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. This differs from a "nutritionist," which is not a regulated title. An RD provides evidence-based, reliable nutrition advice.

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

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

I have IBS and other digestive issues. How can you help?

Dr. Bonni can act as a "food detective," helping identify foods that might be triggering your IBS and other digestive issues. Often, strategies like a low FODMAP diet are used to pinpoint and eliminate trigger foods, significantly reducing symptoms like bloating, gas, and discomfort, and improving your overall quality of life.

Do you work with patients who have eating disorders?

Yes, RDs are a critical part of the eating disorder treatment team. Dr. Bonni works collaboratively with therapists and doctors to help patients heal their relationship with food, establish regular eating patterns, and achieve nutritional rehabilitation in a supportive, non-judgmental way.

How can you help a patient undergoing cancer treatment?

Dr. Bonni can help manage treatment side effects like nausea and appetite loss, prevent weight loss, and maintain strength, which can help patients better tolerate their treatments.

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

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

How can nutrition help lower my high cholesterol and blood pressure?

A heart-healthy diet can significantly lower cholesterol and blood pressure, naturally preventing heart attack and stroke. Dr. Bonni RD can create a personalized plan emphasizing fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins, while also teaching you how to reduce sodium and unhealthy fats.
