Diet and Nutritional Counseling
Personalized Nutrition Support for Health and Healing
Food is one of the most powerful medicines available, and at Dr. Jeri Lynn Otterstrom’s practice in Eugene, OR, we take nutritional health seriously. Our diet and nutritional counseling services are designed to help patients understand how their food choices are affecting their health and to develop sustainable, personalized nutrition strategies that support healing and long-term wellness.
Many chronic health conditions — including autoimmune disease, hormonal imbalances, digestive disorders, cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, and chronic inflammation — have significant nutritional components that are often overlooked in conventional care. Addressing dietary patterns is frequently one of the most powerful interventions available.
Nutritional counseling at our practice may address topics including anti-inflammatory and elimination diets, blood sugar regulation, gut microbiome support, therapeutic food protocols for specific conditions, micronutrient deficiencies, optimal macronutrient balance, and the identification of foods that may be triggering symptoms.
Laboratory testing often plays an important role in nutritional guidance. Testing for food sensitivities, micronutrient levels, inflammatory markers, and digestive function helps identify specific nutritional needs and guides precise supplementation recommendations that go beyond a one-size-fits-all approach.
We also recognize that sustainable dietary change requires more than just knowing what to eat — it requires practical strategies, meal planning support, and an understanding of the psychological and social factors that influence food choices. Our counseling addresses all of these dimensions to help patients make real and lasting changes.
Special nutritional considerations are also provided for patients in specific life stages or situations, including pregnancy, postpartum recovery, menopause, athletic performance, pediatric nutrition, and the nutritional needs of patients managing chronic illness or recovering from surgery.
