What Topics Can I Talk About With A Dietitian?

If you’ve never met with a Registered Dietitian before, you might be wondering “What exactly could I even talk to them about it in session?” The answer is that there are many things you can talk about: from meal planning, to your history with food and your body, to how to increase your water intake and more.

Here’s some ideas of things you might want to explore in your work with an RD:

  1. Your relationship with food and your body

  2. Exploring mindful eating and how to incorporate it into your wellness journey

  3. Meal planning that fits with your health goals, your budget, and your realistic timelines in a day

  4. Planning food for your family, including adjustments for picky eaters or those with food sensitivities

  5. Understanding fact vs fiction when it comes to myths about food and your body

  6. How our relationships with food and nutrition formed - what we learned from our family, from our peers or from society

  7. Incorporating nutritional needs related to specific diseases or disorders

  8. Increasing your hydration

  9. Exploration of weight management and / or weight stigma, diet culture, and your feelings around the concept of the Healthy At Every Size (HAES) framework

  10. Supporting your mind and body to be in optimal shape for your lifestyle, athletic endeavors, or fitness goals
