Here is Lydia Siphiwe Chowa, RDN, RN, on the Conception of Lydia’s Medical Nutrition Therapy Consultations LLC:
“Lydia’s Medical Nutrition Therapy Consultations LLC was developed and founded in November 2021. After being a Registered Dietitian for 43 years and a Registered Nurse for 19 years, there is almost no disease I have not dealt with in patients. I finally feel like I can concentrate on sharing my wealth of knowledge outside of the hospital setting with patients and other clients who want to change their lifestyle to either control or manage a disease and prevent or delay the onset of a disease using sound nutrition knowledge based on scientific research and evidence.”
