Nutrition Counseling in Palm Beach Gardens, FL

At Gardens Wholistic Health Center

We believe that what you eat is one of the most powerful influences on how you feel. Proper nutrition fuels the body, supports natural healing, and prevents chronic disease.

Dr. Rice holds advanced credentials in clinical nutrition, allowing him to identify nutritional imbalances, design corrective strategies, and guide patients toward lasting vitality — all without extreme diets or gimmicks.

Introduction to Clinical Nutrition

Clinical nutrition goes beyond basic diet advice. It examines how specific nutrients, food choices, and metabolic functions affect your overall health. Through careful assessment and targeted recommendations, Dr. Rice develops individualized nutrition plans that address both current symptoms and underlying imbalances.

This process involves evaluating your lifestyle, medical history, digestive health, and lab results (if available) to identify deficiencies or metabolic challenges. From there, Dr. Rice outlines a step-by-step plan to help you feel better and function at your best.

Our approach is realistic and supportive — we work with you to build sustainable habits, not short-term fixes.

Why Nutrition Counseling Matters

Your body relies on nutrients to perform every essential function — from producing energy and hormones to repairing cells and supporting brain function. When nutrition is out of balance, symptoms can appear gradually, such as fatigue, weight gain, inflammation, or mood changes.

Nutrition counseling helps you understand how food choices affect your body and empowers you to take control of your health. By improving digestion, reducing inflammation, and stabilizing blood sugar, many patients experience:
