Get In Touch With Our Registered Dietitians.

Nope! We don’t even have a scale.

We strongly believe weight is not the best metric used to track your progress, and we are both HAES-based (Health at Every Size) providers. This means we don’t use weight as a measure of health. Instead, we love exploring how someone feels, how their energy levels have changed, and how confident and comfortable they feel around food. Other than that, because we are clinically trained, we may look at different labs or blood work ordered by us or your doctor to see how things are going. However, at the end of the day, how we track your progress toward your goals is totally in your hands, and we want to honor what makes you feel comfortable.

While we can absolutely help you develop a healthy nutrition and lifestyle pattern overall (ie exercise, sleep, stress, metabolic health, etc), we don't specifically offer weight loss-focused services. Anything that we do with the above may or may not result in weight loss, but it's not something that we specifically promote or focus on with our clients as our services take a non-weight based or weight neutral approach (and because everyone's genetics are different!).

Officially from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (aka Registered Dietitian, RD, or RDN) is an expert in food and nutrition who has met the following academic and professional requirements:

• Earned a Bachelor's degree with course work approved by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics' Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics. Coursework includes: food and nutrition sciences, business, sociology, biochemistry, physiology, microbiology, and chemistry.

• Completed an accredited, extensive supervised practice program with direct patient contact at a health care facility, community agency, or food service corporation (depending on the dietitian's interest and career goals).

• Passed a rigorous national registration examination administered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration.

• Completes continuing professional education requirements to maintain registration on an ongoing basis.

There is no difference between a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and a Registered Dietitian. However, there is a difference between a Dietitian and Nutritionist.

While the title "Registered Dietitian" or "Registered Dietitian Nutritionist" is heavily regulated, there is very little regulation on using the term "nutritionist," "nutrition expert," "nutrition coach," "health coach," "wellness coach," and so on without any education or professional development requirements. While some states allow for the "certified or licensed nutritionist" title, only Registered Dietitians are allowed to practice medical nutrition therapy for acute and chronic diseases.

While many nutritionists are very knowledgeable, experienced, and capable, RDs and RDNs have met the most rigorous requirements and are the established experts in food and nutrition.

Every Registered Dietitian is a Nutritionist, but not every Nutritionist is a Registered Dietitian.
