First, the clinical nutritionist will ask you questions about your medical
history, family history, and personal lifestyle. The medical history might
include questions about your diet, digestion, history of weight loss or
gain, family health history, sleep and exercise patterns, and relaxation
habits. Some clinical nutritionists will ask you to bring a food diary and
list of any herbs, supplements, or medicines that you take regularly.
Laboratory tests might be used to find out if you are low in any nutrients
and to test your organ function. This way, a nutritionist will get a full
picture of your nutritional lifestyle.
