Our specialists can help you find the right path forward!
What you eat significantly impacts your overall health. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean protein can significantly reduce your risk of developing chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease, certain types of cancer, stroke and high blood pressure. Beyond disease prevention, a healthy diet supports a healthy weight, boosts energy levels, enhances mood and improves cognitive function.
Our registered dietitian nutritionists (RDNs) play an important role in your weight loss journey. They will assess your needs, offer evidence-based recommendations and help you develop a plan that fits your lifestyle in order to reach your nutrition and weight loss goals.
Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs) are qualified healthcare professionals who specialize in food, nutrition and wellness. They are held to high standards of practice and are committed to staying up-to-date with the latest research, trends and evidence-based strategies in health and nutrition.
Becoming an RDN requires meeting strict academic and professional criteria established by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics. This includes earning at least a bachelor’s degree with a specially-designed nutrition curriculum, completing an accredited internship, passing a national registration exam and participating in continuing education to maintain expertise and licensure throughout their career.
RDNs are the only licensed health care professionals who can provide medical nutrition therapy – personalized, evidence based nutrition care designed to manage and improve specific health conditions. Medical nutrition therapy plays a vital role in disease prevention and management.
There are many reasons to seek the guidance of a registered dietitian, including:
• Managing chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease or gastrointestinal disorders
• Supporting women’s nutrition needs during pregnancy, lactation and menopause
• Addressing food allergies or intolerances
• Developing safe and effective plans for weight loss, gain or maintenance
• Promoting healthy aging and disease prevention
Whether you’re facing a new diagnosis, aiming to enhance your wellness or simply want expert advice on how to eat better, RDNs provide trusted, individualized support to help you achieve your health goals. Our team is here to support you toward long-lasting success!
