Nutritional Phone Consultations

Introduction: Why Nutritional Counseling Needs a Functional Approach

In today’s fast-paced world, poor diet is one of the most overlooked causes of chronic illness—from fatigue and diabetes to gut disorders and hormonal imbalances. At Patients Medical in NYC, we offer remote nutritional consultations that take a functional, whole-person approach to your health.

Whether you’re managing diabetes, thyroid issues, weight struggles, or just want to feel better, our licensed functional nutritionists and integrative physicians create plans tailored to your body, labs, lifestyle, and goals—no visit to the clinic required.

What Is a Nutritional Phone Consultation?

A Nutritional Phone Consultation is a one-on-one session with a licensed functional nutrition expert, where we assess your health status, dietary habits, and lab results remotely. We then create a customized dietary and supplement plan to target the root causes of your symptoms. This is not a generic “eat better” session—it’s a deep dive into your body’s unique needs. During the call, we may discuss:
  • Chronic symptoms like bloating, cravings, fatigue, or weight gain
  • Lab findings such as blood sugar, hormones, or gut markers
  • Nutrient deficiencies (vitamin D, iron, B12, etc.)
  • Food intolerances, leaky gut, or inflammation
  • Detoxification and metabolic health
  • Mindful eating, intermittent fasting, or functional meal timing

Case Study: Mark’s Journey with Functional Nutrition

Mark, 47, was prediabetic, overweight, and constantly fatigued. His A1C was 6.4 and he struggled to lose weight despite trying multiple diets. Through a remote nutritional consultation, we discovered:

  • High cortisol and elevated fasting insulin
  • Leaky gut and food sensitivities to gluten and dairy
  • Poor sleep quality and mitochondrial dysfunction

Our plan included:

  • An anti-inflammatory, low-glycemic diet
  • Gut repair supplements
  • Magnesium and alpha-lipoic acid
  • Intermittent fasting with a 14:10 schedule

Within 10 weeks, Mark’s energy returned, he lost 18 lbs, and his A1C dropped to 5.7. All from home.
