Who are Registered Dietitians?

Registered Dietitians (R.D.’s) are specialized healthcare providers who are dedicated to improving nutrition, feeding and food relationships. R.D.’s are the experts in the field of food and nutrition. Meeting with an R.D. guarantees you are meeting with a nutrition expert. These experts stay ahead of all current nutrition trends via extensive continuing education, which is a requirement of all R.D.’s. Registered Dietitians are not the same as “nutritionists.” Anyone can call themselves “nutritionist.” To ensure you are meeting with a qualified professional, ask to see a Registered Dietitian.
