Important: what this is and is not

These are private certifications. They are not a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) credential, they are not state licensure, and they do not authorize medical nutrition therapy. Anyone considering a program should understand the difference and check what their state requires for the work they intend to do.

We are direct about this because the alternative — letting someone assume otherwise — would be unfair to them and to their future clients.
