Nutrition is the foundation for good health, but the ideal nutrition plan for one person may be completely different from your own. Nutritional planning requires a customized approach that’s catered to your needs—that means accounting for chronic illnesses, hormonal imbalances, allergies and food sensitivities, age, lifestyle choices, and other factors that can influence your overall health. In addition, food can be tied to emotional health with patterns like stress eating or leaning heavily on comfort foods that lack the well-rounded nutrition that you really need.

Working with a registered dietitian can provide you with a new outlook on your relationship with food and help you select and prepare healthier options that nourish your body and optimize your health and wellbeing. Here at El Con Health and Wellness, Caitlyn Fergerson, RDN, works one on one with patients to help them develop better habits and gain a deeper understanding of their nutritional needs.
