I have always been interested in teaching people nutrition. Thank you for breaking the differences down. I trying to figure out which avenue to take and I think RDN is the one for me.

Thanks for this break down. It was very helpful! I’m a culinary student now, but I really want to work with people and help them make more nutritional food choices, help them make meal plans, help with some cooking techniques etc. So I’ve been bouncing around getting more training or schooling in nutrition to be able to do that well. If I’m more interested in the health coach option, are there any nutrition focused programs you might recommend?

[@YourInspiredLife]

You are so welcome. It's nice to have an idea of what your options are depending which direction you take. For health coaching I did Wellcoaches and highly recommend that program. They have standard and advanced programs as well. It's not nutrition focused per se, but it's focused on health habits overall, which help the most with behavior change and helping clients succeed.

I’m looking at a career change. Nutrition and health has been my career for the last 20 years, but I’ve never been certified or educated in nutrition. Is it a four-year degree on top of a bachelors degree?

[@timothychan5375]

I’m an RN and have been looking into becoming a health coach. I didn’t know using my BSN RN was possible. Would I need to also get a certification as a nutrition health coach as well?

Am so glad I found your channel, is it difficult to become a military dietitian?am currently studying nutrition and dietetics and am weighing my options, I'd appreciate if you reply,thanks.

[@YourInspiredLife]

Wow that is fantastic. I'm not sure how difficult it is to get into the military, I've never done that. I do know some former coworkers who did that.

[@glorianneparis3531]

Hi I appreciate your video I’m currently trying to become a holistic nutrition coach if have you any information on that I would love to hear it

[@YourInspiredLife]

That's wonderful! I did not do that certification, so I'm not any help there. You would be limited in that you would not be able to take insurance, just an FYI. But it's likely a quicker route to being finished. Dietitian route is now requiring a master's degree. HOpe that helps!
