Registered Dietitian

Every Body's Personal Trainer is happy to announce that we will soon be welcoming a staff dietitian (RD) to our team. As we all know, nutrition and exercise go hand and hand. We feel that offering the services of a dietitian will be of great benefit to our clients....

The Diet Expertise Needed
Dietetics is a high-tech science requiring significant training and education. The credentialing process as well as the training and expertise of a dietitian qualifies them as experts in applying and understanding the science behind diet and nutrition. Dietitians, (or dieticians), are recognized by the medical community as the nutrition and diet experts. They can best help you resolve your nutrition and diet challenges, but unfortunately most people have never been to one and they often get their nutrition advice from friends, relatives, or commercial diet companies that are less competent. As a matter of fact, only about 1% of the population gets expert nutrition help - no wonder there is such a weight loss epidemic in the United States!

Dietitian's Qualifications

Registered Dietitians complete a minimum of a bachelor's degree in a college/university and an accredited experiential program. RDs are also required to demonstrate their knowledge of food and nutrition by successfully passing a national credentialing exam. Dietitians are one of the few, if not the only, diet experts who must complete ongoing continuing professional development, similar to what physicians and other health care professionals do in their own areas of expertise. This keeps dieticians up to date with the latest developments in the science of diet and nutrition.

Coursework: Dietitians study a variety of subjects, ranging from food and nutrition sciences, computer science, culinary arts, sociology, and communication, and health and science courses such as biochemistry, psychology, organic chemistry, physiology, microbiology, anatomy, and chemistry, and more.

People want to feel good and look good. Eating right and staying healthy is a real challenge now more than ever, because with busy schedules and a hectic lifestyle, we rely more and more on restaurants and convenience foods to provide our meals and good nutrition. Learning how to eat right and to succeed at our diet and health goals requires someone knowledgeable who can simplify the complexities of good nutrition and be able to translate that into simple goals that we can all apply and achieve.
