyle plan tailored to your needs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

The first visit, which is held online and takes about 60 minutes,<\/span> includes:<\/p>

Follow-up visits are important in order to complete the nutritional pathway and achieve your goals.

Anthropometric measurements are not the focus of the consultation, they are just parameters that can be useful in some cases as totally superfluous in others.
