Hy-Vee Dietitians

What can a Hy-Vee dietitian do for you?

Registered Dietitians are your most credible source of food and nutrition information. Registered Dietitians have the skills and knowledge to translate food and nutrition science into practical information. Look for the initials RD or RDN, indicating the dietitian has:

• Completed a bachelor’s, master’s or doctorate degree in nutrition
• Completed a supervised dietetics internship program
• Passed a national exam
• Maintains continuing education hours

Health Screenings
Don’t wait for chronic diseases to sneak up on you. Take preventative measures by getting a health assessment by your Hy-Vee dietitian, or be on the lookout for the Hy-Vee Healthy You Mobile. During a health screening, you can get quick and accurate results on cholesterol, blood pressure, blood sugar, body fat, and body mass index. Your Hy-Vee dietitian will explain what the results mean to you.

Individual Medical Nutrition Therapy (with physician referral - contact dietitian for details)
Visit your Hy-Vee dietitian when your physician recommends diet changes or for any special dietary needs. Your Hy-Vee dietitian will help you develop a nutrition plan tailored to your healthcare needs, such as weight loss/gain, high blood pressure, diabetes, food allergy/intolerance (such as gluten-free), high cholesterol and other nutritional concerns. Contact your Hy-Vee dietitian for help with choosing the program that is right for you.

Begin™ Healthy Lifestyle and Weight Loss Program
Begin is a ten-week lifestyle management program led by a Hy-Vee dietitian. This healthy lifestyle program emphasizes eating for good health, weight loss and being physically active. Health screens with biometrics and measurements are included with most Begin™ programs at the start and finish. Begin™ is not a “diet”- Begin™ is a plan to help with lifelong wellness. See Begin Program information.

Community Presentations
A variety of health and wellness programs are available for businesses or organizations. Your group can come to the store or the Hy-Vee dietitian can come to you. Services may include employee health fairs, cooking demonstrations, luncheon presentations or health screenings.

Cooking Classes, Wellness Workshops, and Kids’ Events
These events vary with each Hy-Vee dietitian. Some events are complimentary, while others have a fee. Contact your local Hy-Vee dietitian for more information on upcoming events.
