Healthy Kitchen Appraisal & Makeover - $90 per hour
Often the best way to begin a healthier eating plan is to start with your kitchen! You may have great goals about getting in shape, but if your kitchen isn’t in shape first, you’re in trouble. What staples are missing in your fridge and pantry? What items do you need to reconsider? The dietitian will come to your home and assess the health status of your fridge and pantry. You will then receive recommendations for improvements based on your individual lifestyle and nutrition goals. Together with a half-hour nutrition consultation, this is an excellent option if you’re concerned about cholesterol, blood pressure, or blood sugar control.

Supermarket Shopping Tour - $90 per hour
Tour the supermarket of your choice with the dietitian and a workbook designed to help you make smart choices. Learn to identify the key parts of a nutrition label and how each part may affect your nutrition goals. The guided tour will be focused on what you and the dietitian have identified as top priority based on your nutrition needs. At the end of your shopping trip, sit down with the dietitian and review key concepts, ask questions, and discuss any other concerns you may have.

About the Dietitian

Adina Pearson earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Nutrition and Dietetics from Loma Linda University. She is registered with the Commission on Dietetic Registration (#940446) and is also a Certified Dietitian in the State of Washington. Adina also holds a Certificate of Training in Adult Weight Management. But that's just the technical stuff...

Adina is passionate about good food and good health and wants others to understand the impressive role nutrition plays in their lives. She loves to teach motivated people how they can make strides to improve their health in practical, everyday ways. This is why she created Eat Smart Nutrition - to lead you and others toward a healthier future through sound nutrition.

Philosophy

Food should be enjoyed and a source of pleasure as well as nourishment and fuel. You can't sacrifice one for the other, but you need both. Eat Smart Nutrition is not about get-thin-quick diets. Following a rigid list of “good” and “bad” foods doesn’t lead to long term health, weight success, or sanity. What does work is learning how to use smart nutrition principles to make healthy choices daily—and NO that doesn’t mean giving up bread, pasta or cake forever.

Life is busy and time is short. For many of us, when it comes to good nutrition, convenience is the key. But a healthy, balanced diet is important for everyone not just those with diabetes, high cholesterol or extra weight. The goal of Eat Smart Nutrition is to help you reach optimal nutrition and eating pleasure—all within the confines of your hectic schedule. We will help you develop eating habits that will improve your health and prevent nutrition-related illness whether you need to gain weight, lose weight, or stay the same. Because your health is about more than just a number on the scale.

YOU are more than the number on the scale. That is why Adina will make sure any plan decided on will fit your lifestyle. While you may need to make some changes, she’ll make sure your nutrition planning will not require you to become a part-time chef (unless you want to, of course). Adina is here to teach you how to eat smarter in practical ways that fit your life. Adina will help you find the How-To’s of better nutrition. You’ve got things to do. Eating is one of them. Let Eat Smart Nutrition help you to eat smart.

Why See a Registered Dietitian?

Registered dietitians are the food and nutrition experts recognized by the health profession to be the most qualified to answer nutrition questions and offer nutrition counseling. A registered dietitian has at least a 4-year college degree in nutrition, has survived training internships and has passed a rigorous registration exam. Dietitians must also keep up-to-date by accumulating 75 hours of continuing education every 5 years in order to maintain their registration status. On the other hand, anyone can be called a "nutritionist" as it does not require any credentials or a degree. If you want sound nutrition advice from a qualified professional, Eat Smart Nutrition is the place for you.
