My Background as a Registered, Licensed Dietitian and Nutritionist (RD/N, LD)
When you meet with a Registered, Licensed Dietitian and Nutritionist (RD/N, LD), you know you are meeting with a nutrition expert. An RD/N, LD is a professional who has studied diet and nutrition at an approved college or university, completed a supervised 6-12 month practice program, passed an exam, and obtains required continuing education to maintain their RD/N, LD status.
Two reasons to look into your nutrition professional’s credentials:
- Dietitians/nutritionists specialize in many different areas so it is important to select one who is experienced in the area for which you are seeking guidance
- In New Hampshire, anyone can call themselves a “nutritionist”
