Registered Dietitians & Healthy Aging
Nutrition is an essential part of healthy aging! Improving your diet can maximize your health, improve your skin, and prevent chronic disease.
Anyone can call themselves a “nutritionist”. Only a RD or RDN has completed multiple layers of education and training.
A Registered Dietitian Nutritionist attended several years of higher education, passed a national exam, and complete 1200 hours of supervised practice.
When seeking out nutrition guidance, ensure you are working with a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist.
