Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Registered Dietitian Nutritionist care with Dr. Sue 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 education and supervised practice experience.

Dr. Sue RD can help you optimize your sports performance by developing a personalized nutrition plan. This plan will fuel your workouts, aid in recovery, build muscle, and ensure proper hydration for peak athletic achievement.

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