What is the difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist
Nutrition and dietetics are two different areas in the field of nutrition and health, and dietetics is already a section of medicine, i.e. work with pathological conditions.
Nutritionists and dietitians may work in tandem when a person has a medical diagnosis and prescriptions from a doctor and needs help creating a diet and supporting recovery through lifestyle.
Nutritionist Svetlana Zvereva explained the difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist.
The key difference between a dietitian and a nutritionist is that a dietitian is a doctor, i.e. a specialist with a higher medical education, specializing in pathological conditions, i.e. the treatment of diseases.
A nutritionist does not provide treatment, but only support in terms of nutrition and a healthy lifestyle.
This is why the tandem of a doctor and a nutritionist is likely to give faster and more significant treatment results.
A nutritionist will also be helpful in developing nutrition and healthy habits when losing weight, as well as any problems that are not pathological, but already cause discomfort - for example, hair loss, early graying, premature aging, stress, sleep problems, etc.
