Why Work With a Dietitian in Alberta?

When it comes to your health, nutrition advice should come from the experts. While you may see the terms Calgary nutritionist or nutritionist Calgary online, not all nutritionists in Alberta are regulated. Only Registered Dietitians (RDs) are licensed healthcare professionals regulated under the Health Professions Act of Alberta.

That means when you work with a registered dietitian in Calgary or anywhere in Alberta, you’re working with someone who has completed a university degree in nutrition, a supervised practicum, and passed a national registration exam. Dietitians are evidence-based professionals — trained to provide medical nutrition therapy for conditions like diabetes, heart disease, IBS, PCOS, and more. 

Insurance Coverage for Dietitian Services in Alberta

One of the most common questions we hear: Are dietitian services covered by insurance?

✅ Yes — most extended healthcare plans cover dietitian counseling services.

• You’ll often see “Registered Dietitian” or “Dietitian Services” listed under paramedical coverage.

• At Dietitian Connect, we bill your insurance directly whenever possible.

• If you don’t have insurance, you can still book a dietitian in Alberta and pay out of pocket.

💡 Important: Some plans may list coverage for a Registered Holistic Nutritionist (RHN) or Certified Clinical Nutritionist, but these professionals are not regulated healthcare providers in Canada. Insurance companies may or may not cover their services. A Canada Registered Dietitian (RD) is always recognized as a regulated provider.
