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. 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. Stephanie RD?

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

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

While sample meal plans can be helpful, a successful weight loss journey involves more than just a meal plan. We focus on sustainable lifestyle changes, including understanding portion sizes and developing a healthy relationship with food for long-term success. This approach is more likely to lead to lasting results.

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

A heart-healthy diet plays a crucial role in managing high cholesterol and blood pressure. Dr. Stephanie RD 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 is an effective way to prevent heart attack and stroke.

Yes, registered dietitian nutritionists are a critical part of the eating disorder treatment team. Dr. Stephanie RD 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.

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

Dr. Stephanie RD can act as a "food detective," helping identify trigger foods that might be contributing to your IBS and digestive issues. She can often use strategies like a low FODMAP diet to significantly reduce symptoms like bloating, gas, and discomfort, improving your overall quality of life.

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.
