Well, let's start with this--a Registered Dietitian (RD) does not wear a hair net
(unless she is working in foodservice).
You can invite an RD to dinner without worrying about what you will serve him/her.
R.D. stands for “Registered Dietitian”. An RD is THE nutrition expert.

RDs provide individualized nutrition counseling, called Medical Nutrition Therapy. Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) involves in-depth individualized nutrition assessment and a duration and frequency of care using the Nutrition Care Process to manage disease. |

There are a lot of people who call themselves "nutritionists" who do NOT have the qualifications of a Registered Dietitian. You do not need a license to “practice” nutrition in many states of our country. All N.E.W. LIFE Dietitians are Registered Dietitians. |

An RD can provide correct, up-to-date nutrition information and provide an individual eating plan for cardiovascular disease, diabetes, intestinal disorders, weight-loss, sports nutrition, eating disorders, prevention of cancer and more. |
