- Personal Assessment
-
Proper nutrition can benefit us all. The problem is
that the media has so much confusing information out there that many
people just don't know where to start.
A registered dietitian is trained to assess a person's medical needs,
knowledge and life style and make recommendations to improve
nutritional status.

Your neighbor, Laura Olsen, has been in private practice for
over 8 years
now in Brooklyn, NY. Before that she worked in Long Island College
Hospital
specializing in Diabetes management which includes weight management,
cardiovascular disease and prevention. Nothing is more rewarding than
providing the knowledge to people to improve their health. This enables each person to make
educated choices. We can only do the best we can and if we do not know
what is the best thing to do how are we expected to be able to make
the wisest choices.
