Dietitians don't usually do blood tests or measurements.  If at any point in your nutrition consultation the dietitian suspects you may be low in a nutrient or would benefit from a medical test, she will direct you to see your doctor with the information that will help in your diagnosis.   You can request that your nutrition assessment is sent to your doctor to improve your medical care. 

Dietitians know that your worth is more than your weight and that feeling better cannot be measured by a scale, so we don't necessarily measure or weigh our clients.  

If you are results driven, have a body comp goal and really want to measure your results, you can have a DEXA scan done at the location listed below.  Remember to share your DEXA report with the dietitian to help in building  your meal plan.
