Finding a Nutritionist

Insights for Finding a Nutritionist
- Typing "nutritionist" into a search engine won't be very helpful. There’s no system of accreditation that prevents charlatans and quacks from adopting this professional title, so you'll get a much longer list of search results than you want.
- One good way to find a nutritionist or registered dietician near you is to check the Web site of your health care provider. Most providers have online databases of doctors in their networks, sortable by name, location or specialty.
