Tabula Rasa n. Latin, (tab”u”la, rãsã):
An opportunity to start from the
beginning, a blank slate.
What is Tabula Rasa?
"a
fresh start towards health"
Our experience has taught us that many
patients have endured a lifetime of
misguidance, mismanagement and
unwarranted information regarding
proper weight management.
As a result, Storch Medical Nutrition
Center has developed the Tabula Rasa
Nutrition Program. Tabula Rasa
(tab”u”la, râsâ) is the Latin term for an
opportunity to start from the beginning,
a blank slate.
Put all the past diets and dieting
misconceptions behind you and make a
fresh start towards health.
Tabula Rasa Staff |
The Tabula Rasa Nutrition Program is a
weight loss program originating from the
well-renowned Storch Medical Nutrition
Center. It has been carefully designed to
capture the dietary and exercise needs of
each patient, while ensuring a safe, effective
and healthy weight loss. The program
incorporates the most basic steps needed
for a healthy lifestyle: nutrition education,
behavior modification, and an individualized
eating and exercise plan.
The Tabula Rasa Nutrition Program is
different from typical weight loss programs in
that it’s developed and run by registered
dietitians and physicians who are experts in
nutrition and metabolism. The dietitians and
physicians work together to provide
the
patient with comprehensive quality care.
The program offers individual and group
counseling. With guidance from the
physician and dietitian, the patient
determines the eating plan and treatment
option that best suits their weight
management needs.
The cost of the program varies based on the
treatment options. Our providers participate
in a variety of insurance plans. Please call
the office for details. |
