A: The initial session is a chance for Suzanne to get to understand more about you. Suzanne will do a complete nutrition assessment for you - which will involve learning about your eating and medical history. From there, together we will create some feasible goals and Suzanne will provide you with resources and leave you with a plan until our next visit. The follow-up appointments are to check-in and see what is working and what needs to be tweaked.
A: As a Registered Dietitian I am regulated by the College of Dietitians of Ontario. Dietitians are required to have a 4-year undergraduate degree in addition to a 1-year internship or specified masters degree. The nutritionist title is not a protected title in Ontario this means there is no regulatory body protecting the public or monitoring their practice. Anyone can use the "Nutritionist" title (and some Dietitians do) however, the level of education can vary from widely from a weekend course to a PhD in Nutrition.
A: It really depends on the level and length of support you are looking for. The 2 session package is for those looking to make smaller changes, whereas the 5 session package is for you if you would like more long-term support. We can discuss this in more detail at your first session and find what works best for you or Contact Suzanne to discuss further.
A: Unfortunately my services are not covered by OHIP, however, many extended health benefit plans do cover private dietitian services or nutrition counselling services. Check your plan. If your plan does not provide coverage - check out this resource to share with your employer about the value of adding this service to your plan.
A: No - you do not require a doctor's referral to see me. You may only require a doctor's note for insurance purposes. Check with your insurance provider beforehand to see if this is required to submit a nutrition counselling claim.
A: Many plans cover dietitian services. However, each insurance plan is unique. Check with your insurance coverage provider to see if dietitian or nutrition counselling services are covered.
