What is an RDN?
A Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) is a food and nutrition expert that can provide guidance, counseling, and simple solutions to creating a healthy lifestyle. In a society where nutrition is trending, Dietitians can help separate fact from fad and can translate nutritional science into everyday practical choices.
