Dietitian's Diets
Designed by Diet & Nutrition Experts
Dietitians work with the most challenged dieters.
Many difficult diet issues - ranging from
obesity to the issues of high cholesterol, high
blood pressure, diabetes and general weight loss are
best addressed by those professionally trained and
experienced in nutrition counseling - registered
dietitians.
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
dietitian. Few doctors specialize in nutrition and
usually refer their patients to consulting
registered dietitians 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 dietitian qualifies them as experts
in applying and understanding the science behind
diet and nutrition. Dietitians, (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!
Dietitian's Qualifications
Registered Dietitians 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. Dietitians 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.
Coursework:
Dietitians study a variety of subjects, ranging
from food and nutrition sciences, computer science,
culinary arts, sociology, and communication, and
health and science courses such as biochemistry,
psychology, organic chemistry, physiology,
microbiology, anatomy, and chemistry, and more.
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.

Our chief dietitian, 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 dietitians 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.
