Nutrition Advice Built on Your Results
Most diet advice starts from a template. Ours starts from your results. Our nutritional and dietary counseling gives you customized guidance based on allergy testing and on your own needs and goals, so every food you add or remove has a reason behind it.
That guidance is one part of a wider integrative plan. Through orthomolecular medicine, we look for nutritional deficiencies and work to bring your micronutrient levels where they should be, using customized oral and IV dosing of vitamins and minerals.
What Your Plan Can Include
- Food guidance shaped by your allergy testing
- Testing for nutritional deficiencies
- Targeted vitamins and minerals taken by mouth
- IV nutrient dosing when it suits your plan
- Supplement and injection support for weight goals

Nutritional Consulting Questions, Answered
What Scottsdale patients ask before their first nutrition visit.
What does a holistic or integrative nutrition consult involve?
We review your history, symptoms, diet and goals, then use testing such as allergy testing and blood or urine panels to see what your body needs. From there we build food guidance and, when needed, targeted vitamins and minerals as part of your wider medical care.
Is a dietitian or a nutritionist more qualified?
Registered dietitians hold a specific credential, while the title nutritionist is used more broadly. Here, nutritional counseling comes from a medical team, Dr. Isaac Yosef and Lina Kay, PA-C, MS, so diet advice is connected to your testing, medications and medical history.
How much does nutritional consulting cost in Scottsdale, AZ?
Cost depends on the testing and treatments your plan includes, so there is no single price. We review the options and their costs with you at your consultation, before anything begins.
Do I need allergy testing before getting nutrition advice?
Our dietary counseling is built around allergy testing along with your individual needs and goals, so testing is usually part of the first steps. Which tests make sense for you is decided together at your first visit.
Can nutritional consulting help with weight loss?
Weight goals are one of the reasons patients come to us. Alongside food guidance, we offer oral supplements and injection therapies that support weight loss, chosen to fit your health picture and test results.
Will I need supplements or IV nutrients?
Not always. When testing points to deficiencies, we may recommend customized oral or IV dosing of vitamins and minerals. If food changes alone cover what you need, the plan stays there.
Can a nutrition plan help with IBS, SIBO or histamine intolerance?
Diet is often one part of care for digestive conditions. Lina Kay, PA-C, MS, focuses on gastrointestinal disorders, including SIBO and SIFO, IBS and histamine intolerance, so your food plan is shaped with those conditions in mind.
