Finding a Nutrition Expert
Do you find yourself confused by an overload of nutrition information coming at you from seemingly all directions, such as: television, magazines, newspapers, friends, family, doctors, blogs, etc.?
Maybe you just are wondering how to eat healthy and would like some guidance with menu planning, recipes and cooking. Or do you have a chronic health condition and are looking for reliable nutrition information from a trusted nutrition expert?
It can be confusing to decide where to go to find reliable nutrition information. For instance, is there a difference between a nutritionist and a registered dietitian, RD?
An RD 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 Dietetic 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.
