September 05, 2007 - TENAFLY, NEW JERSEY – Did you avoid bathing suit season? Feeling rundown? Want to maximize your health or physical performance?
Bitwine, the online provider of “Trusted Advice from Real People,” has created a Nutrition Advisors’ Network to assist dieters, athletes, and other health-conscious individuals with reaching their health and fitness potential. Bitwine leverages the technology of Skype™ and Paypal™ to provide instant audio and video connections between users and advisors.
“At Bitwine, our goal is to link consumers with skilled, experienced professionals who know how to help optimize their health and actualize their goals,” says Alon Cohen, BitWine’s cofounder. “Because we work only with licensed dieticians and nutritionists, consumers are guaranteed to receive the most relevant, cutting-edge – and safe – information they can use in their quest for improved health.”
Elisa Itkowitz, RD, LDN, one of Bitwine’s nutrition advisors, emphasized that patients who contact her via Skype get the same care as in-office patients. “Before I provide a patient with any nutrition information during my basic consultation, I accentuate the fact that we are dealing with science. Weight loss is a deeply frustrating issue for many people, many of whom have been on and off various diets for a significant portion of their lives. My job is to make sure their weight loss is safe, effective, and lasting.”
Advisors such as Elisa can be found on the Nutrition Advisors’ website, 24 hours a day/7 days a week. BitWine’s features are designed to promote instant rapport between the service purchaser and supplier. Clients visit the site, choose a Registered Dietitian or a professional nutritionist, and initiate a call via Skype. Introductions are free, and clients are only charged upon a mutual agreement between their advisor and themselves. Both advisors and clients are asked to provide immediate feedback following the call, ensuring that both parties are on the same page, working in a cooperative fashion.
“Bitwine’s Nutrition Advisors’ Network creates a safe, comfortable opportunity for clients to meet with licensed professionals, with no risk and without the stress of sitting in traffic or waiting rooms. It also puts us at the forefront of preventative medicine, where clients can act proactively to protect their health, rather than waiting until after a medical condition arises,” concludes Alon.
