I saw a dietician (whom I now think is a naturopath and maybe not even a dietician) recently and I’m wondering how normal my experience was or if I should see someone else?

(Sorry if this is the wrong sub for this post)

So after a long chat about goals, how much I wanted to lose, my motivations, weighing me, etc, she essentially wanted me to pay $1300 to do her 35 day program which was just a clean keto diet (not called keto though) and that includes supplements, ketostix, access to a members only Facebook support group, weekly weigh-ins and a book which had a shopping list of “approved foods”, a few recipes, some information about herself and a few other things about the program, the food industry, how the body processes sugars & carbs, etc.

She also said she thinks I might have a thyroid issue but she wouldn’t address that straight away until we changed my diet.

I just don’t feel in my gut that this was right.

Should I be seeing a nutritionist instead or try a different dietician? Is it even worth it to try either of those?
