Hello, my name is Ishita Mukherjee. I'm a registered dietitian.
What happens at a first nutrition visit?
A first nutrition visit is a conversation with a dietitian about how you eat and what you hope to change. It often starts with questions about health history, medicines and recent lab results.
The dietitian asks about a usual day of meals and snacks, and about daily routines. Food likes, dislikes, culture and budget are often part of the talk too. Height and weight may be measured. Together, you and the dietitian set goals and talk through practical steps toward them.
Call the office if you have questions about your visit or your care. This is general information, not personal instructions. Your dietitian can tell you what applies to you.
Thanks for watching.
