What is the difference between a Registered Dietitian and a Nutritionist?

A Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) is a professional who has completed a bachelor’s degree (or higher) in nutrition and dietetics, a 1,200-hour dietetic internship, and supervised practice and has passed a national board exam. Registered Dietitians complete 75 hours of continuing education every 5 years to maintain their credentials. 

A Nutritionist does not necessarily have a degree in nutrition or dietetics. It is simply a term some people might use to describe themselves if they are interested in nutrition or have self-studied nutrition. This is an important distinction when deciding who to take nutrition advice from. 

  • Courtney understood me in a way I have never experienced.

    I had always wished to get to a point in my life where I wasn't thinking about food 24/7 and using it as punishment or emotional comfort, instead of nourishment or it being a way to spend time with others. Courtney understood me in a way I have never experienced and that was such a good feeling. She has incredible insight into the challenges of eating disorders; and helped me slowly push myself to shift my beliefs I had held around food for 20 years. I am blessed to have met her and would recommend anyone struggling with a negative relationship with food to make an appointment with her.

  • I have learned so much from Courtney as she's guided our daughter.

    When my husband and I realized that our daughter was struggling with a possible eating disorder, we knew we needed outside support. Courtney came highly recommended as a nutritionist with expertise around disordered eating. From the very first appointment, I knew she was exactly who our daughter needed. Courtney's gentle, encouraging, knowledgeable, strong, and wise presence has been the greatest gift to our daughter and to our family. Courtney listens well, guides with beautiful and tender empathy, and communicates and challenges food narratives clearly and kindly. I am certain that our daughter would not be progressing as she is without the help and support of Courtney. I would recommend Courtney to anyone struggling with an eating disorder, disordered eating, or even just a complicated relationship around food and nutrition. I have learned so much from Courtney as she's guided our daughter. Her insights and approach have helped immensely, and I will be forever grateful for her wisdom and support.

  • Eating disorders are incredibly vulnerable to talk about, and Courtney has been so compassionate.

    I've had a complicated relationship with eating most of my life, recently taking the form of a restrictive eating disorder. Courtney has been the most amazing and supportive nutritionist I could have imagined. Eating disorders are incredibly vulnerable to talk about, and Courtney has been so compassionate and has met me at all the different places I have been throughout this experience. I was very nervous to open up about my struggles with eating and body image, but since the very first day, I have felt a true sense of freedom to share my struggles, wins, and everything in between with her. There have been so many times she has understood exactly what I'm feeling even when I struggle to put it into words. I have learned so much from her and have felt truly seen and understood. I joke with my mom that I wish she could be my nutritionist and my therapist. I can honestly say that I look forward to every appointment I have with Courtney, and I am so grateful for how she has helped me.
