Houston Plant-Based & Vegan Nutritionist

Dietitian:

• Dietitians usually need a college degree in nutrition or a similar field.
• They have to do special training, pass a big test from the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR), and keep learning to keep their title.
• The title “Registered Dietitian” (RD) or “Registered Dietitian Nutritionist” (RDN) is special and can only be used by people who have done all the needed education and training.

Nutritionist:

• The term “nutritionist” is relatively lax.
• While some nutritionists hold college degrees in nutrition science, others may not have extensive formal education in the field.
• In certain areas, the title of nutritionist is accessible to anyone, regardless of their level of education or professional training.

Every one of our team members offering plant-based telehealth services is federally accredited as a registered dietitian, having fulfilled rigorous educational requirements and successfully aced their CDR exams.

Regrettably, currently, we can only provide online consultations, and this is strictly through Zoom. This choice stems from the reality that our clients who are in pursuit of plant-based advice constitute a minor segment. Our primary goal is to broaden our support to a more diverse group of people throughout Texas, concentrating specifically on plant-based nutrition.

Our Texas-registered dietitian and nutritionist Ashley can issue “superbills”. However, we do not offer direct billing, so please check with your insurance providers whether her services are covered. If you would like additional information, please don’t hesitate to Contact Us here.

A vegan doctor can prescribe blood work, make diagnoses, prescribe medication, and recommend high doses of supplements in cases of serious vitamin and mineral deficiencies, such as B12, vitamin D, and iron.

On the other hand, a vegan nutritionist will work with you to alter your eating patterns and enhance your diet to prevent vitamin and mineral deficiencies. They will work on your habits around food to prevent or reverse chronic disease.

Furthermore, the dietitian has the ability to analyze your other vitamin and mineral requirements and ensure they are being met. For example, iodine, omega-3, calcium, magnesium, and zinc are all at risk of being lower if you follow a plant-based diet.

The dietitian will be able to determine if you are getting enough based on your eating habits and provide you with practical tips to meet your needs.

If you are seeking guidance on altering your plant-based diet, plant-based nutritionists and dietitians are the ideal professionals to assist you.

If you are aiming to obtain a diagnosis for a medical condition, blood work, or a medication prescription, you should consult plant-based doctors.

Absolutely, plant-based telehealth is as effective as seeing a plant-based nutritionist in person.

We would even argue that plant-based telehealth is better. Our company, Plant-Based Dietitians Ltd, works exclusively online because it allows individuals to reduce transit time to get to meetings, and it also allows the client to be at home and show what foods, supplements, dishware, and other valuable things that impact your dietary habits.

Furthermore, many of our clients appreciate that they can do their call with their dietitian at work during a break, allowing their nights to be free for other activities
