Today I want to talk about the role of the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), and what to expect in your first session with an RDN at The Emily Program.
At The Emily Program, part of your treatment will likely include meeting with a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. And you may be wondering — what role does the RD play in recovery?
