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

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 a rigorous academic program and supervised practice. The term "nutritionist" is not regulated, and therefore does not guarantee a specific level of education or experience. An RD provides evidence-based, reliable nutrition advice.

Dr. Lynnette ND can create a personalized plan rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins, while teaching you how to reduce sodium and unhealthy fats. This natural approach is an effective way to prevent heart attack and stroke.

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

We work with you to create a plan tailored to your individual needs and lifestyle.

What is Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT)?

Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) is an evidence-based, therapeutic approach to managing medical conditions through a personalized diet plan.
