At Culina Health, we believe in sustainable and healthy weight loss, and we want to help you achieve your goals in effective and lasting ways.

We know that diets don’t work. Sustainable weight loss is a process that requires time and dedication. But you don’t have to go through it alone! (Read a real patient story of weight loss.)

Our weight loss registered dietitian nutritionists will work with you on building habits to improve your metabolism, balance your plate, increase physical activity, and support your relationship with food.

You will collaborate to create a personalized plan that integrates into your life, and aligns with your weight loss goals.

  • Your family and work demands
  • Your cooking skills and comfort in the kitchen

Physical & Mental Health

How often should I see a registered dietitian?

Factors like past medical history, relationship with food, long-term goals, and your insurance coverage or membership preferences all impact how frequently you should see your registered dietitian.

Most of our patients benefit from:

  • Sessions every 1-2 weeks for the first 1-3 months in care.
  • Some patients prefer to continue with sessions every 1-2 weeks after 3 months of care, while others may be ready to graduate to sessions every 1-3 months.
  • Once you achieve your long term goals, it can be helpful to check in with your RD every 6-12 months.

For patients pursuing bariatric surgery, our guidelines are:

  • Before your surgery, we require you to complete at least 3 sessions for bariatric surgery clearance.
  • After your surgery, we recommend weekly sessions until you are able to consume a soft diet, and you are meeting your nutrition needs consistently. Then, biweekly for at least 3-6 months.
  • Once you achieve your long term goals, it can be helpful to check in with your registered dietitian every 6-12 months.

Your RD will work with you to identify the best cadence to meet your individual needs.
