What does seeing a nutritionist do?

Seeing a nutritionist helps you promote your health and manage diseases. Your nutritionist assesses your dietary needs and teaches you about nutrition. They’ll work with you to develop a healthy eating plan customized for the conditions or symptoms you are experiencing.

Your nutritionist can help you form dietary goals, monitor your nutritional levels, and track your progress. Their evaluations show if your diet is helping and lets them know if changes need to be made. A nutritionist may have you fill out dietary questionnaires or provide educational materials during your visit.
