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

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 training and supervised practice. This differs from a "nutritionist," which is not a regulated title. RDs provide evidence-based, reliable nutrition advice.

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

Your first visit with Dr. Kelly RD 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.

What is Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT)?

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

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

While sample meal plans can be helpful, a personalized approach to weight loss focuses on sustainable lifestyle changes. We work together to understand your individual needs, teach portion control, and develop a healthier relationship with food for long-term success. This includes strategies beyond just a meal plan.

Do you work with patients who have eating disorders?

Yes, Dr. Kelly 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.

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

Diet is crucial for managing chronic kidney disease. A specialized renal diet, tailored by Dr. Kelly RD, is a primary treatment. It helps control protein, sodium, and potassium levels to preserve kidney function and potentially delay dialysis.

How can you help a patient undergoing cancer treatment?
