Functional nutrition is a holistic approach to wellness that focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of health concerns, rather than just treating the symptoms. Dietitians certified in Integrative and Functional Nutrition are trained to provide personalized, one-on-one support to help clients optimize their health through nutrition.

A registered dietitian (RD) and a nutritionist may seem interchangeable, but there are important distinctions between the two: Registered Dietitians undergo extensive education and training, typically earning a bachelor’s or master's degree in nutrition or a related field, completing a supervised internship, and passing a national exam. They are regulated by the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR) and often hold advanced degrees. Nutritionists, on the other hand, may have a range of educational backgrounds, from a bachelor’s degree in nutrition to certifications from various programs. The requirements for becoming a nutritionist vary widely depending on the country, state, or organization. In summary, while both RDs and nutritionists have expertise in nutrition, RDs have a more regulated and medically focused scope of practice, whereas nutritionists often specialize in health and wellness promotion. It's essential to consider your specific health needs and goals when seeking guidance from either professional.
