How to Find a Nutrition Counselor for Your Patients

To the Editor:

I’m writing in response to the November 16, 2022, article on Medscape, “Hunger, Nutrition and Health: Stepping Up to the Plate.” As the 2022-2023 President of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the world’s largest group of vitamin and dietetics practitioners, and as a participant within the White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health, I assist the article’s suggestion for collaboration between physicians and registered dietitian nutritionists to offer the best profit to their sufferers. It is necessary for physicians to realize a larger understanding of the impression of vitamin in wellness and in remedy of illness, and as a part of the healthcare group, the registered dietitian nutritionist has the data, expertise, and abilities to offer sufferers with this important vitamin counseling. 

The premier useful resource for finding a registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) in your space — for well being practitioners, companies, and customers alike — is the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics’ Find a Nutrition Expert on-line search platform. Searches might be performed for RDNs who symbolize non-public practices, group practices, or healthcare organizations and supply in-person or telehealth consultations. On behalf of the Academy and all our members, I encourage you to share this priceless useful resource together with your readers. We stay up for persevering with to develop collaborations between RDNs and physicians to enhance the vitamin and well being of all folks.
