Registered Dietitian vs. Nutritionist: The Difference Is Evidence-Based Practice
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2017
- When I first became a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, I got a lot of questions from friends about my new profession, namely, "What's a Registered Dietitian?!"
This video addresses that question and outlines the difference between RDs and "nutritionists," including explaining a key guideline for RDs: evidence-based practice.

For anyone watching this video and maybe reading this: RD is not the only certifying body for nutrition professionals. The ANA offers the Certified Nutrition Specialist to Masters Degree holders in Human Nutrition, Functional Medicine, etc. This is recognized by almost all states as certification required to legally call yourself a Nutritionist with "title protection." Additionally, many states offer state licensure guidelines that let you become certified at the state level or, in some instances, require it to call yourself a nutritionist. Common titles for a non RD nutritionist include LN (licensed nutritionist) and LDN (Licensed Dietary/Dietician Nutritionist). The scope of practice with this degree includes the ability to see patients, provide nutritional counseling, and even bill insurance. In order to earn the CNS and a state level license, one must obtain a Masters degree in Human Nutrition, complete 1,000 hours of supervised training, pass the CNS examination, and, if necessary, obtain state level licensure as well.
Unfortunately, many RDs fail to include this in their explanations as to what the difference between an RD and nutritionist is which can lump in those who seek to get Board Certified through the ANA as those who take an online course and call themselves nutritionists.
In all: the RD licensure pathway is one of two ways to obtain board and state licensure, obtain insurance, and get a license to practice. In many instances, the job roles can be interchangeable. In many instances, one patient may prefer a CNS vs an RD, too.
As a board certified nutritionist I am so happy to see your response. There is alot of confusion about credentials. A CNS or certified nutrition specialist must have a minimum of masters degree in nutrition, complete supervised training and as you mention, pass the rigorous board certification exam.
None of this was mentioned in this video. RD's can get certified with a Bachelors degree. I think that will change in a couple of years. but up to this point their educational requirement is much less than what it takes to be a certified nutritionist.
I think some confusion comes into play when "influencers" call themselves nutritionists and have little to no credentials. That's actually illegal but it continues to happen.
My masters degree is in clinical nutrition and I'm board certified. So glad to see another viewpoint here.
Love that you explained this so simply! I am seeing a RD right now and I love how what he tells me his evidence based and not myths!
Thanks for answering the #1 question I get ALL THE TIME!!!!
All my RD friends will totally love this! Thanks!
Congrats! Thanks for the explanation, the emphasis on science and for shouting out to holistic/integrative approaches as well.
This is so informative, thanks for clearing it all up... I was wondering recently actually!
Love your focus on the BIG picture. Thanks for sharing!
This is brilliant! Explained so well, along with some fun!
Love it! Thanks for setting the record straight girl!
Great explanation Whitney! Also love that kitchen 😍
Congrats on the new title! So much to be proud of!
00:35 Says she won't waste time big noting herself, then proceeds to spend 10 seconds rattling off a few little speedbumps she had to endure to get her certification lol. I love when someone tries to humble brag in such transparent fashion.
Thanks for explaining the difference - because there IS a difference!!
Super informative and entertaining as always!!
Well explained and you have such a great personality! :)
Such important info! Thanks for sharing :)
There are accredited holistic nutrition programs who are also evidence based. I'm not talking a 3 month coaching program but a 1-3 year program full of science...Things change , cigarettes were once also considered healthy. There is also the evidence of obese nearly dead people walking around North America like zombies ...so I'm not sure if dieticians and general doctors are doing such great jobs advising people on what healthy diet is. It is def not the standard American diet consisting of hospital sugary jello, white bread and low fat diet.
Corporations should only incorporate healthy foods then people will change without that nothing will change. Make that Cheeseburger healthy. Make all the sweets healthy sweets. Sounds impossible. Lifestyles need to change. (band )cigarettes and alcohol. Or offer help with the Products they sell. It’s hard with people with no self control. This is my statement to the people. You want to feel good don’t intoxicated yourself With junk substance 😉👍🏾 overcome.
Yes, I've got this question so many times!
I love this! Excellent explanation.
And that practical live experience makes all the difference
Thank you for the great explanation!
Thanks for making this video!
Nicely explained. And great presentation skills.
Thank you for this advice, I'm inspired and really want to become an rd too! :)
Thank you!
The "evidence based practice" can be skewed (Big corporations work hand & hand with the government to have their privatized studies pushed to the forefront). That's why Americans are in an obesity pandemic.
Unfortunately, this truth is usually hidden in the prestige of the fact Rd is a registered regulated title. There is a definite feeling of looking down of others... But many people have been healed (not just symptoms) by REAL naturopathic means
@@adailydaughter6196 yeah RDs are a total joke. If they are conventional in their approach then they are trash
Thank you. Great explanation. Super smart and very pretty too. Love the sunflowers too. Jack Lulane said if the Earth grows it then eat it but if man made it then don't eat it. Very succinct I think.
Thank you! 🙏🌱
There is a very overweight certified nutritionist selling a 21 day plan for insulin resistance who used to be a beachbody coach, and she was actually at a healthy weight when she was using beachbody and drinking shakeology.
Thanks for the info!
Side note: why do you have a faucet over your stove?
How do I know how much of every vitamin and minerals to take every day out of the substance that I intake?
What is and optimal amount for males? I’m just looking for something that I can refer to like a book or app. Thanks 🙏🏾
Ty now Ik that RD is better to me personally
Great video! I’m going to study functional nutrition and I’m trying to select the right program for me. I’ve been practicing full time as a dental hygienist for 20 years and it will be the perfect transition. What advice do you have for me?
Awesome!!
Hello, my mom is a kidney patient. She has very high levels of iron (Ferritin). She needs to grow her blood cells too as she has low blood hemoglobin. As a kidney patient, can You tell me how she can lower her iron level and higher her blood cell level at the same time? You can suggest a diet chart or any kind of medication or exercise as well as whatever you like to move on.
Is Smart weighing scale, (which tells you about your age,muscle mass, fat etc )reliable?
Hello, I have a question! I am holding bachelor of pharmacy but I want to continue master food and nutrition.is it possible?
Hi, my cousin was just diagnosed with cirrhosis. Obviously, her diet has yo change immediately and asap. Would you recommend her going to a nutritionist or RD? She needs guidance what to eat, how much, what's good what's not etc. Thank you. Any feedback would be appreciated.
is it just me or is the audio a little low?
This is an excellent video that I'd love to include in my online course at City College of San Francisco. We are required that our video content have accurate captions to meet accessibility guidelines. Would you be willing to enable the Community Captions feature so I can provide appropriate captioning (which you would then need to approve)? Thanks so much
@@WhitneyERDN Thanks for your reply! Could you kindly check again - seems the auto-captions are still playing (maybe you didn't unpublish the English Automatic track?). FYI, here's a quick video on how to edit auto-captions: ruclips.net/video/45cgMqrd7qc/видео.html. Thanks so much.
Really like the video. However, I had to turn my sound system way up to hear you. Your voice appears not have been recorded loud enough.
Nutritionist can Work as a Regulatory Specialist???
What would be an example of health practitioners that are not RD's that relly on anecdotal stories to help clients? Would you say a Natropath would be one of those?
I believe she’s referring to Health & Life Coaches who rely on anecdotal stories to help clients!
I used to be a skinny model and I was able to eat as much as I want.
There was a medical accident and my body system was damaged very very bad.
I don't have fast metabolism anymore at least for years more.
I was always in a good shape whatever I eat but now it's not. so,
Especially my belly fat and gut fat is dangerous level although I eat less than before so it
means my body type is changed (slow metabolism, slow digest, like elder or people who originally had very slow metabolism). Also, I can exercise limited amount only.(walk and stretching. maybe muscle exercise not hard for short as possible.). I eat 1~4times a day so it was it was irregular. If I don't eat carb, sort, sugar a lot(like chinese food or korean) I feel down but I regret every time after eat a lot as digestion is slow. But I started to change from today. My weight is always 13kg above compared before the accident. My stomach nerve was damaged too so
it's slow and always out. But when I eat less for long, it goes back in quite a bit.
I just wonder what kind of eating style would be good for me and how often too..
If it is and opinion, I would appreciate.
thank you for reading!
l jh Hey, I'm not a dietician or scientist, might it be possible to have your gut bacteria analysed? There's some interesting research around the composition of bacteria in the gut and the body's weight. There was a BBC series with Dr Michael Mosely that discusses it.
I would advise seeking help from a registered dietician who would need to learn about your body and needs.
I can't hear you!
How can you find an RD? I'm wanting to go see someone but I don't know how to go about it.
If you have a medical provider ask them to put in a referral. Mine put a referral and eventually I got an appointment with one.
Hi Whitney. I'm a certified personal trainer & I want to know if a certication programme like Precision Nutrition makes me eligible to provide diet plans for my clients?
I’d like to know the answer to this also.
Can you recommend an rd in San Antonio?
Thank you
which university u attended to become a RD and is chemistry mandatory to enter the university to do dietetics?
I went to Florida state university and yes multiple chemistry classes are required to become an RD
I wondered the same I'm a ISSA Nutritionist..
Hey hows it going for you. Did u start tout own business or work with a company?
Plzz suggest me carrier in m.sc nutrition
So if I say that adopting a whole food plant based diet has been proved by endless studies to be the single best way to help prevent, treat, and even reverse some of our leading causes of death, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure, would you go vegan then? #itsscience.
Plants can be deadly too. Sugar comes from sugar cane(diabetes), tobacco from tobacco plants(cancer), cashews can be deadly(Urushiol ), and so can peanuts and peanut butter(lectins),etc. Soy is actually killing ecosystems in Brazil, almond flowers produce dry flowers so the pollinators have to do more work for less nectar, the avocado has a whole crime syndicate called the avocado mafia, and Iceberg lettuce just had a recent E. coli outbreak. Also however much you want have a plant based diet, the fact we're omnivores means we get some nutrients from meats(B12,creatine,D3,Omega-3,etc) and in fact people eat insects for those nutrients too, not just cow, chicken, fish, etc (www.fao.org/docrep/018/i3253e/i3253e.pdf) .
Don't get to in the weeds in plant based because we need animal products more so than we need plants. Animal vitamins, like retinol vs pre vitamin A beta carotene, are more bioavailable to humans. Animal based protein is superior. Vitamin D naturally occurs in animal based foods to a larger degree, the amounts in plants are hardly beneficial as you'd have to eat pounds and pounds of mushrooms to get anything beneficial and thats not natural by any means.
B vitamins, particularly B12 are almost entirely available in animal products.
I prefer having an animal based diet with fruits and veggies on the side. 65/35. Makes me stronger and perform better in the gym.
This video is so disappointing. You’ve left out and entire industry of professionals, NUTRITIONISTS, who have completed a Master’s in Clinical Nutrition from an accredited university which is completely evidence based science and eligible to sit for board exams. The Certified Nutrition Specialist credential (CNS)is the most advanced certification for personalized nutrition practitioners. Certified Nutrition Specialists practice science-based personalized nutrition therapy to power people to health. Please be more responsible with your explanations so you don’t discredit ALL nutritionists and disrespect our education, hard earned degrees, and designations. Thank you.
She's a shill for a useless designation. RDs are 💩
This isn’t entirely true certified nutrition specialists also use evidenced based practice
Specialist sports nutrition
I miss Fresno
The volume on this video is low. Is there anyway you can fix it?
You are beautiful , njoyed your video
No it’s not.
Well, according to a nutritionist... The proof is in the pudding!
Dietitians in Australia do an extra year more than a nutritionist! Nutritionists are community based whereas dietitians are clinical based.
I did nutrition and I swear it was a waste of a degree! No Jobs!!
@Lewis Blanchard totally agree 👍 I wasted 4 years of my life and debt of 30K!
THis is not the case in the U.S. Nutritionists have private practices, can work in hospitals and can work in public health.
@@carolamendoladanca lucky for you! I should move to America 👌
@@cleopetra87 Hi, This was just posted on my youtube channel with what I do as a nutritionist. I know it's not the same for everyone and I"m working like crazy. Thought you might enjoy listening for a few minutes as I think you could do the same anywhere. studio.ruclips.net/user/videon3J8t8EyUXk/edit
@@cleopetra87 yeah you should Australia is a concentration camp can't believe yall put up with the gov forcing yall to stay home and ruining your lives
What happens to the registered dietitians that do not back up their statements with science? Like the ones recommending veganism and telling people that meat is bad.
a vegan diet is demonstrated to be healthy. A lot of meat is bad for you, especially processed meats like sausages, bacon, and corned beef are Group 1 carcinogens for humans, and red meat is a Group 2A carcinogen. Meat also raises your cholesterol levels, an element that has a causal relationship with heart disease.
I don't know where you get that dietitians that recommend veganism don't support science, but you do you
@@AlWwW1 Weak correlations that are picked out on purpose out of hundreds (if not thousands) variables in an epidemiology study is not proof of causality, because it can't be. All of those things are based on this kind of things. I talk about actual science and actually healthy things.
Cholesterol is not dangerous.
@@VerySeriousUser Cholesterol is not dangerous, okay. If by that you mean consuming food with cholesterol then I have nothing else to say, you can believe what you want, but at the end of the day high cholesterol causes heart disease
@@AlWwW1 Where is the proof? I don't want you to believe me, I want you to question things that are not proof of causal relationships but protrayed as such. You'd be surprised at what is actually indicated by science.
Neither dietary cholesterol nor serum cholesterol has been proven to cause CVD.
We simply don't have randomized controlled trials of the intake of individual foods over the course of a lifetime - it can't be done. We rely on observational research and studies of long-lived populations (Blue Zones) to suss out what an ideal diet consists of. The overwhelming evidence - whether or not you choose to believe it - shows that a predominantly plant-based diet is the key to good health.
I don’t trust RDs anymore. RDs have to toe the line of the academy of foods and nutrition which receives money from Coca Cola ,Wendy’s, etc. RDs knowledge is outdated. RDs have to follow government guidelines which was corrupted by the food industry. RDs got me obsessed about the number in the scale and calories in vs calories out which backfires . RDs still think that eating fat is bad but they are ok with eating sugar and carbs. They are ok with eating 6 times a day to “control hunger “and “maintain metabolism” but the reality is the opposite. it’s sad that the RD is used and salesman for the processed food industry.
None of this is accurate. I'm sorry to hear you had a bad experience with an RD. Not all RDs are created equally. Should you seek out nutritional guidance again, I'd advise you to find evidence-based dietitian, with a holistic approach who specializes in intuitive eating.
This is why you see an R.D. who bases their scientific approach to food with a Whole Foods plant-based lifestyle. You’ll be quite shocked at the difference and the less mainstream scholarly articles that aren’t sponsored by the meat and dairy industry in North America.
Unfortunately so true. Not all, but most have to abide by this so called "evidence" or risk being struck off. But who funds the research that is allowed to be used??? Perfect example, the myth that cholesterol is bad... When real science shows it is ESSENTIAL for hormone function and sexual function. But if people knew how to REALLY stop arteries clogging, they wouldn't use statins with all their harmful side effects. So the truth is not part of Rd. mainstream education. And why most hospitals still serve tea, coffee, sugary biscuits white carbs and hardly any greens or fruit even after surgery. We've become so relent on others instead of reading for ourselves. But there is hope. Take the best unbiased information and look for evidence of HEALING in real people not so called studies.
@@auntarktica did you know that SAD (Standard america diet) IS plant based?
We should lean more on animal products than plants.
