Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Registered Dietitian Nutritionist care with Dr. Angel RD:

What is the difference between a Registered Dietitian (RD) and a nutritionist?

A Registered Dietitian (RD or RDN) is a credentialed healthcare professional with extensive education and supervised practice experience. The term "nutritionist" is not regulated, so it does not ensure a consistent level of training or expertise. An RD provides evidence-based, reliable nutrition advice.

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Angel RD?

Your first visit with Dr. Angel RD will be a comprehensive and collaborative assessment. We will review your health history, eating habits, lifestyle, and personal health goals. This is the first step in creating a realistic and sustainable personalized nutrition plan for you.

I have a food allergy or sensitivity. How can a dietitian assist?

Dr. Angel RD can help identify hidden sources of allergens in foods, create a balanced and varied diet that avoids the trigger food, and ensure you are still getting all the necessary nutrients.

Do you work with patients who have eating disorders?

I want to lose weight. Can you just give me a meal plan?

While sample meal plans are helpful, a personalized approach focusing on sustainable habits, portion control, and a healthy relationship with food is key to long-term weight management success. We work with you to create a plan that fits your lifestyle and needs, not just a temporary meal plan.

Can you help with nutrition during pregnancy?

Yes, proper nutrition is crucial during pregnancy for both the mother and developing baby. Dr. Angel RD can provide guidance on key nutrients, healthy weight gain, and managing pregnancy-related issues like gestational diabetes or nausea.
