A dietitian is a registered health professional who meets specific standards and training requirement as set by the NZ Dietitians Board.  Our dietitians have a current practicing certificate, which they update annually, as well as both an undergraduate science degree in human nutrition along with a master’s degree in dietetics. A nutritionist helps you with your diet and lifestyle. Their approach is more holistic than a dietician. Nutritionists don’t need to be registered, but registered ones must meet specific qualifications and experience to practice as a registered health professional. Our nutritionist has an undergraduate degree in human nutrition and a master’s degree in sports nutrition and holds registration with the Nutrition Society of New Zealand.
