What is the difference between a Registered Dietitian (RD) and a nutritionist?

A Registered Dietitian (RD or RDN) is a credentialed healthcare professional with extensive education and supervised practice experience. Unlike the term "nutritionist," which is not regulated, an RD provides evidence-based, reliable nutrition advice.

Yes, RDs are a critical part of the eating disorder treatment team. Dr. Jacqueline RD works collaboratively with therapists and doctors to help patients heal their relationship with food, establish regular eating patterns, and achieve nutritional rehabilitation in a supportive, non-judgmental way.

How can a dietitian help me manage my diabetes?

Dr. Jacqueline RD can help you manage your diabetes by teaching you about carbohydrate counting, balancing meals to stabilize blood sugar, and making healthy food choices without sacrificing flavor. This empowers you to take control of your condition.
