As the CEO of Consultant Nutritionists I very often look back to my first encounter with the science of nutrition. I grew up in Harlem. Back then I thought the "Four Food Groups" was just about food. During my very first nutrition course, however, I learned of the substances in our food called nutrients and how essential they are not only for good health but for life itself. I realized then that the people in my community, even in my family, did not have any idea the food we were eating dramatically impacted the diabetes and high blood pressure that was ravaging our community. While the challenge then was to help people realize the importance of nutrition to their health and well-being; the challenge today has shifted to helping people act on this knowledge by making healthier food and lifestyle choices.

More and more healthcare providers are tending to their client’s need through telehealth services. Telehealth is the use of advanced information technology such as computers, smartphones and tablets to provide healthcare services remotely; outside of the traditional brick and mortar healthcare setting. With telehealth clients are able to access convenient quality healthcare services remotely, without having to travel long distances or spend precious time sitting in an office waiting to see their healthcare provider. Instead, clients are able to receive the expert health care services they need in more comfortable settings like at home or at work saving travel time and money.
Healthie is a HIPAA-compliant patient platform that allows clients to join video visits with their nutritionist, record diet and exercise history with a free mobile app, create goals, and much more! HIPAA compliant ensures a client’s information is safe, securely protected and never shared with anyone else without the client’s explicit permission.
