Tag: What to bring

According to a study published in the *Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics*, patients who actively engage in their nutrition counseling by preparing for appointments show better health outcomes. Knowing exactly what to bring to a dietician appointment is the first step toward this proactive and successful partnership for your health. By gathering the right information beforehand, you can ensure a more productive and personalized session.

The initial consultation with a registered dietitian typically lasts 45 to 60 minutes and focuses on a comprehensive assessment of your health and habits. This session is your chance to outline your health goals, discuss your eating patterns, and receive expert, personalized guidance on what to expect from a first visit to a dietician.
