What is an RDN?
A Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) is a nutrition professional that has undergone extensive education and training to become certified to practice and provide Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT). A Dietitian’s job as a whole is to translate the complex science of nutrition into practical everyday solutions for healthy living. This is not to be confused with anyone who can call themselves a ‘nutritionist’ – as this is not regulated. The RDN designation highlights the fact that all registered dietitians are nutritionists but not all nutritionists are registered dietitians.
Certification Requirements:
- Completed a minimum of a bachelor’s degree at a US regionally accredited university or college and course work accredited or approved by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND) of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics.
- Completed an ACEND-accredited supervised practice program at a health-care facility, community agency, or a foodservice corporation or combined with undergraduate or graduate studies. Typically, a practice program will run six to 12 months in length.
- Passed a national examination administered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR). For more information regarding the examination, refer to CDR’s website at www.cdrnet.org.

“I have lost 110 lbs and I have done it so easily. My theory is that HFCS was my kryptonite and once I learned to mostly avoid it, it was all smooth sailing. I was literally taking every night at 1 AM starving ( in my head ) and feeding that monster. I had a few other food cravings that had to be dealt with, but it was all a matter of making smarter choices and keeping the really bad stuff out of the house. In 1981 I was just out of the Army and maybe 205 lbs. I got married, got a desk job and began putting on about 5# each year. Fast forward 30 some years and I was heavy. I finally took action.”
“This is a Thank You. I hired you folks in 2015 and I got serious about dieting on Jan 1, 2016. It was your dietitian that taught me about food labels, shopping, pre-prepping food, bad food, good food and learning by experimenting.”
“I went from 355# to a current weight of 245#. My activity level has increased dramatically. My wife and I actually went backpacking for 4 days last month, slept on the ground and had a great time. I could not do that 4 years ago.”
