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

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Sarah Mott?

Your first visit with Dr. Mott will be a comprehensive and collaborative assessment. We will review your complete health history, eating habits, lifestyle, and personal health goals. This is the first step in creating a realistic and sustainable personalized nutrition plan.

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. Dr. Mott will work with you to create a plan tailored to your individual needs and lifestyle.

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