Nutrition is key to living a healthy lifestyle, but knowing what, how, and when to eat can be frustrating and confusing. Popular fad diets that are seen online or on TV often seem like an easy solution, but a personalized diet plan made just for you has maximum potential for success.

Registered Dietitian Nutritionists Can Help!

A Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) can help you understand healthy eating and work with you to develop a safe and realistic eating plan that you can stick with. Dietitians are trained experts in the science of nutrition and can advise others on healthy eating. All RDNs have a four-year degree, have completed an extensive program of practice, and have passed a registration exam.

Most dietitians keep up-to-date on their food and nutrition knowledge through ongoing professional education programs. Below are some common ways an RDN can assist you.

An RDN can help you understand how the foods you eat affect your condition. They can work with you to develop an eating plan that has all the nutrients you need to manage your condition.
