Nutrition Counseling
One of the most powerful tools you have for improving your health is in your hands—and on your plate. A nutritious diet can help you manage chronic conditions, reach a healthy weight and feel more energetic. For the personalized advice you need to meet your goals, partner with a dietitian at St. Bernards Healthcare.
Do I Need Nutrition Counseling?
You may receive a referral to our registered dietitians if you:
- Need to lose weight for health reasons
- Take part in our diabetes education program
- Receive a diagnosis of heart disease or kidney disease
- Need to gain weight because of an eating disorder or another health condition
- Are pregnant or planning to become pregnant
Getting Started
After your doctor refers you to nutrition counseling, we’ll call you to schedule an appointment. If you have questions, contact your doctor’s office or call our dietitian at 870.207.7840.
Your Personal Nutrition Plan
You’ll meet with a dietitian at 505 E. Matthews Ave. or at St. Bernards Health & Wellness in Jonesboro to talk about your medical history, lifestyle and food preferences. Together, we’ll make a dietary plan that reflects your tastes and meets your doctor’s recommendations. Your plan focuses on lifestyle changes—we don’t prescribe diet pills or medications.
Reach out to your dietitian or physician with questions as you follow your new meal plan. They’ll work together to support you and monitor your progress over the long term.
Cost & Insurance Coverage
Ask your health insurance provider about your plan’s requirements for coverage of nutrition counseling. If insurance coverage isn’t available for your situation, please reach out to us for further information. Even a single session can help you improve your health.
Self-Pay Nutritional Counseling
Call 870.207.7786 to ask our registered dietitian at St. Bernards Health & Wellness how to plan meals that can help you reach a healthy weight or achieve your fitness goals. You’ll meet to discuss your lifestyle, medical history and food preferences. Cost for a half-hour session is $35. No referral needed.
