All registered dietitians are nutritionists – but not all nutritionists are registered dietitians! The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics recently determined that those who hold the credential of registered dietitian (RD) may optionally use the title registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) instead. The two credentials have identical meanings. RDs and RDNs are your go-to experts for medical nutrition therapy, health and wellness, disease prevention and much more!
