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

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.

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Elizabeth LDN?

Your first visit with Dr. Elizabeth LDN will be a comprehensive assessment, involving a detailed review of your health history, eating habits, lifestyle, and personal health goals. This will be the first step in creating a realistic and sustainable personalized nutrition plan tailored to your unique needs.

What is Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT)?

Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) is an evidence-based, therapeutic approach to managing medical conditions using a personalized diet plan. A registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) provides this formal process to help manage diseases like kidney disease, diabetes, or heart disease, and it's often covered by insurance.

Can you help with nutrition during pregnancy?

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

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