Why use a Registered Dietitian?
Your doctor is often so busy working with multiple patients that they and their staff only have the time to give you handouts to try and help you. It’s not that they don’t care. Unfortunately they only have so much time and to properly educate you and work through issues like menu planning, recipes, etc. take more time than they usually have available.
While friends, family, and other sources of information are well intentioned, they don’t have the educational background to provide what you need.
A Registered Dietician is an expert in food and nutrition who: earned a college degree or higher, completed a supervised internship, passed a national exam administered by the American Dietetics Association and participates in continuing education.
On the other hand, In Colorado, anyone can use the title of nutritionist, nutrition counselor or nutrition advisor regardless of education and credentials. RDs are required to meet very specific and rigorous educational and professional standards. You can learn more by visiting www.eatright.org.
