Nutrition – Eating for Health
What you eat plays a vital role in how your body and mind function! Unfortunately, nutrition can be overlooked in preventing and treating many conditions. But at Community Health Center of Snohomish County (CHC), nutrition is an important part of our holistic healthcare approach!
While your primary care provider may suggest changes to your diet and eating habits, they can also refer you to our qualified nutrition specialist to help you even more with your nutrition goals. Our nutrition specialist can help by making realistic recommendations based on your circumstances, offering ideas to create a more balanced lifestyle, and guiding you to healthier eating habits.
Benefits of a Nutrition Specialist
Our nutrition experts know the challenges our community faces, like the rising cost of food and the experience of food insecurity. The goal of a nutritionist is to help you make better nutritional choices for your health based on the framework of your life as it is right now. They will ensure their suggestions reflect your cultural or religious dietary needs or restrictions.
By working with your primary care provider and nutrition specialist, you can set tangible goals that can make life-changing improvements. Our nutritionists can:
- Make tailored plans for you and your family
- Offer special diet recommendations
- Observe and treat chronic conditions through diet change
Talk to your primary care provider about whether a visit to the nutritionist would be beneficial to you and your family!
