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

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

A Registered Dietitian (RD or RDN) is a credentialed healthcare professional who has completed extensive education and supervised practice, providing evidence-based nutrition advice. The term "nutritionist" is not regulated, so it does not guarantee a similar level of training or expertise. An RD provides reliable, science-backed guidance.

Your first visit with Dr. Belinda RD will be a comprehensive assessment, collaboratively creating a personalized nutrition plan. We'll review your health history, eating habits, lifestyle, and personal goals. This is the first step towards a realistic and sustainable plan for your nutritional needs.
