Looking for a nutritionist (ideally the clinic type).

My GPs are no help, but I'm looking for a clinical nutritionist who can help me with little bits of my diet. All doctors have said my diet is pretty good and they wouldn't change it, however I'd like to know of there's any way to compensate my iron deficiency between iron infusions. I'd actually like to know if I need to lose any weight or if I'm ok and nothing to worry about given my build. Am I looking for a unicorn? I thought I had found someone but they want to sell me a "plan" which I'm not really interested in.

Beware the difference between nutritionist and dietitian.
Dietitians are regulated and licensed - whereas anyone can call themselves a nutritionist.

I was about to say this.
Find a dietician ( protected term) rather then a nutritionist.

www.kerenchapmandietitian.com/ is great (and an actual proper dietician)

Oh right! Where I come from it's the other way around :)

Ok, so is there such a thing as "clinical dietitian" who looks at rare cases? And who would be willing to just tweak my diet (rather than re-structure)
