Where are you getting your nutrition advice?
"Help! I need a health coach!" Nutrition trends are always changing. There are a lot of fad diet programs out there offering conflicting nutrition advice, much of which is not backed up by science. Many are overly expensive, promise miracles, have short-term results (or no results at all), and most do not have your long-term well-being as their goal. They can be hard to stick to, unnecessarily restrictive, and even dangerous.
Registered Dietitians
are Health and Nutrition Experts.
Did you know that just about anyone can call themselves a "nutritionist"? Registered Dietitians have extensive knowledge pertaining to the functioning of the human body, its chemical processes, development, and aging, both in health and under disease conditions. They have a deep understanding about how our genes interact with our environment, stress, and the medications we take, and how all of this impacts our ability to take in, absorb, and utilize nutrients.
