Q&A
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DIETITIAN AND NUTRITIONIST?
All dietitians are nutritionists but not all nutritionists are dietitians. In the United States a dietitian has to have a bachelor's degree in science, complete a year-long internship and pass a nationally-credited exam in order to become a registered dietitian (RD) or registered dietitian/nutritionist (RDN).
​
RD's are qualified to practice across a broad range of settings, such as hospitals, research institutions, and sports teams. They may prescribe nutrition therapy to help treat or prevent acute and chronic illnesses.
​
​
WILL MY HEALTH INSURANCE COVER DIETITIAN SERVICES?
Most likely not as the services they cover are very limited. I do not accept health insurance reimbursement but I'm happy to provide you with a receipt to file on your own.
WHAT FORMS OF PAYMENT DO YOU TAKEÂ TAKE?
All credit cards are accepted
