Nutrition Services

At Kaiser Permanente’s Positive Choice Wellness Center we offer a variety of nutrition services that are designed to help you achieve optimal nutrition status, increase vitality, and improve health.

The corner stone of healthy living is providing your body with the nutrients needed for optimum performance. Low energy, fatigue, mood swings, and illness are symptoms of improper nutrition. Our nutrition services can help you to learn how to balance protein, carbohydrate and fat intake in ways to help curb appetite and renew physical strength. You will learn the importance of phyto-nutritients, vitamins and minerals, and how to ensure proper nutrition intake in your diet. We provide nutrition strategies for weight loss, maintenance, athletic performance and health recovery. In addition we provide programs for those who feel they are compulsive over-eaters or are addicted to food. We help you understand brain chemistry and how it relates to food, and provide nutrition and behavior strategies to help you over come food addictions.

There are many benefits to eating nutritious foods.

  • Balanced nutrition ensures a good sustained energy level throughout your day and increased stamina.
  • Adequate calorie and nutrient intake strengthens your immune system which helps you to avoid illness, fight infection, and recover more quickly from illness or injury.
  • Balance carbohydrate, protein, and fat intake as a part of healthy meals helps stabilize mood, and curbs appetite.
  • Antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables help protect your body from pollutants in the environment and sun damage.
  • Eating a healthy diet can help you to prevent and recover from chronic diseases, such as type-2 diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, metabolic syndrome, and arthritis.
  • Following proper nutrition guidelines can improve your mental and emotional health, including the treatment and prevention of anxiety and depression.

This assessment is followed by four individual exercise and nutrition training sessions with your specialist working on your specific fitness and weight management goals.

SOLUTIONS — RECOVERY FROM FOOD ADDICTION

If you are a food addict, you use food to help yourself feel better, or to not feel anything at all. Food becomes your way of coping with stress, loneliness, anger, and fatigue. Diets can’t help you because they only treat the symptom of too much body fat and not the underlying issues of addictive thinking. Our intensive 12-week food addiction recovery program provides a safe, supportive environment where you will learn strategies to break free from the cycles of addictive thinking and behavior.

Twelve-week program: $425

NEW–TRITION

Learn how to optimize your nutritional intake to reduce your risk of disease and premature death. Course covers current research and recommendations.
