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

Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) is an evidence-based approach to managing medical conditions through a personalized diet plan. A registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) provides this formal process to help manage diseases such as kidney disease, diabetes, or heart disease. Insurance often covers MNT services.
