What the Nutritionist Client Intake Form Covers
A good intake form gathers the information you need before the first session begins. Foodzilla's free template covers the key areas that matter most in a nutrition consultation:
- Personal details: name, date of birth, contact information, and GP or healthcare provider.
- Medical history: current and past conditions relevant to nutrition and health.
- Current medications and supplements, including dosages.
- Known food allergies, intolerances, and dietary restrictions.
- Dietary preferences and eating patterns, including any cultural or religious considerations.
- Lifestyle factors: occupation, sleep, stress levels, and physical activity.
- Health goals and what the client hopes to achieve from nutrition support.
Why a Solid Intake Form Improves First Consultations
When clients complete an intake form before their first appointment, you arrive at the consultation already informed about their situation. There's no need to spend the first 15 minutes asking basic questions, so you can direct the conversation towards their goals and concerns straight away.
Intake forms also help catch important information early. A client who mentions a particular medication on the form may need a dietary approach that accounts for drug-nutrient interactions. A client who lists a recent diagnosis gives you the context to tailor your recommendations from the outset. Catching these details before the appointment, rather than during it, makes a real difference to the quality of care you can provide.
Move from Paper to Digital Client Management
A printed intake form is a practical tool for any practice. Once you've built a relationship with a client, moving that information into a digital system makes ongoing management easier. Foodzilla's full platform lets you create client profiles that store health details, dietary preferences, allergens, and goals alongside their meal plans and progress records.
New clients can be invited to complete their profile information through Foodzilla's secure client portal before their first appointment. Their details flow directly into their profile, saving you time and reducing the chance of transcription errors. Try the full platform free for 10 days with no card required.
