A healthcare revolution is underway — and dietitians are leading it.
For too long, dietitians have been underestimated, relegated to the “pink collar” sidelines of healthcare. But as the demand for preventive medicine grows, dietitians are stepping into power-player roles, transforming patient care, and reshaping the future of healthcare.

If you’ve ever wondered whether you should see a Registered Dietitian or a Nutritionist in Rhode Island, you’re not alone. The terms sound similar, but there’s a big difference in education, training, and the type of care they can legally provide. Understanding the difference helps you choose the right expert—especially if you need help with a medical condition, weight management, or metabolic health.
