Why Work With a Dietitian in British Columbia?
When it comes to your health, nutrition advice should come from the experts. While you may see the terms Vancouver nutritionist or nutritionist BC online, not all nutritionists in British Columbia are regulated.
Only Registered Dietitians (RDs) are licensed healthcare professionals regulated by the College of Dietitians of British Columbia under the Health Professions Act.
That means when you work with a registered dietitian in Vancouver or anywhere in BC, you’re working with someone who has:
-
Completed a university degree in nutrition
-
Finished a supervised practicum
-
Passed a national registration exam
Dietitians are evidence-based healthcare providers - trained to provide medical nutrition therapy for conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, IBS, PCOS, cancer, and more.
