A nutritionist is a healthcare professional who specializes in food and nutrition. They can help establish healthy eating plans for people who wish to lose weight, improve their health or have special dietary needs. Special needs can include allergies or health conditions like heart disease or diabetes that require careful food planning to manage them better. JenCare offers nutrition services and patient education classes that include free nutritional counseling from an expert to support your overall health and well-being. Ask your doctor or care team member about the nutrition services and other health and wellness programs that may be offered at your location.
