"Certified nutritionist" may sound authoritative, but it lacks the credentials of a registered dietitian. In many states, the title of "nutritionist" is not regulated, meaning that anyone can call themselves a nutritionist regardless of their education or training. While there are reputable alternative educational programs that offer certifications in nutrition, they do not carry the same level of credibility as the registered dietitian credential.
