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

A Registered Dietitian (RD or RDN) is a credentialed healthcare professional with extensive education and supervised practice experience. In contrast, "nutritionist" is not a regulated title. RDs provide evidence-based, reliable nutrition advice.

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Katelyn Uhlig?

Your first visit with Dr. Uhlig 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 needs.

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

A heart-healthy diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins, can significantly lower high cholesterol and blood pressure, naturally preventing heart attack and stroke. Dr. Uhlig can create a personalized plan to help you reduce sodium and unhealthy fats, empowering you to take control of your heart health.

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. A registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) provides this formal process to help manage diseases such as kidney disease, diabetes, or heart disease. It's often covered by insurance.

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

Dr. Uhlig 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.

Do you work with patients who have eating disorders?

Dr. Uhlig is a critical part of the eating disorder treatment team, working 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?

An oncology dietitian, like Dr. Uhlig, provides nutritional support during cancer treatment. They help manage treatment side effects such as nausea and appetite loss, prevent weight loss, and maintain strength, all of which can improve a patient's ability to tolerate their treatments.

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 habits, portion control, and a healthy relationship with food is key for long-term weight management success.
