What is the difference between a dietician and a nutritional consultant?
Clients have told me that dietician’s tend to be pretty conservative and ‘mainstream’ in their approaches to food counselling. As a nutritional consultant I focus on giving advice to enhance wellness through foods consumed. Foods lay the foundation of wellness, and supplements ‘fill in the gaps’. Nutritional consultants tend to shun some ‘mainstream’ beliefs like ‘milk is good for you’ and we usually recommend specific alternatives depending on the needs of the client.
