Dietary Services Specialist

Why do I need dietary services?

Eating the right foods and using portion control can have a significant impact on your health. Your body needs healthy, nutrient-filled foods to function optimally and what you put into your body matters.

Dietary services give you insight into exactly what your body needs to work efficiently and prevent the development of underlying medical conditions and dietary deficiencies. If you have an existing medical issue, changing your diet can help alleviate symptoms and ensure your condition is effectively managed.

For instance, people with Type 2 or prediabetes can improve their diet to keep blood sugar levels well-controlled, avoiding the need for medication therapy. A healthy diet can also prevent long-term health complications, such as:

• Heart disease
• Renal disorders
• Thyroid disorders
• Immune system dysfunction
  
  

If you have difficulties losing weight or maintaining a healthy weight, dietary services can address the issues that cause you to struggle, such as a slowed metabolism or vitamin deficiency.
