Registered Dietitian Day - March 14th 2012



"The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics proudly announces the fifth annual Registered Dietitian Day. As the nation's food and nutrition experts, registered dietitians are committed to improving the health of their patients and community. Registered Dietitian Day commemorates the dedication of RDs as advocates for advancing the nutritional status of Americans and people around the world."

March is National Nutrition Month & today is Registered Dietitian Day.  A day for highlighting  the role of dietitians and what they can offer you with regard to your nutrition & health. It's about letting people know who to turn to for credible nutrition advice in the midst of overwhelming nutrition information.

I was incredibly proud when I graduated in Scotland with a BS in Human Nutrition & Dietetics in 1994 & following a hospital internship qualified as a Registered Dietitian in 1995.  I was thrilled again, when 16 years later, I passed the US Dietetic Registration exam!

Throughout this time I have had the pleasure of working with many amazing, dedicated dietitians all with one goal...to help people improve their health via good nutrition. Whether it's altering diet because of a medical condition or improving nutritional intake for pregnancy or weight loss, the power of good nutrition never fails to amaze me!

What do we hope for on RD Day?  

Not an award or a pat on the back - we'd like you to contact us - via our blogs, Facebook pages, LinkedIn, Twitter, telephone, online or in person & let us help you achieve your full health potential.
