It can be intimidating to schedule an appointment with your new healthcare provider. You are wondering what a registered dietitian (RD) can do. Rest assured that the RDs at Case Specific Nutrition (CSN) are here to help. To prepare for your first visit, here are a few things your RD wants you to know:

1. You are courageous. I'm proud of you for realizing that you can't do this alone and seeking out an expert health professional, rather than trying the trendy diet you saw on TikTok. It takes bravery to reach out, schedule an appointment, show up and be vulnerable because, let's face it, food is personal.
2. You won't be judged. Dietitians are not the food police. I won't judge you if you eat fast food every day or even if you want to KEEP eating fast food every day. If you're not sure if you want to give up your current diet like keto or beach body, I will meet you where you are to help you achieve YOUR goals. I will give you my honest opinion, but you decide where we go from there.
4. Your life is about to change forever. Once you start working with a dietitian, you'll relate to food in a whole new way and finally understand the root of your eating behaviors. You'll have an arsenal of knowledge and tools that you will be able to use to make informed food decisions for the rest of your life!

Working with an RD can be very impactful and bring peace to your body and mind. Whether you are struggling with food intolerances/allergies, disordered eating, or wanting peace with food, CSN has a dietitian that is right for you.
