47 states plus Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C. have statutes regarding dietetics, dietitions and nutritionists. We use the Commission on Dietetic Registration's credential verification system. (To list in our directory, a dietician must share his or her photo ID, CDR issued registration identification number, and the primary state of residence.) We look for any record of disciplinary action by emailing the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. To be listed the dietician must have one of the following:
- Registered Dietician (RD), meaning the dietician's credentials can be verified by the Commission on Dietetic Registration.
- Registered Dietician Nutritionist (RDN), meaning the dietician's credentials can be verified by the Commission on Dietetic Registration.
- Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS), which means they are board certified by the American Nutrition Association (ANA). Learn more here: https://masterpieceskinrestoration.com/find-best-doctor/
