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

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's important to verify a practitioner's credentials to ensure they have the necessary training and expertise.

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Holly Wong?

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

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

While sample meal plans can be helpful, a personalized approach focusing on sustainable habit changes, understanding portion sizes, and developing a healthy relationship with food is key to long-term weight management success. We work together to create a plan tailored to your individual needs and preferences. This goes beyond a simple meal plan and emphasizes lifestyle modifications for lasting results.

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. MNT is often covered by insurance.

Do you work with patients who have eating disorders?

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

I have chronic kidney disease. How important is my diet?

Diet is crucial for managing chronic kidney disease. A specialized renal diet, guided by Dr. Holly Wong, is a primary treatment, helping preserve kidney function and potentially delaying dialysis by controlling protein, sodium, and potassium levels.

How can you help a patient undergoing cancer treatment?

Dr. Holly Wong 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 IBS and other digestive issues. How can you help?

Dr. Wong can act as a "food detective," helping identify foods that may be triggering your IBS symptoms. Strategies like a low FODMAP diet can often significantly reduce bloating, gas, and discomfort, improving your overall digestive health and quality of life.
