### Utilize Meal-Planning Apps

I've used meal-planning apps that allow clients to track their nutrition and make adjustments in real-time. This makes it easier for them to stick to their dietary goals and see progress faster.

### Conduct In-Person Cooking Workshops

One tool I’ve started to use as a dietitian is in-person cooking workshops. The in-person, hands-on experience provides members with confidence and education around making simple recipes. Teamwork and accomplishing tasks together help individuals stick with their nutrition goals and improve their overall food choices.

### Recommend Nutrition Science Podcasts

A great resource I share with patients and families is the Zoe Science and Nutrition podcast. Patients can listen to the most up-to-date nutrition science so that they can be great advocates for themselves as we set up a tailored nutrition plan for them.

### Offer Comprehensive Health Support App

At New York Bariatric Group, we have an innovative app for our patients called VHP (Virtual Health Partners). This app gives our patients 24/7 support in nutrition, behavioral health, and fitness. We have live groups and classes, as well as an On-Demand section that patients who are not comfortable in a group setting can still benefit from the same support and information. It includes nutrition follow-up 1:1 with our RDs, meal plans, recipes, food shopping lists, a message center to ask questions, and fitness videos for all levels and people with restrictions. It really supports the 'whole' person.
