Enhancing Your Care with a Dietary Evaluation

As the role of nutrition continues to grow in importance for overall health, inflammation control, weight management, diabetes, cardiovascular health, energy, and recovery, having the right tools to assess dietary behavior is becoming more important.

At Midwest Spine & Nerve Center in Madison, WI, we use NutraScreen technology to help determine your personal dietary and nutritional needs so our team can develop a program designed around your individual health goals.

Improving Health Through Nutrition

NutraScreen is a state-of-the-art online nutrition questionnaire that asks about the foods you eat and provides information that helps healthcare professionals create personalized nutritional recommendations. NutraScreen was developed through National Institutes of Health funded research and uses a scientifically validated methodology.

In about 20 minutes, NutraScreen captures a complete dietary history and performs a detailed analysis of your current dietary behavior.

Specific, personalized, concrete, and actionable recommendations are the hallmarks of the NutraScreen approach. This technology helps your healthcare professional incorporate meaningful dietary recommendations into your comprehensive care plan.

You do not have to spend hours or days logging information, and no time is wasted translating food history into nutritional values such as calories and fat.

Individual Dietary Guidelines Established

NutraScreen takes into account factors that make nutritional needs unique, including age, gender, and dietary responses. Your information is compared to established dietary guidelines to produce a nutritional profile that includes 140 nutrients and food components.

This profile is presented in easy-to-read reports that highlight the foods and dietary behaviors most affecting key nutrient intake. The report can also help identify where nutritional deficiencies may be likely to exist, helping you and your healthcare provider focus on meaningful changes that may produce better results.
