What is a Registered Dietitian?

Registered Dietitians (RDs or RDNs) are licensed healthcare professionals in the field of nutrition trained to diagnose and treat nutrition-related illnesses and counsel patients in all areas of nutrition-focused wellness care. Dietitians work collaboratively with your healthcare team, including physicians, nurse practitioners, and specialists to provide an individualized patient approach.
