A Registered Dietitian Nutritionist is the most credible source for nutrition information. An RDN is highly trained with a degree in human nutrition which includes not only counseling and theory classes, but also many rigorous science courses in biology, chemistry and physiology. In addition, every RDN has to complete a one year accredited internship and pass a national examination. Once licensed, they are required to complete approved continuing education in order to maintain their license. An RDN is considered a health care professional and thus able to accept insurance reimbursement for their services.
A nutritionist can also be a nutrition expert, and may even possess a nutrition degree, but their level of training varies widely. Anyone can call themselves as a nutritionist or nutrition expert, but you must be aware of the possible discrepancies with their knowledge. There are no regulations to this claim and thus nutritionists cannot accept insurance reimbursement for their services.
Providers at Ft. Collins Nutrition are Registered Dietitian Nutritionists. In addition to these credentials, they have received a minimum of 75 hours per term of accredited nutrition continuing education.
