According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, an RDN (Registered Dietitian Nutritionist) is a food and nutrition expert who has met specific, rigorous criteria to earn and maintain their credential. This legally protected title signifies a high level of expertise, differentiating RDNs from other nutrition professionals who may have less extensive education and training.

The average American adult encounters nutrition advice daily, yet fewer than 10% fully understand the qualifications behind the advice they receive. The letters 'RDN' after a professional's name signifies that they are a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, a legally protected and highly respected credential in the healthcare field. This designation ensures the individual has met strict educational and training standards set by the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR), setting them apart from unregulated nutrition consultants.
