What is a Registered Dietitian and Medicial Nutrition Therapy? Analogy please!

June 5, 2008

The problem I see is with this definition is that the average person would not

understand. This is a clinical definition and might I say most MDs would not

even understand the great abilities of the RD or the RD's services from this

message and much less a lay person. Psychiatrists have always used analogy and

found this is the best way to help people understand.

Hi Everyone, I get this question all the time. Since most people only want a

sound bite answer or something that takes about a minute to explain....I

usually tell them that we are more like doctors than any other healthcare

professional and we review their health/medical/ nutritional history, look

at current blood work, medications, symptoms that may be affecting their

nutritional status and prescribe a meal/nutrition/ supplement plan that is

best for them, factoring in all their needs, wants and budget. Just wanted

some other great ideas from this great group.

Thanks In Advance, Weaver MS RD LD Medical Nutrition Specialist
