What to Expect When Working with a Dietitian

Did you know anyone can call themselves a Nutritionist?

“Nutritionist” is not a protected title.  However, Registered Dietitians (RDs) are regulated health professionals (like nurses or doctors) with accredited university education and supervised clinical training.   RDs must be members of a provincial regulatory body.  Unlike the term “Nutritionist,” the title “Registered Dietitian (RD)” is protected and regulated to ensure safe, evidence-based care.

At the HPC, our Dietitians provide practical nutrition guidance designed to help you feel better, perform better, and build sustainable habits for long-term success.
