* When to see a Certified Nutritionist
Many people think that seeing a board-certified nutritionist is just another doctor to keep track of, but a Board-Certified Nutritionist (licensed by the Commonwealth) also helps manage chronic diseases, food allergies and sensitivities, weight gain, self-image, and overall nutritional understanding.
Proper nutrition is one of the basic ingredients for leading a healthy life. We often have little knowledge about what the key parameters of nutrition are, so this article will explain some of the basics of nutrition to help you lead a healthier life.
At Rewind by Sharicom Health®, the Rewind Nutrition™ team is here for you daily!
- Tailor menus directly for patients based on nutritional needs. Meal planning can also help cut down on grocery bills. When you go shopping with a specific list for designated meals, it cuts down on the extra foods you might purchase and the temptation to get junk food.
- Proper nutrition can help manage chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, and many other chronic issues, in combination with treatment from your primary care physician.
- A certified nutritionist also motivates you when you struggle to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
- People suffering from food allergies benefit from learning about foods that could cause an allergic reaction. This can be especially helpful to individuals who have been diagnosed with mild to severe gluten allergies that require a complete diet change.
- When you eat healthier, your body doesn’t work as hard, so you have more energy and feel better.
Each patient receives a different plan and recommendations based on their health and lifestyle. A 45-year-old in good health might have very different recommendations on what they should eat than a 65-year-old with underlying health conditions.
Some of the conditions we treat include:
- Diabetes
- Heart disease
- Cancer
- Overweight and obesity
- Osteoporosis (progressive bone thinning)
- Kidney disease
- Wound healing
- Gastrointestinal disorders
- Eating disorders
- Food allergies
A Certified Nutritionist works with a patient to determine what factors in their lives might be challenges to eating healthy and find ways to overcome those barriers.

Certified Nutritionist or Dietician?
A certified nutritionist and a registered dietician are the same under Kentucky law, except a certified nutritionist did not complete an internship.
