FAQ

Registered Dietitians (RD) and Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDN) are the same. It is up to the practitioner which designation they chose to use. They can also use them interchangeably. We are certified by the Commission on Dietetic Registration –  “RDs are food and nutrition experts who have met the Commission on Dietetic Registration’s (CDR) criteria to earn the RD credential. RDs work in a wide variety of employment settings, including health care, business and industry, community/public health, education, research, government agencies and private practice.”

We also have a scope of practice and ethics standards we must uphold.  We have to complete continuing education requirements for recertification every five years. To be eligible to become an RD, you must have at least a Bachelor’s degree, complete a didactic program in dietetics, and a practical 6-to-12-month internship. Many RD’s have Master’s degrees and PhDs, along with additional specific board certifications. Registered Dietitians are the nutrition experts, unlike the blanket term “nutritionist”.

I base my prices on insurance reimbursement rates. Costs vary based on the number of visits and time spent directly and indirectly with clients. By providing packages, I can utilize time more efficiently and pass the savings onto my clients. Labs, tests, and supplement costs are set by the companies that provide those products and services. Some of these services may not be covered by your health insurance. Schedule a free discovery call with me to discuss the details. View my program options here.
