Registered Nutritionist
Registered Dietitian Nutritionist
Or, simply Dietitian

Why See a Private Practice Dietitian
In Canada, if you are a patient with a ‘nutrition condition,’ you may be able to see a Dietitian through the public health care system. Simply speak with your family doctor regarding which services may be available to you.
Private practice Dietitians offer more customized and specialized services, including meal planning, and sports nutrition. With a private practice Dietitian you may see or work with them on a more frequent basis.
Private practice Dietitians offer preventative options for health. Why wait to see a Dietitian because something is already wrong?
