What is the difference between a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and a Nutritionist?

Nutritionist is an unregulated term. Anyone, including your neighbor who has a career in something completely different can call themselves a nutritionist. In fact, you’re a nutritionist! Seriously. Put it on your resume if you want to.

A registered dietitian or registered dietitian nutritionist is someone who has completed and maintains rigorous educational and training requirements.

At a minimum, a registered dietitian completes:
·     A master’s degree, including a Didactic Program in Dietetics
·     1200 hours of supervised practice
·     A registration board exam
·     75 hours of continuing education every 5 years

RDN's only use scientifically based research methods for disease control and prevention, improve relationship with food and body image, improvement of athletic performance, and help increase food quality.

How will I benefit from working with a Registered Dietitian (RD)?

An RD will provide one-on-one nutrition counseling to develop an individual plan solely focused on sustainably enabling you to reach your performance or health goal(s). You can accomplish this by building on your current strengths and modifying any weaknesses in your current eating habits, mindsets around food, and lifestyle systems.
