How Does Nutrition Counseling Work?

Nutrition counseling is an integral part of a comprehensive wellness program at Evolution. It’s important to note that nutrition counseling is different from classic dieting schemes. A certified nutritionist is a supportive resource in helping you make smarter choices for your body. They will work closely with you to understand your eating habits, identify problems and gaps in your nutrition, and suggest ways to incorporate healthy foods into your lifestyle. Taking a hands-on approach to your diet, your nutritionist will develop a customized plan that is sustainable, realistic, and best suited to your specific needs and goals.

Benefits of Nutrition Counseling

Nutrition counseling can help patients set and achieve short- and long-term health goals. Whether you’re looking to lose weight, gain better control of your diabetes, or boost your overall fitness, a nutritionist can offer expert advice for positive changes that make a real difference. Nutrition counseling has many benefits, including:

Better management of chronic conditions
Weight loss
Reduced pain and inflammation response
Improved mobility and joint function
Better quality of sleep
Healthy habits that last
Improved overall wellness
Better fitness results

Who Should Consider Nutrition Counseling?

Nutrition counseling is a therapeutic approach to food intake that includes patient education, individualized eating plans, and the empowerment to live a healthier lifestyle. People of all ages and activity levels can benefit from nutrition counseling. You may be a good candidate for nutrition counseling if you:

Are interested in achieving optimal health
Struggle with a weight problem
Are at a higher risk of developing certain diseases
Have various medical conditions
Suffer from food allergies or sensitivities

Get Your Body Fat Percentage Measurement

Analyzing your body composition, including your body mass index (BMI), is one way to achieve your weight loss goals. As part of our nutrition services, Evolution Physical Therapy offers a 30-minute body fat percentage measurement for patients to get a clear understanding of their fitness level. With this test, you can find out your body fat percentage, BMI, and specific body type. We’ll provide you with an in-depth explanation of your results and recommend appropriate exercises to get your health back on track. One of our physical therapists may refer you to a certified nutritionist for further counseling.

Doing PT for low back & hip pain. Kumiko is an outstanding Physical Therapist!

Response from the owner:Thank you for leaving this review, Mike! We are glad you are enjoying your experience at Evolution and with Kumi!

Dean Neiger

I can’t recommend Jennifer enough! She has been an incredible physical therapist, helping me recover from my shoulder issues with expertise and genuine care. From day one, she took the time to understand my concerns and created a personalized treatment plan that made a real difference. Her knowledge is impressive, and she explains everything in a way that’s easy to understand. Beyond that, she’s so caring and supportive, always making sure I feel comfortable and motivated throughout my recovery. If you're looking for a skilled and compassionate PT, Jennifer is the best!

Response from the owner:Thank you for the awesome review! We are thrilled that you are having a great experience with Jen and that your shoulder is doing better!

Ligia Gutierrez

This is my first time doing PT and Carole Gong has been great. She is very patient, friendly and has the best hands! She has been helping me with my occipital headaches.

Overall everyone has been very nice! I totally recommend the place.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review, Ligia! We are glad you are having a great experience at Evolution and that Carole has been helping you with your headaches!

Scott Wise

Evolution PT did wonders for my concussion recovery. Lindsay and Carole dedicated so much effort into helping me navigate that challenging time, treating my recovery with care and thoroughness. They approached it as a problem to be solved and carefully monitored my progress. I wouldn't hesitate to go back with any future issues!

Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review, Scott! We are happy that you had a good experience with Lindsay and Carole, and are feeling much better.

Craig Vassell

Overuse injuries are a fact of life for many performance athletes, and I’m incredibly grateful to have had Carole by my side throughout my training journey. I can’t recommend her and the whole team at Evolution PT enough! From the very beginning, she took the time to ask thorough questions and truly listen to my concerns, ensuring that every session was tailored to my specific needs and progress. Her ability to fine-tune my treatment helped me navigate a rigorous training schedule and a demanding Ironman race calendar—all without the need for surgery.

I don’t know if I could have gotten through it without her thoughtful support and encouragement every step of the way. Thankfully, I’ll never have to find out. I was able to stay strong, recover effectively, and achieve my goals—and I feel immense gratitude towards her and the entire team.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review, Craig! We are happy that Carole was able to help you through the whole process and help you get back to Ironmans and triathlons. Keep killing it out there!

Linda Elias

I have had 2 physical therapy sessions at Evolution Physical Therapy & Fitness to recover upper arm movement after I broke my upper arm. My physical therapist is Anna Lee, and she is wonderful and very responsive to my needs. The sessions and exercises to target my needs have been very good, and with a few more sessions, hopefully I will regain full upper are movement. I highly recommend Anna Lee.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the wonderful review, Linda! We are happy that you have been having a great experience with Anna.

arainer2009

I went to this clinic with chronic back pain, and I had an amazing experience overall. Everyone from the front desk to the support staff was purely amazing. The pt I worked with was really great at her job, and was incredibly knowledgeable about different exercises to do for my pain. I’ve been to a lot of clinics in the la area and this was definitely the best one I’ve been to. I would absolutely recommend this clinic to anyone I know. From now on this will be the only clinic I use in the la area. First class and 5 stars in every way shape and form.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the great review! Glad our whole team was able to help you out.

Loreanna Beatrice

ismail barati

I came to Evolution with a mild knee pain. My case is more complicated because of other health issues that I have.
Ana Lee is working with me and she spends the whole therapy time with me because of my other health issues. She is doing a wonderful job on me and my pain has gone 99% and I am getting stronger as times pass. This is my forth time that I am coming to Evolution for Physical Therapy and I have had excellent experience each time!

Liora Shofet

Jen is the BEST! She is so knowledgeable, patient and caring!

Response from the owner:Thanks for the wonderful review, Liora! Glad to hear you've had a great experience here!

Nelly Shams

I am beyond lucky to have Kara as my physical therapist. I could not have asked for better care. Kara is THE BEST, so knowledgeable, so patient, so motivating, and truly cares about her patients development and well-being. Kara has made physical therapy something I look forward to doing, which I didn’t think was possible. Cannot recommend her enough! Thank you Kara for helping me in my recovery after knee surgery, I hope you know the difference you make!

Response from the owner:Dear Nelly, Thank you so much for your incredibly kind words! I'm so glad to hear that Kara could make a difference in your rehabilitation process. Wishing you continued progress ahead!

Daphne Pea

Evolution was recommended by my surgeon from the Cedars-Sinai Kerlan-Jobe Institute. I'm recovering from a separated rotator cuff and torn bicep tendon in my right shoulder. The recovery time is estimated 12-18 months or more (wow).

Recovering is essential and a good PT is a must. Evolution has been exceptionally in taking care of all aspect of the processes i.e. working with the insurance company, writing and submitting medical reports to the appropriate medical providers and surgeon associates. It's lots of paperwork that they complete in a timely manner and with a smile.

The Physical Therapist (Anna Lee) is exemplary. Anna is an educator, explains and provide detail treatment information (videos of prescribe movements, and exercises necessary for recovering). She also is a strong communicator and explains the details in terms that are understandable and providing meaningful feedback, along with being a good listener, taking notes of as I explain any difficulties and symptoms I am experiencing.

Anna and the assistant PT are professional, the treatments and exercises are done with great care, they are very encouraging and positive/upbeat!

Evolution environment is very welcoming from checking in and all the services they provide.

My surgeon is very complementary to the reports and my progress.

Overall, I would highly recommend Evolution!

Response from the owner:Hi Daphne, Thank you immensely for taking the time to share such a detailed and glowing review of your experience at Evolution. We're thrilled to hear that our team, led by Anna Lee, has been able to support you effectively throughout your recovery journey. Creating a welcoming and supportive environment for our clients is always our top priority, and it's wonderful to know that you felt comfortable and encouraged throughout your visits. If there's anything more we can do to support you on your road to recovery, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Bart Nelson

I've lived a full active life with frequent Physical Therapy opportunities. I am currently recovering from a full knee replacement. I chose Evolution as a result of a recommendation from my at home PT immediately following surgery. I have been pleased with Evolution overall as they are well run, have convenient locations, clean up-to-date facilities, take insurance etc. However, the most important reason is the therapy itself. I was assigned Anna Lee who is helping me navigate one of the hardest situations I've ever been in. She is knowledgeable, professional, hard working, accountable and most of all, empathetic. This hasn't been easy, but it's likely the best PT experience I've had. I would recommend Anna to anyone and I assure you as I navigate this nasty thing called old age, I will seek her assistance in the future.

Response from the owner:Hi Bart, Thanks for the wonderful and thoughtful review! So glad to hear that you've been having a great experience at Evolution and particularly with Anna!

Rashelle L. (R. Lavi)

Kara has been amazing. She helped my 10 year old twins be pain free after having leg pain for 5 years. She was so thorough in her evaluation and throughout her therapy with them. She made PT so fun for them they looked forward to going. Kara is the best!

Response from the owner:Hi Rashelle, Thanks for the great review! So glad your twins had a wonderful and fun experience in PT with Kara!

James Smith

I highly recommend Evolution. Very professional staff who take a personal interest in the patients recovery process. I have been working with Jon who is very knowledgeable and has put together a rehab plan that has me recovering faster than I expected. Thanks so much!

Jennifer was very professional and helpful in treating my lower back problems. Through her expertise and a variety of techniques and exercises, I am now pain-free. I highly recommend her!

Response from the owner:So glad to hear Jennifer was able to help you get back to being pain-free! Thanks for your great review.

Dionne McNeff

Very professional from the moment you walk in through the whole experience. Everyone getting help is on a journey, and you see them being encouraged by caring PTs to get better, try a little harder. Erika is very knowledgeable and has helped me tremendously through many running injuries over a lot of years.

Response from the owner:Thanks for the kind great review, Dionne! Erika is wonderful and so happy to hear that she has been helping you on your journey!

I had a great experience at Evolution PT. The facilities are clean & everyone is so friendly. My therapist, Mitchell, was super knowledgeable, professional and patient with me. He helped me develop an exercise plan for my torn meniscus that has so far helped me avoid the need for surgery. Highly recommend Evolution PT.

Response from the owner:Thanks for the review! Happy to hear you were able to avoid surgery with Mitchell's help!

Lorenzo Gentile

I came to Evolution from a doctor’s recommendation after a knee injury prevented me from running. 8 weeks later I am back to running pain free!

My physical therapist Jen was super knowledgeable and taught me a lot about my body and what I need to do to be able to run and operate at peak performance for the rest of my life! I had to work hard for it but with Jen’s guidance my progress was very consistent!

Response from the owner:Thanks for the great review Lorenzo! Happy to hear that you are back to running pain-free with Jen's help!

Bobbi ODonnell

I have chronic back and hip issues; although a candidate for surgery postponing indefinitely. After a few searches and reviews decided to try this location. Front desk team were helpful and informative regarding insurance plan (Medicare+supplemental). Easy to schedule. There is metered and side street parking. I always found a spot. Be prepared and patient though.

Erica Seto was awesome; she reviewed my both MRIs provided comforting feedback, explained her process. I had my own patient portal so I could continue the recommended exercises at home.

I practice Tai Chi regularly, she helped identify why I had issues with some of the poses; easy corrections.

Highly recommend Erica and this location. This is an active and lively location. Very upbeat and positive team.

Response from the owner:Thanks for the wonderful review! We're so happy that Erika was able to help you avoid surgery and get you feeling better!

Rick Chinelli

Hello. My name is Vivian Chinelli. I highly recommend my physical therapist, Jonathan Bernfeld. He is extremely knowledgeable, professional, encouraging and fun! He's helped me move through my range of motion issues caused by frozen shoulder very quickly. Just a few more tweaks and I'll be free and clear of movement and pain issues.

Response from the owner:Vivian, thanks for your wonderful review! So glad that Jon is getting you back to 100%!

Joe Feldman

Mitchell McLaughlin has truly helped me by taking the time to access my injury and by continually adjusting my stretching/strengthening routine. His knowledge of the body and concern and care for my injury make him a truly effective physical therapist. My injury is 5 years old and he’s the first one to address the root causes of my injury. I’m stronger and in less pain after only 4 weeks of pt. The environment at Evolution PT is open and easy going. Always greeted with a smile, and cancelling/rescheduling (w/24 hours notice) is simple. There is ample street parking in all directions.

Response from the owner:Thanks for the great review, Joe! Glad to hear that you're getting better with the help of Mitchell!

Stewart levin

Jonathan Bernfeld is a truly knowledgeable and gifted physical therapist— he understands anatomy and is highly skilled. And he really cares about his patients. Jonathan substantially improved my pain and stiffness. I would definitely recommend John for anyone in need of physical therapy.

Baolu Lan

I came to Evolution Physical Therapy to heal a knee injury so I could get back to training for my next marathon. Dr. Carole Gong has been absolutely wonderful in assessing my weaknesses and teaching me the exercises I need to build strength and heal quickly. She is compassionate and, as a runner herself, understands how important the sport is to me. More importantly, having a reliable physical therapy program gives you the confidence and freedom to know that you are on the path to recovery so you can get back to doing the life activities you love. The patients here come from a wide spectrum of backgrounds in their physical needs, from post-surgery healing to age-related mobility issues to athletic people recovering from injuries. Everyone is welcome. The Evolution facilities in Beverly Hills are clean and well maintained, and the front desk is well organized and efficiently run with scheduling and billing. Highly recommended!

Response from the owner:Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad to hear you are regaining the confidence to get back to doing what you love! See you at the next finish line!

Daniel Elihu

Jennifer is a life saver. She is kind, patient, methodical and professional. If you need physical therapy, don’t look elsewhere. I have been there and done that.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the kind review, Daniel!

Sheila Walton

Evolution PT has been excellent for strengthening my neck to return to running.
Carol Gong has been my PT therapist. She’s very professional and experienced. I’ve gotten the tools /exercises to become aware of what I can do myself @ home to relieve neck pain, strengthen neck/shoulders/back and continue my running routine. Evolution works with you with exercises @ each session. It gets you into the routine of doing the important exercises!

Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the review. Glad to hear you are back to running pain free!
