About Us:
What's missing
from your diet?
Your most valuable source of good nutrition isn't dietary supplements, one
special food, infomercials or the latest diet. It's a registered dietitian.
We have the education and experience to design a healthy eating plan just
for you.
Talk with us. RDs provide nutrition knowledge that's easy to stomach.
You'll learn how to eat better and smarter. You'll have more energy, control
your weight better and be a lot healthier. And, best of all, you won't
have to give up your favorite foods.
It's easy to confuse registered dietitians with other professions. But
once you learn what we as RD's do, you'll discover that nobody has the
training or education to offer quality nutrition knowledge quite like
us.
We separate nutrition facts from fads and translate the latest scientific
breakthroughs into information you can actually use. When you meet with
us, we'll evaluate all aspects of your life. What you are currently easting,
your exercise level, your daily schedule and medical history. We'll determine
if you are getting enough of the proper nutrients to meet your goals.
We, as RDs, see what you are missing, what you are doing well and develop
a plan that gets you where you want to be.
So, what does it take to be an RD?
Education, experience and patience. Aimee Mattiolo has her Bachelor of
Science from the University of Arizona, and JoAnn Randazzo has her Bachelors
of Science from Queens College. After our schooling, we were required
to complete a supervised internship of 900 hours to be eligible to sit
for registration. To become registered, we passed am extensive examination
administered by the Commission on Dietetics registration. In addition,
we are required to complete continuing education credits to keep us at
the forefront of today's nutrition knowledge, as well as to maintain our
registration.
After meeting with us, you'll see that our nutrition education and training
is unsurpassed. While physicians, nurses, gym personal and health store
staff may offer you nutrition advice, no one has the experience, education
and training of an RD.
What is the healthiest investment out there?
Like most professional, registered dietitians in private practice charge
by the hour or session. Our fees have been determined based on our education,
experience and other factors. Before you meet with an RD, talk about costs
and determine how many consultations you will need. Usually after and
initial meeting, you will visit for progress reports and updates. No matter
how you look at it, working with an RD is one of the smartest investments
you can ever make in your health.
Looking for an RD?
We are so happy you have decided to invest in your health. We offer convenient
and flexible hours designed to meet everyone's schedule. We are located
at 152 Hoffman Street in Lindenhurst. We offer group classes as well as
individual consultations and are also available for home visits or group
classes within a home setting.
You will find our nutrition knowledge in invaluable.
A few more things to chew on....
What are the top ten healthiest foods?
While there seems to be a top ten list for everything, there are no "healthiest"
foods. In fact, it's misleading to categorize foods as being "good"
or "bad". Every body is different and everybody has different
needs. We can help you determine what foods are best for you.
Heavy Stuff
A recent report mentions that 55% of adults are overweight or obese. The
number of 4- and 5 year old children who are overweight or obese has almost
doubled in the past 20 years from 5.8% to 10%. We'll work with you to
lower your weight, or your family's weight, the healthy way.
What keeps people from eating better?
In research conducted by the American Dietetic Association, 40% of the
respondents said they were too afraid to give up their favorite foods,
27% said they were confused and frustrated by the media nutrition information
, and 21% thought eating better takes too much time. We help you fit all
foods into your lifestyle. We sort through current scientific research
and make it easy for you. We can show you how easy it is to prepare a
variety of meals that are delicious ad healthy.
