What is a Registered Dietitian?

  • Requires formal schooling to obtain a bachelor’s degree, completes a 1-year internship, and passes a national R.D. Exam to obtain their Dietitian Certificate
  • Focuses on the diagnoses and dietary treatment of many diseases post-diagnosis
  • Takes a standardized approach to nutrition, concentrating on food and diet
  • Practices most frequently in a conventional medical setting most commonly, such as a hospital or public health center, working with doctors to help patients who have health conditions
  • Follows strict guidelines in terms of the recommendations they can make to patients, and does not take into account the non-dietary aspects of lifestyle

What is a Nutritionist?

  • Requires no specific schooling or certification, as this is usually a non-regulated title, depending on your country
  • Focuses on nutrition and diet
  • Takes various approaches, as the lack of title regulation means that nutritionists have differing backgrounds and styles
  • Practices in different settings
  • Follows their own guidelines, as the "nutritionist" title is not always legally regulated

What is a Health Coach

  • Requires completion of a training program
  • Focuses on disease prevention, reducing stress, and creating balance in all areas of life, including (but not limited to) diet
  • Takes a holistic approach to helping clients achieve wellness goals, working with them as a supportive mentor
  • Enjoys the freedom to practice in multiple settings
