Nutrition for Kids

Undernourished infants and children experience stunted physical and mental development. A pediatric registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) at Nutrition HealthWorks can help undernourished children improve their nutritional status with an individualized eating plan based on each pediatric patient’s needs.

Overnutrition In Children

Overnutrition or overeating among children leads to obesity, which presents its own set of problems. Obese children are prone to bullying and low self-esteem in addition to heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and more. A pediatric RDN at Nutrition HealthWorks will form a healthy eating and activity plan that can help children learn a healthy lifestyle to better manage their weight and potentially avoid obesity and related health problems.

GET HELP TODAY

“We contacted Gina at Nutrition HealthWorks in hopes of getting help for our 11 year old daughter who had been struggling for years with digestive issues, poor food choices and weight gain. Over the course of 8 months, Gina has been able to educate us on the importance of healthy eating, how to achieve that and making it fun along the way. My daughter’s digestive issues have improved dramatically, her weight gain has stabilized and she is able to make smart, informed decisions on her own. We cannot thank Gina enough for her time and positivity through this journey.“

“My teenage boys and I met with Gina to get a better idea of what foods to eat. She was a HUGE wealth of information. Both my boys now check each meal to make sure they are getting all the food groups and we now longer look at diet trends! Highly recommend Gina for eating healthier and feeling better!“
