“All Dietitians are nutritionists, but not all nutritionists are Dietitians…”

Dietitians have a university degree from an accredited university program. This program includes hundreds of hours of hands-on training. Dietitians, like all regulated health professionals, are required to adhere to ethical standards and complete annual professional development. “Registered Dietitian” and “Dietitian” are protected titles, where anyone can use the title “nutritionist”. Click here to visit an article by the Dietetians of Canada to learn more.

Most extended health care plans do provide partial or full extended health coverage for Registered Dietitian services. We can not guarantee reimbursement, please verify your plan details with your insurance provider. If your plan does not cover the services of a Registered Dietitian, save your receipt for a non-refundable tax credit. In the province of British Columbia, Registered Dietitians are classified as an “Authorized Medical Practitioner”.
