Here are answers to some common questions about Registered Dietitian Nutritionist care with Camila Endsley:
- What is a Registered Dietitian?
- A Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) is a food and nutrition expert who has completed extensive education and training. They help seniors understand how to use food to manage health conditions, prevent disease, and improve overall well-being. Our RDNs translate complex nutrition science into practical, daily advice.
- How is a Registered Dietitian different from a 'nutritionist'?
- A Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, like me, is a legally protected title. We have completed a bachelor's degree, a supervised practice program, passed a national exam, and maintain continuing education. The title "nutritionist" is not regulated, so anyone can use it. Working with me, Camila Endsley, means you're choosing a qualified and credentialed expert.
- Do I have to give up all my favorite foods?
- Not at all! Our philosophy is about balance, moderation, and finding healthy ways to enjoy the foods you love. We'll work together to find healthier alternatives and appropriate portion sizes to create a sustainable lifestyle.
- I have type 2 diabetes. How can a dietitian help me?
- Managing your diet is key to controlling type 2 diabetes. Camila Endsley can help you understand how different foods affect your blood sugar, creating a balanced eating plan that's enjoyable and helps stabilize your blood sugar, improve your energy, and prevent complications.
- I have high blood pressure. What kind of dietary changes can help?
- Reducing sodium, especially from processed foods, is a key strategy. The DASH diet, rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, can significantly help manage blood pressure without medication. These dietary changes are powerful ways to improve your health and well-being.
- I have Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Why is diet so important?
- When your kidneys aren't working optimally, they struggle to filter waste from your blood. A special renal diet helps reduce these waste products. Ms. Endsley can create a personalized plan that often limits sodium, potassium, and phosphorus to lessen the burden on your kidneys and help preserve their function.
- What is Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT)?
- Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) is a personalized nutrition plan developed by a Registered Dietitian to treat medical conditions. It's an evidence-based approach, like creating a heart-healthy plan to lower cholesterol or a kidney-friendly plan for chronic kidney disease, and is part of a comprehensive healthcare plan.
- Can a dietitian help with digestive issues like gas and bloating?
- Yes, many digestive issues, like gas and bloating, are directly related to food choices. Ms. Endsley can help identify trigger foods and develop a personalized eating plan, such as a low-FODMAP diet, to reduce uncomfortable symptoms.
