The Truer Path is a Functional Nutrition Counseling service offering convenient, holistic and cooperative, diet, lifestyle and nutrition counseling
in keeping with the practices of functional medicine and the proven strategies of the Functional Nutrition Alliance, founded by Andrea Nakayama.
Like our mentor, at the Truer Path, it’s our intent to work in partnership with you to help you to find the answers you've been seeking and gain the knowledge to renew and restore your health and help you to thrive again. It's what you do between the visits with health and medical professionals that matters most. We'll help you uncover the practices that best suit your specific and unique needs, as well as your goals for healing and optimal health.
Q. So, what happens when you take that first step and engage with me, David Morin, a graduate of the Functional Nutrition Alliance and Certified Nutritional Counselor?
A. We provide a free Strategy Session to all perspective clients. Its a 15-20 minute session to get to know you and help each of us decide if the Truer Path is right for you. Just complete a short questionnaire and request an appointment for your Strategy Session, which can be completed over zoom or by phone; or if convenient, in person.
For those desiring to journey with Truer Path Services, you'll sign up for an account which will allow us to share information back and forth securely to protect your health and medical privacy.
The first session is a dedicated Health History Session that typically lasts one hour.
The second session is a nutrition counseling session. We will review the details of your case prior to the session and then discuss together details and make recommendations for immediate next steps that will help you along your path to better health. Upon conclusion of the Primary Case Review, you’ll receive a completed Health History Timeline , Functional Nutrition Matrix and Action Form. These are your Functional Nutrition “Starter Kit,” and these documents will be your roadmap for understanding your health issues through the unique functional nutrition lens and guide you in taking the next steps for your health in your journey forward.
For some, these two sessions conclude their work with us. In other cases, with more complex and tangled health histories, we recommend a series of nutrition counseling sessions. The advantage of these regular visits and touch points is that we can take the time necessary to truly uncover what's at play. (As Andrea likes to remind us, it took a lifetime for these symptoms to develop and often takes dedicated and hard work to uncover the roots).
There are two options for purchasing ongoing sessions, outlined below:
- Option One:
Purchase individual sessions. Sessions are scheduled 2-4 weeks apart from each other.
- Option Two
The Primary Counseling Membership Package includes six 30-45 minute sessions paced according to your needs and abilities and is designed to be completed within a six-month time frame.
The recommendation around how we continue our work together is made in the second session of the Primary Case Review and is decided upon in partnership with you. It is our goal to find the right fit for your needs!
Your health and wellness are our priority. Our financial policy allows us to provide you with access to the best nutrition and lifestyle care available and does not limit your care to what is covered by health insurance policies. Like many functional medicine practices, the Truer Path counseling services are an out-of-pocket expense. We’re unable to provide insurance billing codes or NPI numbers, which is outside of our scope of practice as nutrition and lifestyle professionals, but we are happy to partner with any other practitioners on your team.
