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

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 training and supervised practice experience. The term "nutritionist" is not regulated, and therefore, not all nutritionists have the same level of education and experience as an RD. An RD provides evidence-based, reliable nutrition advice.

This personalized approach is key to achieving your goals.
