As a non-diet Registered Dietitian, I help ambitious young professionals learn how to nourish themselves without tracking calories, points, or macros, so they can feel free around food, achieve optimal health without focusing on the number on the scale, and get their life ready to build a family and career instead.
Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs) are trained to provide tailored recommendations and Medical Nutrition Therapy to help you improve your lifestyle. RDNs have an extensive background in nutrition science, successfully completed a one year accredited internship, passed a board exam, and maintain continuing education units to stay up to date with current research. All nutrition recommendations are evidence-based and individualized.
When working with an RDN, nutrition counseling sessions include helpful resources, small actionable steps, goal setting, and email support between sessions.
Unlike nutritionists or health coaches, Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs) can accept health insurance as they are licensed providers.
