What is a Dietitian?
Dietitians are health professionals who give expert advice on food and nutrition. Their role is to assess your dietary intake in order to promote health and longevity.
Dietitians treat a wide variety of age groups from birth to late adulthood, and can help you with a variety of health concerns.
They can also help people achieve weight loss or improve health conditions, such as diabetes or heart disease, by recommending specific changes to food intake.
Dietitians, as opposed to Nutritionists, have accredited university qualifications. They are true specialists in nutrition and will help you reach your goals.
