Our Care Team is staffed by Registered Dietitians and Diabetes Educators credentialed by ADCES.

We utilize the Nutrition Care Process (NCP), which is recognized as the gold standard framework for evidence-based nutrition and dietary education. The Nutrition Care Process helps our clinicians deliver structured, outcome-driven nutrition care and empowers patients to achieve measurable results through individualized nutrition interventions.


This process was developed by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and forms the foundation of all our nutrition-related care strategies.

By integrating the Nutrition Care Process within our Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) and Chronic Care Management (CCM) programs, we ensure each patient receives ongoing, structured nutritional support that complements their medical plan of care.

For 98% of our patients, we provide the first opportunity they’ve ever had to work privately with a Registered Dietitian or Diabetes Educator.

By offering these services under the RPM and CCM nutrition programs, we can provide 60–120 minutes of reimbursable education monthly to patients. Deeply rooted in evidence-based nutrition care standards, our philosophy is simple: meet patients where they are and help them succeed through personalized Nutrition Care Process plans.

Personalized Diet Plans Guided by the Nutrition Care Process

MyPlate

MyPlate is an approach that can be used to plan healthy and balanced meals for everyone in the family. MyPlate puts emphasis on five different food groups: vegetables, fruits, protein, whole grains, and dairy. Each of these groups takes a percentage of the plate. The recommendation is to fill up 50% of the plate with vegetables and/or fruits, 25% of the plate with high protein foods, and  25% of the plate with grains/complex carbohydrates. Dairy can be used to complement food choices and can be included in one or more meals per day.

 

The purpose of the plate is to provide a guide for portion control and highlight the importance of eating whole foods that are high in vitamins and minerals and that support body processes. While MyPlate was developed to guide the food choices of healthy people, it does not take into consideration specific conditions or special diets. But with the help of RPM Logix’s Care Team dietitians, the MyPlate diet can be adapted to fit the needs of different individuals and populations.

My Dash Diet

DASH (Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension)

The DASH (Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension) diet is recommended by the American Heart Association as a resource to help treat or prevent hypertension. This tool provides daily and weekly nutritional goals to serve as a guide for patients to plan healthy meals and snacks. This diet emphasizes the intake of foods rich in potassium, magnesium, calcium, fiber, and protein. It intends to limit intake of sodium, sugar, trans fats, and saturated fats.

 

The DASH approach encourages patients to include vegetables, fruits, lean proteins, whole grains, and low-fat dairy daily, while also promoting the moderation of fatty meats, sweets, desserts, sugary beverages, and sodium (between 1500-2300 mg per day). With the help of our registered dietitians, patients can use the DASH diet as a guide to plan their healthy weekly menus and contribute to a healthier lifestyle that will help manage chronic conditions.

Intermittent fasting

Intermittent fasting is not a diet per se, but an approach. There is research that links fasting to a faster metabolism, weight loss, enhanced cognitive ability, and much more. The ways in which fasting contributes to health are complex, but one of the reasons is that when someone fasts, they allow their insulin levels to drop which is associated with many health benefits.

Many patients like to follow this approach because it allows them to include the foods they like. There are many different methods to implement intermittent fasting: 16:8, 20:4, 5:2. Patients can work with RPM Logix dietitians to help them determine if intermittent fasting is right for them. The RPM Logix Care Team will guide patients on how to implement fasting safely and healthily.

Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) drugs

Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 (GLP-1) drugs are known for treating diabetes, but a beneficial side effect associated with them is weight loss. GLP-1 is known to stimulate the release of insulin and delay gastric emptying in healthy individuals, but this effect is decreased or absent in people with type 2 diabetes. GLP-1 is also known for reducing appetite and increasing satiety. The GLP-1 agonists help in weight loss by eliciting all of the previously mentioned effects in people with type 2 diabetes. While the drugs provide benefits, it is recommended that they are combined with an exercise routine as well as caloric restriction to potentiate the benefits and reach clinically significant weight loss. Patients can achieve weight loss and a balanced, healthy lifestyle with the help and guidance of the registered dietitians and diabetes educators at RPM Logix. They are ready to collaborate with patients and help them find a sustainable lifestyle that prioritizes a high-quality diet based on whole foods.

Vegan and vegetarian diets

Vegan and vegetarian diets have gained popularity in recent years. These eating styles have been associated with weight loss and have been linked to improving health by lowering blood pressure, cholesterol, blood glucose, and metabolic disease. These diets emphasize the intake of whole and unprocessed foods such as vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, and seeds, as well as eggs and dairy for vegetarians. The benefits of these diets are associated with the increased intake of fiber, vitamins, and minerals and decreased intake of sugar, trans and saturated fats. These diets have also been associated with deficiencies of certain nutrients, so the guidance and help of our RPM Logix dietitians are key for the adequate implementation of these plans to reach an optimal and healthy lifestyle.

Culture and ethnicity influence

The emphasis of culture and ethnicity influence in this kind of diet holds specific cultural beliefs and actions regarding health, wellness, and nutrition. Due to growth in diversity, it has become essential to include and practice cultural and ethnic respect and integration in healthcare. This not only increases compliance, but also increases interaction and satisfaction from patients. Many different factors need to be considered to provide culturally competent care, such as language, race, ethnicity, nationality, gender, socioeconomic status, occupation, and sexual orientation. At RPM Logix, we are committed to understanding and integrating these factors into the delivery and structure of the healthcare we provide.

I have a very motivational story to share of one of my patients Jacinta whom I have had the privilege to get to know over the past 6 months. Jacinta has done an amazing job with her weight loss journey and now has officially reached her goal. She is 194 lbs down from 221 lbs 8 months ago. A total of 53 lbs total since November 2021. Her BMI in January was 37.92 and now it is 28.6, reversing her “obesity” classification. Jacinta followed a strict regimen of eating mostly vegetables, intermittent fasting, and physical activity. She is proud to have gone down 6 dress sizes and now needs to have her entire wardrobe adjusted. She remains motivated to maintain her weight loss and promises to stick with her regimen. We wish Jacinta all the success with her maintenance phase as she moves forward!

Dr. A’s patient, Ms. Tanya, started with the RPM program in May of this year and initially was feeling discouraged since she was not eligible for GLP-1s to lose weight. Despite this, Ms. Steward remained opened minded and was always open to diet recommendations. Ms. Steward started the program weighing 205 and is now down to 180!! This has shown me that the resources that our RD’s share with us can be very helpful. Thank you all!

He enjoys working with his RD and follows all of her recommendations. He walks for 45 minutes daily. When I asked him if he has started to buy new clothes, he laughed and said I still have clothes from 25 years ago!! He is such a pleasure to work with!! Can we clone him!!

Sharon has lost 11 pounds, from 190 lbs to 179 lbs. This is attributed to dietary changes (reduced starches, breads, pasta, rice, sweets; increased vegetables and fruits) and increased physical activity (30-45 min morning walks, more walking throughout day).

Patient Teresha has struggled with her weight; she is morbidly obese and suffers from uncontrolled diabetes and hypertension. As soon as we signed on with RPM Logix, I knew Teresha would benefit from the dietitian/CDE consult, and she was very happy to sign on to this. Her dietitian has done a wonderful job of working with Teresha and communicating with me regarding needs for medication changes, and when there have been issues that the provider needed to be involved with. Due to this excellent nutritional care her dietitian has provided, Teresha has lost 47 lbs over a few months, is much more motivated for proper food choices, and to exercise. For the first time, her BP and glucose are in control, and she feels so much better. I have really praised Teresa for her hard work today, but also want to praise her dietitian for her dedication and for making such an improvement in this patient’s life.

I spoke to Miss Rose today, she has been losing weight on GLP-1 medication and feeling much better with balanced BP levels. She lost about 15 lbs before GLP-1 medication by reducing alcohol intake and increasing protein, and since she started using GLP-1 medication and focusing on her protein intake she has lost another 60 lbs. She went from 230 lbs to 155-160 lbs and her A1C has improved as well from 6.8 to 5.5.

Abigail

From the beginning, Joanne’s health goals have been focused on weight loss and when we started working together she was at 163 lbs. By watching the types of food she is consuming and by incorporating intermittent fasting, she has been able to lose 27 lbs (at our last visit, according to her records, she is at 136 lbs and she is maintaining that weight loss. It has been slow but consistent and she is starting to look at food and eating patterns in an entirely different light. Her success has prompted her work colleagues to ask what program she is on and how can they join. So excited for her! — I don’t want to forget to mention her increased activity which has helped her to build muscle and to improve areas of her health outside of weight management. Congrats to Joanne!

Patricia with Dr. A has had an 8 lb weight loss since the last RD assessment, meeting the criteria for “healthy weight loss” and she is very happy with her weight loss. She attributes this to changing her grains to whole grains, par boiling brown rice and removing the water to reduce starch, and is removing the skin from chicken. She was very encouraged and happy when notified of her weight loss today as she did not even realize it.
