Supporting your nutrition goals

You know that good nutrition is the foundation for a lifetime of health. But with so much contradictory information out there, it’s hard to know what guidelines to follow – and it's even more difficult to translate all that nutrition advice into a day-to-day plan that works for your life. Inova Well’s nutrition services can help.

Our registered dietitians are ready to support you as you progress toward your goals through a holistic, evidence-based approach. Whether you want to lose weight, prevent or manage chronic disease, develop a healthy relationship with food, address food allergies or just find out how to eat healthy in a way that works for you, we're here to listen and guide you.

How can a registered dietitian support you?

A registered dietitian is a food and nutrition expert who has completed academic and professional requirements established by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics.

Our Inova registered dietitians can help you:

  • Prioritize your health by building mindful eating habits
  • Guide you to choose foods that best fit your culture, budget and health
  • Set effective and achievable goals
  • Identify perceived barriers
  • Plan and prepare nutritious meals and snacks
  • Distinguish health and nutrition facts from diet myths using evidence-informed nutrition guidelines
  • Clients must be located in VA, MD or DC for their virtual nutrition session
