Diabetes
Working with a dietitian can help you target the habits to change and improve your diabetes management. In 2019, a study showed that, in adults living with type 2 diabetes, medical nutrition therapy by a registered dietitian resulted in significant reductions in the average level of blood sugar (HgA1c), weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, cholesterol, and systolic blood pressure. (Razaz & all, 2019)
Arthritis
Studies reveal the typical “Western diet” is linked to a high level of inflammation in the body. Pro-inflammatory foods may worsen the symptoms of arthritis, while anti-inflammatory foods may reduce the severity of the symptoms. By making small changes in your nutrition, you can reduce the pain caused by the disease, maintain your range of motion, and overall increase your quality of life. Registered dietitians can guide you through this process and support you when everyday life struggles caused by arthritis get in your way.
