Frequently Asked questions
Is Dr. Mawji, ND a nutritionist?
Dr. Mawji, ND is a naturopathic doctor, not a Registered Dietitian or Registered Holistic Nutritionist. As part of her naturopathic medical training in Naturopathic medical school, she completed 4 years of extensive coursework in clinical nutrition and is trained to make evidence-informed nutrition recommendations as part of a naturopathic care plan.
How is naturopathic clinical nutrition different from seeing a dietitian?
A Registered Dietitian typically focuses on therapeutic diets and works within the conventional medical model. A naturopathic doctor approaches nutrition as one part of a whole-person assessment, integrating it with lab findings, lifestyle and other naturopathic recommendations. The two approaches are complementary and can work alongside each other.
​
Do I need lab testing before getting nutrition recommendations?
Not always. Some nutrition recommendations can be made based on your health history and clinical assessment alone. Where lab testing would add meaningful context such as hormone panels, nutrient deficiency markers, or food sensitivity testing, Dr. Mawji, ND will discuss whether it is indicated for your case.
​
Is virtual nutrition counselling available?
Yes. Clinical nutrition counselling is available as part of virtual consultations for patients across Alberta.
