Registered Dietitian Nutritionist
Joy Y. Erdile (Kiddie), MSc, RD
Driven by science, fueled by your success. From routine health and digestive issues to designing therapeutic protocols for complex medical conditions, I deliver the evidence-based nutrition support you’ve been looking for. I will help you navigate your health journey while providing you with plenty of options—including Mediterranean, vegetarian, pescatarian and low-carb and “keto” meal patterns (previously offered through a dedicated low-carb division). I am also experienced in lesser-known conditions, including hEDS, MCAS, and POTS. I specialize in multicultural Meal Plans, applying in-depth knowledge of food, cultural, and religious practices spanning multiple regions of the globe. Best of all, you won’t have to constantly weigh your food, or yourself. I would love to collaborate and plan out an approach that will work best for your needs. Nutrition really is BetterByDesign.
