Kate Rivard

About Kate

Hello, my name is Kate Rivard, a dietitian with 25-plus years of part-time dietitian experience in culinary work, clinical long term care and 16 years of seasonal population wellness work involving blood draw labs, blood pressures and review for insurance premium reducing lifestyle change. I have worked in insurance and at the state-mandated level. Currently, I help people save money by managing blood sugars, eating behaviors and often weight.

Approach to care

My protocol includes rapport, then getting a broad overview of the medical nutrition picture and finally tweaking out the lifestyle habits that could be goals for gradual improvement. We set attainable goals that can be measured through our time spent together.

Your first session with Kate

Rapport is a big part of making the client feel comfortable and learning what their reason for joining the session actually is! A typical set of biometrics, a sample day of eating, any alcohol or drug use, and types of caffeine, stimulants like nicotine and daily water intake, physical activity, and sleep averages. We then summarize the meeting and choose a goal or two to follow-up on next visit.
