Finding a Nutrition Expert

Do you find yourself confused by an overload of nutrition information coming at you from seemingly all directions, such as: television, magazines, newspapers, friends, family, doctors, blogs, etc.?

Maybe you just are wondering how to eat healthy and would like some guidance with menu planning, recipes and cooking. Or do you have a chronic health condition and are looking for reliable nutrition information from a trusted nutrition expert?

It can be confusing to decide where to go to find reliable nutrition information. For instance, is there a difference between a nutritionist and a registered dietitian, RD?

An RD is an expert in food and nutrition who: earned a college degree or higher, completed a supervised internship, passed a national exam administered by the American Dietetic Association and participates in continuing education. On the other hand, In Colorado, anyone can use the title of nutritionist, nutrition counselor or nutrition advisor regardless of education and credentials. RDs are required to meet very specific and rigorous educational and professional standards.

You have come to the right place to find the right nutrition information for your situation, with Dru Ledder M.S., R.D., a trusted Registered Dietitian, with years of experience to help guide you in your journey to good health. Simply Nutrition has the passion for helping you understand your unique situation and to create a suitable dietary intervention.

Why use a Registered Dietitian?

Your doctor is often so busy working with multiple patients that they and their staff only have the time to give you handouts to try and help you. It’s not that they don’t care. Unfortunately they only have so much time and to properly educate you and work through issues like menu planning, recipes, etc. take more time than they usually have available.

While friends, family, and other sources of information are well intentioned, they don’t have the educational background to provide what you need.

A Registered Dietician is an expert in food and nutrition who: earned a college degree or higher, completed a supervised internship, passed a national exam administered by the American Dietetics Association and participates in continuing education.

On the other hand, In Colorado, anyone can use the title of nutritionist, nutrition counselor or nutrition advisor regardless of education and credentials. RDs are required to meet very specific and rigorous educational and professional standards. You can learn more by visiting www.eatright.org.
