3 Reasons You Should Work With a Dietitian

It's no surprise that good nutrition is crucial for your short term and long term health, but where should you go for nutrition advice? The internet can be a great place to learn more about nutrition, but it is also full of unqualified, self proclaimed nutrition "experts" that tend to give out less than accurate information. So if not them, then who? 

That's where registered dietitians come in!

Registered dietitians (also called dietitians or RD's) are qualified nutrition experts that have obtained a degree in nutrition & dietetics from an accredited university, completed supervised training in the nutrition field, and have passed the necessary licensure exams & requirements for where they are practicing. They are trained professionals when it comes to nutrition, and they are well equipped to help you reach your health & nutrition goals!

Here are 3 reasons you should work with a dietitian: 

1. Get personalized nutrition advice - Nutrition is never one size fits all. You need to find what works best for you, your health goals, your preferences, your unique needs, ect. A dietitian can help you determine the best plan of action to create sustainable change that will be effective for you. 

2. It's a collaborative process - While dietitians may be the nutrition expert, you are the expert of your own body! Working together is the best way to find solutions that will work for your body, health, lifestyle & goals. 

3. Expert knowledge and application - Knowledge is only power when it can be applied! Dietitians can help you find new ways to apply nutrition concepts that will fit in your busy & unique lifestyle. With knowledge & experience, they are ready to help you achieve your goals.
