As a teen going into my freshmen year, this sounds a bit overwhelming but i already know more about nutrition than the average adult and i’ve been interested in it for over a year now. It is a strong passion of mine and this video was incredibly helpful for me to know what i am getting myself into. I will keep doing private study of nutrition on my own free time and one day I hope to become successful like you

I’m in my 30s and I’ve been thinking about changing career paths…thank you so much for this information!! As with anything new, I feel a little overwhelmed but your breakdown makes it seem more manageable :)

Unfortunately its a career path that does not pay a good salary. You have to be very creative and work have an entrepreneurial spirit if you want to truly make more $ as a dietitian

Being an RD for 25 years was very rewarding and I DID make very good income. I worked at the state and Federal levels which gave me numerous travel experiences, flexibility, challenges, creative opportunities and generous compensation!

This was SO helpful. I’ve been searching for what steps to take and how to find the right school and wondered what the difference was between licensed and registered and dietician and nutritionist. Thanks so much!

Omg this is so helpful thank u I'm going to college as a freshmen and becoming a nutritionist and dietition is my dream u gained a new subscriber thank uuuuu❤

WELDONE congratulations to you being certified dietitian and Nutritionist

This was exactly what I’ve been searching for. Thank you for sharing your experience!

I'm a life coach and would like to look into nutrition as a niche. Also, I think careers in nutrition and dietetics are going to soar over the next 10 years. Don't believe me? Four states have now started pulling foods with certain chemicals in them off of the shelves. We now have "healthy" junk food. People will always be interested in what they are eating and how to eat well for optimum health.

This is the most helpful video I've seen. Thank you for being so honest!

Soo well explained!!

I want to be a nutritionist but god school is not my thing. I learn better hands on

This is exactly what I needed to know and your doing the career I want to achieve. Thank you for your detailed information!!!

Thank you for the information Lu Akin. 🙂 I am interested in nutrition due to obtaining Multiple Sclerosis.

Thank you for providing this information! So so useful! ❤

New sub. Great video. Having looked into this, I think it’s important to understand the significant difference between motivation for nutrition and an interest in the science of dietetics. Do you want to work with people tackling disease who need highly specialised diet hence the intense science aspect of being a dietician. And/or do you truly understand the roel and responsibility of a dietician? It needs specific learning in science in a way nutrition doesn’t. Course syllabuses make these differences and details clear. If interest is more generalised then dietetics probably isn’t for you. Know what you want to do with the qualification and more importantly why you are doing it. There is a difference and a dietician and nutritionist can serve very different purposes. Sometimes it’s helpful to go to different professionals for the two specialisms re perspective and insights.

I want to follow this path in my life, and I am aware and prepaid to go to school. My question is, during the 4 years I will be in school how much math plays a part in a dietitian / nutritionist work and learning ? Obviously science will be involved, which I am not bad at. . however I have always struggled with math and I want to know if going into this field is the right choice for me.

Thank you so much for this because I want to become a registered dietitian.

Simply put💯 Thank you!❤

Wow awesome video. Love that you combined counseling with RD. I'm doing something similar.

thank you so much for all this information! this was very helpful.

Hi, I'm not sure if you'll get to my comment. lol but I really appreciated your video, it was so easy to understand and very informative to become a registered dietician. I'm going through a lot of changes, I'm 28 and graduated with a bachelors in criminology back in 2019. Throughout those years I noticed that I really do have a passion for mental health and becoming a registered dietician. I was wondering how can I do both like you are doing? Do I go straight to masters in dietetics with a focus in mental health? or something like that? Thank you for your video! you're awesome

Thank you for the information you generously provided!

This is so helpful and thanks

Underated

Ok let’s go

Thank you for your video because it was so helpful.

Thanks so much for this it was extremely helpful. I currently have a BA in Political Science but have a serious passion for nutrition and I'm currently looking into schools that provide a lot of what you mentioned, but what I'm dreading is, taking A&P II and I just saw it as a requirement for a certain University. Is there any program that doesn’t require A&PII or is it a must to become a RDN?

Great information!!!

I currently have my bachelors degree in business management but I’d like to have a career in this field. How would this work if 4 years is needed for this field?

This really helpful! Thank you so much! ❤️❤️

Hi there, I have a technical degree in culinary arts and a bachelor degree in business administration. I've been considering to go for a neonatal dietitian as I have been working with babies during these last 5 years but I'm lost in the way I should take. Do you have any knowledge if those degrees are recognized in the dietitian path?

This made my day

a helpful video. I am currently in undergrad studying nutrition deciding between RD and Phd in Public Health or both.

Thank you so much for this video.

What school or classes did you go to/take to complete this? You're literally doing what I'm considering psych/dietician

Why haven’t I seen this earlier?! I spent days on internet looking for what you put in a 5 minute video… thank you so much!!! 🥲

I already have a bachelors in a completely different field but I am I love with nutrition now. Would I just skip dpd program and go straight into masters coordinated program?

For a person that earned a bachelor’s degree not related to dietetics are there any recommended master’s programs or first steps towards becoming a register dietician

It's state by state regulations. Maine isn't like that.

Thanks for sharing!!!!!!

Thank you very much so we'll explained ☺️

Thank you so much for this informative video. I have just relocated to the US from the UK and am looking to register as a nutritionist dietitian. My education is in Physical Therapy (undergrad) and Human Nutrition (Masters degree). In the UK I worked as a nutritionist and was registered with the Association for Nutrition. I am going through the process of getting my degrees evaluated for relevancy in the US. I believe I will likely have to do some additional study and/or supervised practice to register as a RDN. My question is, in the meantime do you know if it is possible to practice as a nutritionist? I am in California. Many thanks in advance!

Thank you sister 💝

Do you recommend changing career to RD? I want to change my career to RD.

"Hi, my wife has completed her PhD in Food and Nutrition in India. She wishes to go abroad, specifically to countries like Singapore, Australia, or Canada. How can she register as a nutritionist and a registered dietitian in these countries? She has extensive experience in both areas, working as a dietitian for almost 6 years and as a professor for 15 years. Could you please guide us on the procedure to become a registered dietitian in the respective countries? I appreciate your assistance in this matter.

What would be your best advice for someone who had an undergrad degree in health science and want to become a dietician? Thank you!

I just completed Senior High school n I want to follow dis step to be a nutritionist buh I studied Home Economics at school .So what should I do for now

I have a bsc in food science and nutrition in order to become a dietician in U.S what should I choose in masters can you Please answer ?

I feel like anyone who has a bachelors degree in nutrition can call themselves a nutritionist because they have that education but only one who’s gone through the masters/dietetics certification can call themselves a registered dietician

It sound like a lot. How long did it take you to become a registred dietician and what was the total cost?

Hello ma’am I had my undergraduate in food and nutrition education but I realized my interest is not in the field of teaching I always wanted to become a dietitian. My question is can I have my msc program in nutrition and dietetic so I can become a dietitian? Thank you

good vid

So how about if you do not have a bachelors in Nutrition or any related course say, you are a lawyer but want to become a nutritionist? Can you straight ahead take a masters in dietectics?

Wait what’s the difference between CDR and the actual license?

Also is this the same steps for Texas ? I followed u Ona gram also

Thank you 👏🏼

Hi Lu. this video was very helpful. I currently have a Bachelors degree in Business Administration. Can I get my Masters in DPD or will I need to get another Bachelors since my first was in a totally different field?

I have done my Bachelor in ECE and now wish to pursue Masters in Clinical Nutrition. Is this a good choice ?

We can do the internship while working on the degree at the same time?

👋🙏

Can I become a nutritional consultant with a BSc in Biochemistry and a masters in Nutrition and Dietetics?

I study consumer and home economic science in school can I still become children nutritionist

I have a question. I am a registered nurse and have been practicing for 6 years. Is there a way I can become a nutritionist or registered dietician through a masters program? Because my bachelors degree is specified.

Don't really know if you will reply now or not. But can anybody guide me? I'm going to move towards US. I've done my bachelor's in nutrition from Pakistan which is basically a 5 year program. How will I be able to be a dietitian in US?

Thanks for the useful tips,I am a registered Dietitian here in Nigeria, what possible option can I opt for my masters programs to be able to be registered in Canada?

Thanks for the video. what type of job can you get with just a bachelor of science in nutrition with no exams or license

My school doesn’t offer the DPD program, is there a way to do it not in university?

I’m curious. Does a nutritionist/dietician promote a vegan/plant based diet, or least encourage folks to minimize meat/eggs (cuz saturated fat/cholesterol), eliminate dairy (cuz “humans aren’t supposed to have milk from animals”) & think the food pyramid is an excellent reference for optimal health? Or do they teach bioindividuality, saying no to food cults & the food pyramid is bullshit?

I have a Bachelors degree in Health Sciences...can I apply again for bachelor in nutrition?

Thank you beautiful Queen

Question- is ACEND accredited and DPD accredited the same?

Wait does a nutritionist need to do the program or just dietician’s? (since dietician’s have to do more than nutritionist)

Hi, so you say that you can get a bachelor degree in any field before you decide to apply for dietitian

I'm doing my masters in India and i want to work in uk. Will i be able to get an internship there in uk and become an RD there in UK? If so can you just give me an outline of hospitals that accept international students as interns?

Is there anything I can do if I already applied to a school that is not a DPD program?

I have a bachelor's degree in Nutrition & someone said they wanted to hire me as a nutritionist, but I needed to get my nutritionist certification. Does that mean they're technically looking for a RD b/c I assumed that if you have a bachelor's degree in Nutrition, technically you'd be considered a "nutritionist" just not a RD

Thank you it's really helpful video , can you please elaborate if someone is done with degree in Human Nutrition and dietetics from Pakistan and completed the internship over there. What will the procedure for them ? In order to practice in UK ?

does indian msc in nutrition nd dietetics work in abroad can anyone tell what could be the procedure?

Passing commission on dietetic registration exam does it qualifies me to be a dietetian

Am from Sierra Leone my plain is to enroll in university next year as a nutritionist in degree is it going to be easier for me to have a job after my course

How… like how did you pass all of your Chem courses?

If we do not want to work in the hospital: but rather in the prevention zone: what are the work opportunities we can look to get Lu ?

And if I study this in Mexico how can certificate in Canada

As a chef for 18 years you think changing career to Nutritionist or Dietician hard?

What if I have a business undergrad but obtain a masters in nutritionist ?

i am from india pursuing nutrition at undergrad level . It is possible for me to do master in nutrition from uk and get a job there?

If I am majoring in Biology how would i go about the pathway to becoming a dietician. Would i need to do something related to that in the graduate level?

How can I find the academy of nutrition and dietetics website?
