Nutrition Sessions
Now semi-retired, Eve has decided not to renew her Nutrition Certification, therefore she no longer offers her services as a Nutrition Coach. However, she would like to continue sharing her ongoing health research with others. Eve has information on both sides of many current issues, offering an unbiased look at the 'pros and cons' to help you make an educated decision regarding your diet. Therefore, Eve continues to offer a single session for general nutrition/diet questions. Please see Session Rates below for more explanation . . .
1) Those with questions about current nutrition trends or wanting more information on a specific topic. The session can be shared with one or two others (the cost can also be shared), as long as all participants have the same interest/goal. For larger groups, please see the Speaking Presentations information above.
2) Eve will not put you on a specific diet, but she can offer a very general overview of your current dietary habits, to identify any 'red flags' where improvements could be made. And if you need more detailed guidance, Eve will refer you to an appropriate, credible health specialist for your particular concerns.
