Registered Dietitian Nutritionists are food and nutrition experts who work in a wide variety of different settings, including healthcare, public health, private practice, education, and research. They often work with patients who are trying to lose weight and help them achieve their goals by designing a customized diet plan specific to their individual situations.

Dietitians support and counsel clients on how to make changes to their eating habits, preventing chronic illnesses such as diabetes, kidney disease, heart disease, high blood pressure, osteoporosis, and cancer. Using complex medical and nutrition research, they help their clients make daily food choices and plan healthy meals. They can help clients manage weight loss or weight gain, manage a medical condition with a special diet, alleviate food allergies and digestive problems, or simply help with interpreting nutrition facts on food labels.

There are many reasons to see a registered dietitian nutritionist, including:

• To Help Manage Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, or Other Chronic Diseases — An RDN can help patients understand their condition and how the foods they choose are affecting it.
• When Considering Having or Have Had Gastric Bypass Surgery — Following gastric bypass surgery, the stomach can only manage small servings, making it tricky to get the proper level of nutrients.
• When Experiencing Digestive Problems — Digestive problems can be caused by the wrong diet, and guidance provided by a dietitian can help patients make choices that do not aggravate their condition.
• When Pregnant or Trying to Get Pregnant — The body needs a lot of nutrients to function normally, and this need is even more significant when pregnant.
• When Experiencing Disordered Eating — Registered dietitian nutritionists counsel individuals with eating disorders, including bulimia and anorexia.
• Need to Gain or Lose Weight — A registered dietitian nutritionist can suggest calorie sources for healthy weight gain, or design a personalized weight loss plan for people planning on losing weight.
• For Practical Lifestyle Advice — After learning about the patient’s health history, favorite foods, and eating and exercise habits, a registered dietitian nutritionist will help them set goals and prioritize.
• To Improve Performance in Sports — Regardless of the type of sport or the patient’s desired performance goals, a registered dietitian nutritionist can help set the right goals to achieve the desired results.
• To Learn How to Cook Healthier Foods — A registered dietitian nutritionist can teach patients how to plan and prepare meals in a healthy, convenient, and efficient way, promoting home-cooked meals that provide well-balanced nutrition for the entire family.
