Overview

Hello. I’m Joy Erdile (Kiddie), and I’m a full-time Registered Dietitian (post-grad in Human Nutrition). I have 18 years of private practice experience in Routine Health, Preventive Nutrition, Chronic Disease Management, Hormonal Health, and Digestive (GI) conditions, and the multicultural Meal Plans I design are tailored to your specific needs. For the last several years, I have been designing Therapeutic Ketogenic Diets for physical and mental health, and customized diets for MCAS, hEDS, & POTS. I provide services rooted in experience and expertise, with a fee structure that remains within the standard Reasonable and Customary Limits set by major extended benefit providers.

I look forward to supporting your nutritional needs.
