Why Choose an Online Dietitian (or Dietician)?

Online nutrition counseling gives you access to high-quality care, wherever you are in Canada. Whether you’re managing a chronic condition, improving your eating habits, or just want a professional to help you make sense of conflicting nutrition advice, a Registered Dietitian can help.

Benefits of online dietitian services:

• Convenient, flexible appointments that fit your schedule

• Access from anywhere in Canada — rural, remote, or urban

• Insurance-eligible care through most extended health plans

• Secure, confidential telehealth platform

• Personalized nutrition support — not one-size-fits-all meal plans

Dietitian vs. Dietician vs. Nutritionist - What’s the Difference?

It’s common to see all three terms - dietitian, dietician, and nutritionist - used online, but they don’t always mean the same thing.

Registered Dietitians (RDs) are:

• Regulated healthcare professionals under provincial law

• University-trained with accredited practicums

• Qualified to provide medical nutrition therapy for conditions like diabetes, heart disease, digestive issues, and more

• Recognized by insurance companies for reimbursement

“Dietician” is simply an alternate spelling - it means the same as dietitian (the regulated professional).

“Nutritionist,” however, is an unregulated title in many provinces - meaning anyone can call themselves one, even without formal training.

➡️ When you book through Dietitian Connect , you’re working with Registered Dietitians only — licensed, credible, and often covered by insurance.
