How often should I see a registered dietitian?

Factors like past medical history, relationship with food, long-term goals, and your insurance coverage or membership preferences all impact how frequently you should see your registered dietitian.

Most of our patients benefit from:

Sessions every 1-2 weeks for the first 1-3 months in care.
Some patients prefer to continue with sessions every 1-2 weeks after 3 months of care, while others may be ready to graduate to sessions every 1-3 months.
Once you achieve your long term goals, it can be helpful to check in with your RD every 6-12 months.

For patients pursuing bariatric surgery, our guidelines are:

Before your surgery, we require you to complete at least 3 sessions for bariatric surgery clearance.
After your surgery, we recommend weekly sessions until you are able to consume a soft diet, and you are meeting your nutrition needs consistently. Then, biweekly for at least 3-6 months.
Once you achieve your long term goals, it can be helpful to check in with your registered dietitian every 6-12 months.

Your RD will work with you to identify the best cadence to meet your individual needs.

What our patients say

"Thanks again for your help and guidance, it's made a definite impact."

Overall, I lost about 18 pounds from my last visit to the doctor. My good cholesterol, which had been stuck at 37 for a long time, was 53, and my doctor removed one of my blood pressure medications.

"I have been working with Culina Health for several months now. My time with them has been amazing.”

I appreciate that the focus is on overall health. It's not about calorie counting or deprivation. I've learned about eating healthy in a healthy and mindful way. I highly recommend Culina Health.
