FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Registered dietitians (RD) are required to take continuing education classes to maintain their RD status. Any one can call themselves a nutritionist but a registered dietitian has the education to back her knowledge up.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
Food is a wonderful thing and I want to see everyone enjoy it as much as I do.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Whether it is learning how to cook or seeking the advice of a nutritionist, you need to feel comfortable with that person so that you can ask questions. Specifically regarding the cooking aspect, no one was born knowing how to cook so there are no stupid questions or stupid mistakes. With a dietitian, if you don't feel comfortable telling your food secrets to her, then she is not the dietitian for you.
