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

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 experience.

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Kimberly Andreola?

Your first visit with Dr. Andreola 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 needs.

What is Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT)?

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

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

Nutrition plays a crucial role in heart health. Dr. Andreola 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 can effectively lower cholesterol and blood pressure, preventing heart attack and stroke.

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

Dr. Andreola 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.

My child is a picky eater. Can you help?

Dr. Andreola works with families to address picky eating in children. She can offer strategies to expand a child's palate, ensure they are meeting their nutrient needs for growth, and reduce mealtime stress for the whole family.

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

A specialized renal diet, guided by Dr. Andreola, is crucial for managing chronic kidney disease. It's a primary treatment, not just supportive care, as it helps preserve kidney function and control protein, sodium, and potassium levels, potentially delaying dialysis.

I have IBS and other digestive issues. How can you help?

Dr. Andreola can act as a food detective, helping identify foods that trigger your IBS and other digestive issues.
