Adolescents

Adolescent nutrition is complex and a good understanding of nutritional needs for optimal growth and development is essential. It is really important to engage the adolescent around their health concerns, I use motivational and behavioural counselling techniques to build rapport and help guide the young person to find a balance towards managing healthful eating practices.
