Understanding Your Unique Nutritional Needs
Registered Dietitians begin their work with a comprehensive nutritional assessment tailored to each individual’s needs. This process typically involves reviewing medical history, current health status, lifestyle factors, dietary habits, and sometimes lab results or diagnostic information. Dietitians use this information to identify nutritional risks, deficiencies, or imbalances and to develop personalized nutrition care plans that align with the patient's health goals, medical conditions, and preferences.
Tailored Strategies for Your Health Goals
Based on the assessment, dietitians provide customized nutrition advice and intervention strategies. This can include meal planning, nutrient supplementation, or dietary modifications to manage or prevent conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, gastrointestinal disorders, food allergies, and eating disorders. In clinical settings, RDs work closely with physicians and other healthcare providers as part of an interdisciplinary team. In community or private practice settings, they may also offer group programs, workshops, and one-on-one counseling.
Investing in Your Long-Term Well-being
Beyond individualized treatment, Registered Dietitians in Alberta play a key role in nutrition education and health promotion.
