Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Registered Dietitian Nutritionist care with Dr. Nara 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 experience. The term "nutritionist" is not regulated, so it doesn't guarantee the same level of education and experience. An RD provides evidence-based, reliable nutrition advice.

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

Your first visit with Dr. Nara 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 specific needs.

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

A specialized renal diet, guided by Dr. Nara RD, is crucial for managing chronic kidney disease. It's a primary treatment, not just support, helping preserve kidney function and potentially delaying dialysis by controlling protein, sodium, and potassium levels.

Do you work with patients who have eating disorders?

Yes, RDs are a critical part of the eating disorder treatment team. Dr. Nara works 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.

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.

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

Nutrition plays a crucial role in heart health. Dr. Nara RD can create a personalized plan emphasizing fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins, while reducing sodium and unhealthy fats. This natural approach is highly effective in preventing heart attack and stroke.

My child is a picky eater. Can you help?

Yes, dietitians work with families on pediatric nutrition. Dr. Nara RD can offer strategies to expand your child's palate, ensure they are meeting their nutrient needs for growth, and reduce mealtime stress for the whole family.

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

Dr. Nara 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.
