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, providing evidence-based nutrition advice. The term "nutritionist" is not regulated, so it's important to confirm a professional's qualifications. An RD is a trusted source for reliable nutrition information.

Do you work with patients who have eating disorders?

Yes, Dr. Sydney 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 chronic kidney disease. How important is my diet?

Diet is critical for managing chronic kidney disease. A specialized renal diet, tailored by Dr. Sydney RD, is a primary treatment to control protein, sodium, and potassium levels, preserving kidney function and potentially delaying dialysis.

Dr. Sydney RD 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.

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.
