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. The term "nutritionist" is not regulated, so it's important to confirm credentials. An RD provides evidence-based, reliable nutrition advice.

What can I expect during my first visit with Dr. Stefanie Cuba?

Your first visit with Dr. Cuba 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.

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

Dr. Cuba 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.

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 like kidney disease, diabetes, and heart disease. MNT is often covered by insurance.

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