At AFM, we use our advanced knowledge of medicine, nutrition, and dietetics to provide comprehensive nutritional guidance for patients with a variety of concerns. You will receive dietary advice and guidance that adapts to your changing nutritional needs. As with every other area of our expertise, we are committed to not only addressing nutrition and health problems as they occur but preventing future complications with a holistic approach for a lifetime of good health.
Adult Weight Loss
Some patients find that maintaining a healthy weight becomes increasingly difficult as they age. We’ll develop a nutrition strategy that helps you achieve your ideal weight through a combination of healthy eating, regular exercise and preventive care.
