Nutrition Coaching and Dietician Services
Whether you are looking for general nutrition advice, custom meal plans, or need medical nutrition therapy Legacy Wellness Partners is here to help. Our providers can provide a wide variety of nutritional practices based on the local legal guidelines in the state of Maryland. Many people are unaware that if an individual has a medical condition, which include mental health disorders, only a Licensed Dietetic Nutritionist can legally provide those services. While many individuals claim to be “Nutritionists” this title is actually reserved for individuals who have passed the state licensure exam and have completed approximately 1000 hours in a clinical internship under the supervision of a licensed supervisor. Legacy Wellness Partners prides itself on providing best in class nutrition counseling and being able to practice legally in Maryland and many others with similar regulations. Regardless of your goal or condition Legacy Wellness Partners can help with nutrition and supplementation to improve overall function and quality of life.

Mind-Body Connection
Legacy Wellness Partners is aware that all too often our sensations and emotions are a way for the body to communicate with us directly. However, many individuals are not good at translating what the body is trying to tell it and sometimes we misunderstand our own bodies and respond in a way that can be inappropriate or even dangerous. Our practitioners use a wide array of strategies to improve this connection or what the scientists call interoception. By drawing on methods of meditation and mindfulness practices, somatic work, shouting, breath work, Qi Gong, Tai Chi, Yogic practices and more we can become more in tune with our bodies and have more control over our responses to the way we feel, and the situations life gives us. By combining strategies that have been scientifically shown to reduce stress with eastern traditions we can reduce cortisol and inflammation, improve hormone production, increase neural plasticity, improve our immune systems, and increase our ability to focus and be productive

Staff Education
Legacy Wellness Partners understands that we cannot work with everyone individually no matter how much we may want to. With this in mind, we can train your staff on how they can incorporate and teach healthy practices with their patients and clients. Furthermore, it is frustrating for the staff and the patients alike when they receive mixed messages. Between the endless amount of bad health and wellness information on the internet and the outdated (and often incorrect) information many people learned in school it can be challenging to decipher what is true and useful wellness advice versus what is garbage. Our staff education programs give you and your professionals the ability to provide a unified message based in science and legitimate evidence. While your staff should still refer out to qualified professionals for specifics like injury rehabilitation and medical nutrition we can give your staff the knowledge they need to guide their patients and clients on the correct path. Legacy Wellness Partners would be happy to work with your team so they can provide helpful and productive information to your clients.
