Nutrition counseling at NPMD is for patients who need a more practical plan around food than generic meal rules or online advice can provide. In Encino, we use nutrition counseling to help patients build structure around satiety, protein intake, meal timing, consistency, and the daily habits that make broader weight or metabolic care more effective.
This is not about handing over a rigid meal plan and hoping compliance solves everything. Good nutrition counseling is about understanding what is actually happening in real life: long workdays, erratic hunger, stress eating, under-eating earlier in the day, low protein, poor recovery, or confusion about what to do while on a medication-based plan.
Nutrition counseling is often the right next step when patients feel overwhelmed by conflicting food advice or when weight support is being undermined by inconsistent habits. The goal is to make food strategy more actionable and easier to follow in the context of your real routine.
Your first visit usually reviews eating rhythm, protein and fiber intake, satiety, hydration, stress-related food patterns, work and travel demands, and whether current habits support the weight or metabolic outcome you actually want. We focus on what is workable, not what sounds ideal in theory.
For some patients, nutrition counseling becomes the foundation that makes medical weight loss or GLP-1 programs more successful. For others, it becomes the main treatment path because the biggest gap is not medication, but structure.
Medical weight loss is the broader physician-guided strategy. Nutrition counseling is the more focused conversation about what daily intake, meal structure, and food behavior should actually look like if the bigger plan is going to work. Some patients need both. Some need nutrition support first before adding anything else.

Good candidates usually have fine lines, crepey texture, mild laxity, or sun-related texture changes around the eyes and can follow a careful recovery plan. Consultation is important because under-eye hollows, prominent bags, pigment, eyelid heaviness, or significant loose skin may need a different treatment path.

NPMD; Amy, one of the smartest, kindest, compassionate and brilliant Nurse Practitioners. She offers expert medical care and medical advice in a way that you understand. When she examines you and reviews your medical issues, not one detail is missed. she explains treatment options for you in a manner that is precise, individualized and understandable. When she discusses your medical problems she is so kind, soft spoken, you can feel the discussion is coming from her heart, her deep understanding of medicine and human mankind. When you are with her YOU are not a patient with a chart number and a hurried 15 minute office visit. You are sitting with a person that makes you feel you count and that you are part of her medical family. I have been coming to NPMD since it's opening in Encino, Ca. The office is very clean and quite beautiful. George, RN is so nice and so smart as well. Amy's entire staff duplicate her and her vision for what 5 star medical care should be. By the way if you are thirsty the office has the best coffee, made just for you as well as a variety of cold healthy beverages to drink. The location is easy to get to and the parking is relatively inexpensive, compared to most LA parking. My husband comes here now and every time I get a chance I always recommend that my friends or just people I speak to come to NPMD. If you can just come and visit NPMD, I am well, thriving and very very happy with the care and attention I receive for this unbelievable practice. Thank You NPMD and Amy

NPMD is not your typical type of care — they are rare and one of a kind. The professionalism takes your entire expectation to the next level. Let me begin by saying, when you step into the clinic, it feels like a luxury health center. Amy has been a blessing sent to my family and me. I could go on about her forever. She values each and every one of her patients. She explains everything clearly and makes sure all of your questions are answered. My healthcare needs have become so much easier because of her. George goes above and beyond for us... He has been so patient and kind with my 10,000 questions. No matter how busy he is, he always makes sure to be available to help. One thing I can say is that he will be sure to cure you with his big smile and energy, even on your worst day. I just want to say your work made me look so flawless and natural. I’m so glad to have found you both. Thank you to you and your staff for making us all feel so welcomed. NPMD is where love, care, perfection, and excellence come together!!!
