Nutritionist

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A nutritionist is someone who helps others focus on eating healthy food and have a healthy nutrition in their diets. They also talk about the impacts of what they eat and their health. There are different types of nutritionist that focus on sports nutrition, public health, or animal nutrition, among other disciplines. Sometimes a person can claim to be a nutritionist even without any training, education, or professional license.

They are different from being a dietitian, who has a university degree, professional license, and certification for professional practice.[1]
