3 Reasons to Choose Catalyst as Your Wilkes-Barre Dietitian
There is no shortage of healthcare facilities serving the more than 44,000 residents of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania.
So, why should you choose Catalyst Nutrition and Training when you’re searching for a dietitian near you?
1. Access to a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist
When you come to Catalyst, you benefit from seeing a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN). While nutritionists can advise you on the benefits of certain foods, a dietitian has additional education, is an expert in dietetics, and can use nutrition to help you manage weight and disease.
This healthcare approach is called medical nutrition therapy, or MNT. The conditions we help treat with proper nutrition include:
-
Heart disease (high cholesterol and other issues)
-
IBD (Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis)
-
Weight loss or weight gain needs
-
Hyperlipidemia
We can also help with nutrition for athletic performance!
2. Functional Nutrition
Another good reason for Wilkes-Barre residents to come see us at Catalyst Nutrition and Training is that we take a functional nutrition approach to our sessions with you.
Functional nutrition, also called holistic nutrition, is a type of MNT that considers your diet as just one interconnected part of your overall health.
At Catalyst, we don’t isolate your nutrition from the other aspects of your health. The foods you eat and the overall lifestyle choices you make are all related. When we work with you on your nutrition, we also consider elements such as your sleep habits, physical activity, and stress levels to devise food strategies best suited to your life.
We say it all the time: we don’t offer you any one-size-fits-all approaches at Catalyst. We base all our plans on you!
3. Empowerment Through Education
A third great reason to choose Catalyst as your dietitian nutritionist when you live in Wilkes-Barre is our philosophy: at the center of our practice is the belief that the best way we can empower you is through education.
While we could come up with entire nutrition plans for you, we prefer it if you tell us what you want to get out of this. Once we learn your medical history and nutrition goals, we fully customize an approach to you.
The point is to educate you on everything you need to know to understand why our recommended changes can help you. One of our core beliefs is that your success will come through your own knowledge of nutrition.
That’s where we can help! We don’t force any changes on you or simply hand you a cookie-cutter program to follow. You go to see a dietitian for yourself: the priority here is YOU!
