What are nutritional services?
Our registered dieticians (RDs) can help you sort through fact and fiction when it comes to developing healthy eating habits. We can work with you to create a nutrition plan that fits your needs, goals and circumstances.
Who can benefit and how?
If you have a medical condition that requires a specific diet or if you're trying to reach a healthy weight, our nutritional services can help. Athletes looking to boost performance can also benefit.
Why choose Sentara?
Sentara’s registered dieticians are trained and certified to help you use food to improve your health.
Service and treatments
Your healthcare provider may ask you to meet with a registered dietitian if you have been diagnosed with certain medical conditions, including:
- Cancer

- Epilepsy
- Gastrointestinal conditions

Our goal is to use food as a tool to improve your health and, in some cases like cancer, help you recover from treatment side effects.
