What a Registered Nutritionist is
Nutrition covers many fields. There are many people who claim to be professionals who do not have the recognised qualifications to meet your needs. Registered Nutritionists have at least 3 years experience and recognised qualifications using science based on evidence. Registered Nutritionists are those registered with the Association for Nutrition. You can trust a Registered Nutritionist, just like you can trust a Dietitian.
Please don't call me with marketing opportunities.
