When should you see a registered dietician or board-certified nutritionist?

Dieticians and certified nutritionists have superior nutritional knowledge compared to physicians, physician assistants, or nurse practitioners, especially for health issues and lifestyle changes.

Deciding whether to see a board-certified nutritionist can depend on your personal health goals, dietary needs, and existing health conditions. Board-certified nutritionists are trained professionals equipped to offer personalized nutrition advice and can be an invaluable resource for various reasons. Additionally, they are licensed by a state board.
