What is a Registered Dietitian?

  • Completed a Bachelor’s, Master’s or Doctorate degree in nutrition
  • Passed a national exam
  • Maintained continuing education hours

Registered dietitians are trained in the science of nutrition to help their patients achieve their health and fitness goals.

When was Your Last Nutrition Check-up?
A registered dietitian can assess a patient’s diet and detect imbalances, deficiencies and excesses. They will then work with them to develop a personalized eating plan that can help take charge of their eating habits and create a healthier lifestyle.
