Bodyfuel, Inc. focuses on wellness nutrition. This includes lifestyle nutrition changes, sports nutrition, weight issues, eating disorders, PCOS, fertility, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, cardiovascular, and special diets, such as celiac and vegetarian.

This is not just another restrictive diet or calorie counting. The approach to nutrition is non-diet and wellness oriented, utilizing simple lifestyle. Our goal is to get back to basics: Whole foods, in the right amount with the right balance at the right time. Knowing clients’ individual needs through assessment is core to the plan. Often, clients know a lot about nutrition but can’t figure out what’s not working. Bodyfuel, Inc. will work with you to find simple solutions that focus on the physical responses, hunger, control, and energy level to help you create healthy eating patterns that work for you.

Pricing varies depending on service but typically $50 - $350 for most services. All services must be paid for at time of appointment. Often services may be covered under insurance, health savings account, or company wellness plans.

The first appointment is a complete evaluation. This session takes about 1.5 hours that includes history, body composition, metabolic rate and evaluation of nutritional needs. You may complete a questionnaire prior to the first appointment. You will leave with goals and a plan of action for eating.

This is not a diet! You will not be forced food or use extreme restriction. You will be working in small steps to achieve your personal nutrition and life goals. As a nutrition consultant treating eating disorders, Sally works with clients individually seeking their personal goals and needs for recovery. Treatment is highly individualized and deals with weight issues, food issues, behavioral change, and emotional issues related to food. Meal plans are individualized, dynamic, flexible, and constantly changing. Nutrition counseling includes education on food issues, metabolism, body image, self-care, exercise, stress relief, among other topics related to food issues. Success is determined by commitment, involvement, and communication. Information exchange between client and nutritional consultant is strictly confidential.

Types of food, balance and timing can make a difference. Many times we know what to eat … but we’re unable to stick to a consistent plan or schedule. That’s where Bodyfuel, Inc. can help. The first step is to evaluate your individual needs through a nutritional assessment that includes body composition, metabolic evaluation, and nutrition and medical history. We’ll work with you to ensure your success. Whether the changes are big or small, you’ll have our help every step of the way. From behavioral aspects and hunger issues to your physical body needs, we’ll create a plan to fit your specific needs.
