Why See A Licensed Dietitian/Nutritionist

So, what is a Licensed Dietitian/Nutritionist and why would you want to see one?

🍎A Licensed Dietitian/Nutritionist has earned credentials from a nationally recognized nutrition licensing body, such as the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (AND), the Certification Board for Nutrition Specialists (CBNS) or the Clinical Nutrition Certification Board (CNCB). Once licensed to practice in a particular state, a Licensed Dietitian/Nutritionist may legally provide nutrition counseling, nutrition services and advice. Settings in which Licensed Nutritionist may work include hospitals, long-term care facilities, schools, community programs and nonprofit organizations.

🍎What are the benefits of working with a dietitian?
When you go to see a dietitian, it isn’t like hopping on board with the latest fad diet. A dietitian knows that with nutritional care, there is no one-size-fits-all diet. A dietitian takes your medical history into account, learns what kinds of foods you like, and what your lifestyle is like to recommend strategies to work towards good health in a way that you’ll enjoy and benefit from. A dietitian will even help with issues such as food intolerances and sensitivities to help fill any nutrition deficiencies.

🍎In your first session, you’ll start with a plan and begin setting goals and then, as you continue to go to follow up sessions, you are maintaining and reporting progress and developing new strategies to combat eating dilemmas as they arise to make for long lasting results.
