Tampa Bay, like any other place, has its positives and negatives, but some of those negatives can impact your health.

Lack of Health Equity

Tampa is a diverse city in many different ways. Unfortunately, Tampa has a lack of health equity, which means that its residents don’t have equal access to healthcare or health-focused practices. This lack of health equity stems from several different issues within the Tampa area that make access to healthcare difficult for many Tampa residents to find.

Certain factors like transportation, neighborhood location, income, and education all play a factor in whether Tampa residents can get adequate healthcare. Without access to healthcare, people living in Tampa can’t reach their optimal health. Personalized nutritional counseling can help people living in Tampa get access to quality nutrition knowledge and wellness plans.

Food Desert

A food desert exists in places where it is difficult for residents to find affordable or good-quality fresh food. Since 2020, food deserts have impacted Tampa, Florida residents in a way that is detrimental to their health. According to ABC News, experts expect prices to continue to rise, which will make the current food desert situation in Tampa worse. 

A nutritionist can help you navigate Tampa’s food deserts, giving you expert advice and meal plans to help you get nutrition support in Tampa. Food deserts can be dangerous for anyone in need of special diets or foods, like someone with diabetes or high cholesterol.

Poor Transportation Structure

In addition to the lack of health equity and the food deserts in Tampa, a poor transportation structure can also negatively impact a person’s health. Five years into the Sentinel Communities Surveillance Project, Tampa, Fl, has made some improvements in the promotion of healthy living for Tampa residents. This helps Tampa residents from all over, including those familiar with places like Land O Lakes, New Port Richey, Pinellas Park, Wesley Chapel, and Tarpon Springs.

But there are still some areas of growth in Tampa that make it very difficult for residents to have access to good nutrition and food. Tampa has a poor transportation structure that creates the city’s biggest transportation challenges. Without adequate transportation, residents can’t easily get their hands on quality nutritional foods.

Full Transparency Pros and Cons

When looking for the best nutritionist, it is a good idea to consider the pros and cons of working with a virtual nutritionist compared to an in-person nutritionist.

In-Person Nutrition Counseling

Pros

  • When working with an in-person nutritionist, you may know friends and family who have had experiences with that specific nutritionist. Your friends and family might be able to give you insight into what it is like working with that particular nutritionist, which is the insight you likely will not receive when working within a larger pool of online nutritionists. They may also easily share what health insurance providers these nutrition clinics accept. Depending on the insurance providers accepted, you may choose a different nutrition clinic.
  • You may prefer working with an in-person nutritionist if you value the opportunity to observe someone’s body language in person. When you meet virtually, you will likely only see them from the shoulders and up. You can read a person’s facial expressions online, but it can be harder to see certain hand gestures.
  • If you have a shorter attention span, working with an in-person nutritionist may be more valuable. Some individuals who are easily distractible struggle to sit and stare at a screen for long periods of time and take information in. 

Cons

  • Working with an-in person nutritionist limits you to only the people you’re willing to drive to for nutritional counseling. You will need to determine if the nutritionists in your area are well-qualified and a good match for you. This research can take quite some time, depending on how many nutritional practices you’re researching.
  • You will have to consider parking, traffic, and the weather each time you go out for your appointments. You will have to take all of these things into consideration when you plan to visit your nutritionist as these things can add time to your commute. You would need to leave earlier on some days to make it to your appointment on time.
  • In-person nutritionists tend to be more expensive compared to online nutrition services. The rates of in-person nutritionists are most likely higher due to the fact that the cost of renting a physical space for the practice, as well as the costs associated with running a private practice, are typically higher than the costs associated with running a virtual practice.

Online meal plans

Pros

  • If you’re aware of your nutritional needs, you can specifically search for an online meal plan to help you reach your health goals. If you’re a vegetarian or prefer to eat more fish than red meat, you can narrow your search to these specifications to find a meal plan for you.
  • An online meal plan can help you save time when it comes to grocery shopping, meal preparation, and possibly even cooking. 

Cons

  • It might be hard to find a meal plan that helps a person with multiple health goals or needs. If you’re lactose intolerant and eat a vegetarian diet, it may be harder to find a meal plan that is right for you.
  • These meal plans may not be customizable, so you will have to adjust the meal plan to fit your caloric needs or doctor recommendations.

Diet companies

Pros

  • Diet companies can help you achieve weight loss, and many of them can help you reach your weight goals quickly. Some of these diet companies may have years of experience helping clients reach their weight loss goals, so they’ve determined the best practices to help clients lose weight.
  • Working with a diet company can help you meet people with similar health goals. These people could possibly serve as accountability partners for you as your work toward reaching your weight loss goals.

Cons

  • Some diet companies will use extreme weight loss practices that can lead to you losing weight quickly and gaining it all back, and more. The practices they use aren’t sustainable and can be harmful.
  • Diet companies don’t necessarily teach you how to properly nourish your body, but instead they give you tactics to lose weight. Losing weight is not the same as nourishing your body, building muscle, and getting fit.
