A Registered Dietitian (RD) is a highly trained and qualified nutrition professional dedicated to promoting health and well-being through personalized and evidence-based dietary guidance. RDs undergo extensive education and practical training, holding at least a bachelor's degree in nutrition, dietetics, or a related field. They also complete a supervised internship and pass a national examination to earn their credentials.
