A first appointment is mostly a conversation. Your dietitian learns about your health, your usual eating and your goals, then gives you a small number of practical changes to start with.
Step by step
- Your history. Medical conditions, medications and supplements, digestive issues, allergies and any recent bloodwork.
- Your routine. What and when you eat on a typical day, your schedule, sleep, training and who does the cooking.
- Your goals. Managing a condition, fuelling for a sport, changing body composition or simply eating better.
- A starting plan. A few specific changes that fit your life, explained in plain language.
- Next steps. What to track, and when a follow-up makes sense.
What to bring
- A list of medications and supplements, with doses
- Recent lab results, if you have them
- A few days of notes or phone photos of what you ate
- Your training schedule if you are an athlete
- Your questions
What it is not
You will not be handed a strict diet or a list of banned foods, and nobody is there to judge what you eat. Nutrition care also does not replace medical care: your dietitian will tell you if something should be checked by your doctor.
