  Nutritionist
Nutritionists evaluate the diets of patients and clients suffering from medical disorders and suggest ways of fighting various health problems by modifying the patient’s intake of certain food items.
As one nutritionist puts it, “It’s basically all about balance—the older you get, the more you begin to understand the importance of balance in your life, and your diet is no exception.”Hypertension, diabetes, and obesity are some of the common health problems that nutritionists work to alleviate.
But nutritionists must be prepared to work in environments that are not always equipped with modern conveniences or sometimes fall short of prescribed standards.

 Ask the Nutritionist
Like a dietitian, a licensed nutritionist (LD/N) may or may not be an RD, yet must also complete an internship and take an exam to receive their credentials as well as remain current in their knowledge as an RD would.
This is done in an effort to protect the citizen from receiving potentially harmful, erroneous information regarding nutrition from someone who calls themselves a ‘nutritionist’ yet has no formal training or experience and is not licensed to practice.
Licensed and registered dietitians are often referred to as “nutritionists” so, to be sure, look for the credentials “RD” and “LD/N” behind the individual’s name or simply ask them about their credentials.

 Nutritionist Summary
Nutritionists should not be confused with dietitians (although the latter may sometimes describe themselves as nutritionists).
Dietitians are health care professionals who have received specialised formal accredited tertiary education and training, and undertake internship in hospitals, and who are required to adhere to their regulatory body's code of conduct.
Although Nutritionists in the UK do have a trade organisation, the Nutrition Society, the term "nutritionist" is not a protected term and, as a result, can be used by anyone who wishes to do so, including 15 year old boys with negative attitudes.
