General Dietitian Services

What is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN)?

A Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) is a food and nutrition expert who has completed multiple levels of training established by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Our dietitian team has met specific academic and professional requirements, including earning a master's degree, completing a supervised practice program, and passing a national examination. RDNs are qualified to provide medical nutrition therapy and personalized nutrition counseling throughout the DFW area.

How is an RDN different from a nutritionist?

While all RDNs are nutritionists, not all nutritionists are RDNs. The RDN credential signifies a higher level of education, supervised practice, and a national exam, ensuring a recognized standard of expertise and ethical practice in the field of nutrition and dietetics. Our registered dietitian nutritionist team provides the highest level of credentialed nutrition therapy services.
