Your Questions, Answered
General Nutrition
A Registered Dietitian (RD) or Registered Nutritionist (RN) is a qualified health professional trained in nutrition science and medical nutrition therapy. They have completed extensive academic and practical training, including a bachelor's or master's degree in dietetics, supervised practice, and a national examination. Unlike general nutritionists or health coaches, RDs are licensed to provide medical nutrition therapy for various health conditions, ensuring evidence-based and personalized care.
A dietitian can provide personalized guidance for a wide range of nutritional needs and health goals. This includes weight management (loss or gain), managing chronic diseases like diabetes or heart disease, addressing food allergies or intolerances, improving sports performance, supporting maternal nutrition, and promoting overall healthy eating habits. They offer practical strategies, meal planning, and education tailored to your lifestyle and preferences.
Absolutely not! While weight management is a common reason people seek dietitian services, our expertise extends far beyond that. We help with a holistic approach to health, including improving energy levels, managing digestive issues, optimizing nutrition for specific health conditions, preventing nutrient deficiencies, and fostering a positive relationship with food. Our goal is to empower you to achieve optimal health and well-being through sustainable dietary changes.
Consultation Process
Initial consultations typically last 60-90 minutes. This extended time allows us to conduct a thorough assessment of your medical history, dietary habits, lifestyle, and personal goals. Subsequent follow-up appointments are usually 30-45 minutes, focusing on progress review, adjustments to your plan, and ongoing education and support.
To make the most of your first consultation, it's helpful to bring a few things: a list of your current medications and supplements, any recent blood test results or relevant medical reports (if available), and a brief food diary (even for just 2-3 days) detailing what you typically eat and drink. Also, come prepared with any questions or specific concerns you have regarding your diet and health.
