Here are answers to some common questions about Registered Dietitian Nutritionist care with Noelle Cohen:
- What is a Registered Dietitian?
- A Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) is a food and nutrition expert who has completed rigorous academic and professional training. RDNs translate nutrition science into actionable advice to help seniors manage health conditions, prevent disease, and improve their quality of life.
- How is a Registered Dietitian different from a 'nutritionist'?
- A Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, like Ms. Cohen, is a legally protected title. RDs have completed a rigorous education and supervised practice program, passed a national exam, and maintain continuing education. The title "nutritionist" is not regulated, so anyone can use it. Working with an RD, like Ms. Cohen, means choosing a qualified and credentialed expert.
- Do I have to give up all my favorite foods?
- Not at all! Ms. Cohen's philosophy emphasizes balance, moderation, and finding healthy ways to enjoy your favorite foods. The goal is a sustainable lifestyle, not a restrictive diet, by exploring healthier alternatives and appropriate portion sizes.
- I have high blood pressure. What kind of dietary changes can help?
- Reducing sodium intake, especially by limiting processed foods, is a powerful way to help manage high blood pressure. The DASH diet, which emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins, can be very helpful. These dietary changes offer a non-medication approach to managing your blood pressure.
- What is Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT)?
- Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) is a personalized nutrition plan developed by a Registered Dietitian to treat medical conditions. Examples include creating a heart-healthy plan to lower cholesterol or a kidney-friendly plan for someone with chronic kidney disease. It's an evidence-based approach and part of a comprehensive healthcare plan.
- As I've gotten older, my appetite has decreased. Is this a concern?
- A decreased appetite is common as we age, but it's important to address. Poor appetite can lead to unintentional weight loss and malnutrition, impacting strength and immunity. Ms. Cohen can help you develop strategies to make meals more appealing and nutritious, ensuring you receive the proper nutrition for optimal health.
- I have Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). Why is diet so important?
- When your kidneys aren't filtering waste properly, a special diet, called a renal diet, is crucial. This diet helps reduce the buildup of waste products in your blood. Ms. Cohen can create a personalized plan that often limits sodium, potassium, and phosphorus to ease the strain on your kidneys and help preserve their function.
- I have type 2 diabetes. How can a dietitian help me?
- Managing your diet is a cornerstone of type 2 diabetes control. Ms. Cohen can help you understand how different foods affect your blood sugar, creating a balanced eating plan that's enjoyable and helps keep your blood sugar stable, improves energy, and prevents complications. It's not about deprivation, but about positive changes for your health.
