What is Dietetics?

Dietetics is the science of how food, diet, and nutrition can affect an individual’s health. The goal of Dietetics is to educate individuals on making proper dietary choices to promote overall health and well-being. Dietitians can work in a local community setting focusing on individual health concerns, or in a wider setting focusing on public health policy, food label guidelines, etc.

Who can benefit from Dietetics?

Anyone with questions, concerns, or issues related to their dietary health can benefit from speaking with a Registered Dietitian. This can include special dietary needs (intolerance’s, allergies, diabetes, metabolic conditions), digestive conditions (IBS, crohn’s, celiac disease), infant and child nutrition, sports nutrition, healthy weight loss/gain, and more.
