Hy-Vee's dieticians are registered dietitians so they are legitimate. From the people I've talked to that used them, the dietitian would give them a tour around the store and tell the client to focus on the outside of the store to avoid processed foods and such (we've heard this advice before). I would go in with a list of questions to ask so you get the most out of your session.
Mind if I ask what you are looking for out of meeting with the dietitian? As long as they are an RD it shouldn’t matter who they associated with.
Ok so we need to get some terms sorted so I have an idea what you’re asking. Are you talking about the “ability to gain strength” as in the leg becoming stronger or just not causing pain? Two very different things. Have you been diagnosed with sciatica and given specific exercises/treatment for it? Can you elaborate on what “pressure” is and is it just in the calf?@FriendlySpartan (or anyone else with similar experiences) I'm going to sports medicine in about two weeks but just assuming you know the exact problem I have based on my generally vague description and you likely not having much experience/certification officially in the PT field.
Can sciatica not be 'felt' like not much pain or discomfort but still affect a leg's ability to gain strength?
My calf can't turn the corner no matter if I rest it or do strengthening. It doesn't swell but does seem to have some pressure including my veins occasionally looking like varicose but seem to get better after some calf raises. I got a test done to rule out blood clots (no issues).
I stumbled around in a rocky stream two days ago with no problems which is fairly rugged/complicated movement but jogging in a run/walk work out brings back pain 2-3 days afterward. However, if I roll or massage the calf I don't feel the pain in the muscles.
TIA.
I landed on that page recently when looking for a dietitian. I completely misread it the information as I had to have a referral from my physician to meet with a dietitian. Which is why I messaged my doctor's office asking for a referral and was told to go to Hy-Vee.
I appreciate giving some examples. Thanks.
What I'm looking to get out of meeting with a dietitian is assistance in setting up an actual diet plan. I need assistance in knowing where to start.
There's a study that has shown a 50% increase in DHT during the loading phase. You could skip the loading phase and just take the standard scoop daily.
I didn't do a loading phase because I was worried that it would mess with my hydration and stomach so I'm good there. I don't have a family history of hair loss. I'm wondering if the creatine just speeds up the hair loss for those prone to it.
Haven't had the chance to meet with one yet. Busiest time of the year at work, especially in my position. I'll be meeting with one in July.
I don't remember how far it is from CR but Jesup Gym used to be "home of the $1 workout." They sell equipment too.
