Medical Nutrition Therapy

"Eating Well, Being Well"

There is a lot of nutrition information out there. It's sometimes hard to figure out what the truth is. Riverview Medical Center now offers you the chance to meet one-to-one with a nutrition expert!

Who is a Registered Dietitian and how can they help?
A registered dietitian is a health care professional who provides reliable, objective nutrition information. They separate facts from fads and translate the latest scientific findings into easy-to-understand nutrition information. Registered dietitians have completed academic requirements established by the American Dietetic Association's credentialing agency. This includes passing a national exam and continuing their professional education.

Good nutrition can help you to feel better, look better and perform better.
There are many reasons to meet with our Registered Dietitian including:

• Weight Management
• Food allergies or intolerances (dairy, wheat, nuts, etc.)
• Nutritional needs before, during or after pregnancy
• Heart Healthy Nutrition
• High Cholesterol
• High Blood Pressure
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Diverticulitis, or other digestive problems
• Kidney disease
• Celiac disease
• Crohn's disease
