How long will my virtual appointment last?
Changing your lifestyle is a process that cannot be accomplished in one visit. Here is what you can expect:
Initial session (1 hour): You will be receiving specific goals for your first session with about 10-20 foods to eat and food combinations with a shopping list. 2-3 days after each session we will answer any questions you may have over the telephone.
Follow up sessions (30 minutes – 1 hour): Evaluation of education and lifestyle changes. Goal reviewing and setting new goals may be set to continue to achieve your long-term health goal.
What if I can’t find your emails?
CHECK YOUR JUNK MAIL! After your initial appointment is confirmed, you will receive two secure forms to your email. They will come from Anderson’s Nutrition. These must be completed 48 hours after your appointment is confirmed and prior to your appointment so that we can have all the information we need to see you. Again, be sure to check your junk mail!
If you cannot find these emails anywhere, please send us a text to 561-929-1488 or call the office phone number 954-561-0166.
