A registered dietitian can recommend a personally tailored diet based off your health history, eating and exercise habits allowing the assessment and monitoring of goals. RDs also help manage nutritional therapy via chronic health conditions such as high cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes, cancer, food allergies, sensitivities and intolerances. Lastly, RDs can help you navigate through fad diets and provide guidance and motivation to assist you with mindful eating.
