The Diet and nutrition experts
Dieticians work with the most challenged dieters.  Many difficult diet issues - ranging from special nutrition disorders, to the more recognized issues of high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, or obesity, and general weight loss are best addressed by those professionally trained and experienced in nutrition counseling - registered dieticians.

If you've ever had a serious health problem that required a change in diet, chances are your doctor referred you to the services of a registered dietician. Few doctors specialize in nutrition and usually refer their patients to consulting registered dieticians for the help they need. 

The Diet Expertise Needed - Dietetics is a high-tech science requiring significant training and education.  The credentialing process as well as the training and expertise of a dietician qualifies them as experts in applying and understanding the science behind diet and nutrition.  Dieticians, (or dieticians), are recognized by the medical community as the nutrition and diet experts. They can best help you resolve your nutrition and diet challenges, but unfortunately most people have never been to one and they often get their nutrition advice from friends, relatives, or commercial diet companies that are less competent. As a matter of fact, only about 1% of the population gets expert nutrition help - no wonder there is such a weight loss epidemic in the United States!

Dietician Qualifications
Dieticians complete a minimum of a bachelor's degree in a college/university and an accredited experiential program. RDs are also required to demonstrate their knowledge of food and nutrition by successfully passing a national credentialing exam. Dieticians are one of the few, if not the only, diet experts who must complete ongoing continuing professional development, similar to what physicians and other health care professionals do in their own areas of expertise. This keeps dieticians up to date with the latest developments in the science of diet and nutrition.  

People want to feel good and look good. Eating right and staying healthy is a real challenge now more than ever, because with busy schedules and a hectic lifestyle, we rely more and more on restaurants and  convenience foods to provide our meals and good nutrition.  Learning how to eat right and to succeed at our diet and health goals requires someone knowledgeable who can simplify the complexities of good nutrition and be able to translate that into simple goals that we can all apply and achieve.

PERSONAL QUALITIES  AND EXPERIENCE YOU CAN TRUST
Personal Dietician's experts have the expertise and experience to help you achieve your goals.  

They posses both knowledge and the personal skills and professional qualities we all appreciate!  Good judgment and an understanding of human nature is vital to helping you achieve your goals and we expect our consultants to do just that. 

Dieticians who have applied and who work for Personal Dietician come from a variety of backgrounds: Hospitals, health care facilities, sports nutrition companies, food and nutrition-related businesses and industries, private practice, community and public health settings, universities and medical centers, research in food and pharmaceutical companies.

Dieticians educate, administer medical nutrition therapy, teach, advise, and generally help by improving one's life through healthy eating habits.

Our chief dietician, Carolyn Classick-Kohn, MS, RD for example, has worked with physicians and nurses, and has trained patients in diabetes management, nutrition during and after pregnancy, heart health, cholesterol, lipid and fat disorders, high blood pressure, and weight loss. She has provided lectures to a variety of people, including medical students,  nurses, and teachers, and has worked one-on-one with patients in her private practice. She has worked in a research facility working on the front edge of the science of nutrition.

Some of our RDs have additional certifications. Within nutrition there are specialized areas of practice. Some of the consulting dieticians we refer to  work with pediatric and renal nutrition, while others carry both the RD and CDE credentialing; meaning they are certified diabetes educators with a specialization in diabetes education. These extra certifications, of course, make them particularly capable in their respective areas of practice.

All Personal Dietician's consulting dieticians have backgrounds in either healthcare, education, research, fitness, and/or work in consulting private practices of their own, assuring you the best possible talent and resources to help you meet your goals.
