Here are answers to some common questions about proactive Registered Dietitian Nutritionist care with Dr. Jean LD:

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. The term "nutritionist" is not regulated, and therefore, does not have the same rigorous standards. An RD provides evidence-based, reliable nutrition advice.
