When people think about nutrition, they often think about weight — but what you eat impacts much more than the number on a scale.

Poor nutrition can increase the risk of chronic conditions like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity, and even certain cancers. It can also weaken your immune system and affect your mental health and cognitive function.

The good news? Small, sustainable nutrition changes can make a meaningful difference. When your primary care provider and registered dietitian work together, they can help you identify risk factors, develop a personalized nutrition plan, and use food as a tool to support long-term health and disease prevention.
