Uncover the difference between a Nutritionist & Dietitian and decide which one is best for you
Registered dietitians are qualified to assess, diagnose and treat dietary problems or nutritional needs. They also tend to help clients with special dietary requirements or medical conditions. To be a dietitian, you’ve got to be registered with the Health and Care Professionals Council (HCPC). Many dietitians work within the NHS as opposed to privately, although you can still find private dietitians to help advise you on your eating habits. Whereas nutritionists are more likely to be the ones advising on weight loss or sport nutrition. Nutritionists can be registered with the UK Voluntary Register of Nutritionists (UKVRN), but they don't have to be.
To become qualified as a nutritionist, I had to complete a course run by the UKVRN. After completing the course, I became qualified as a registered nutritionist. This means that all my clients can check my qualifications and experience online. Clients can therefore be confident in my abilities, as they know that I'm qualified under a trustworthy organisation.
Weight loss is the most common reason that new clients come to me. They often find it difficult to know how to get the right nutrients into their diets without feeling hungry or unsatisfied. But over the last few years, I’ve had more and more people coming to me with IBS-related issues. I think that's because more people are recognising the symptoms of IBS and are getting diagnosed. They then come to nutritionists or dietitians for guidance on how to alter their eating habits to help relieve their symptoms.

It’s an absolute pleasure to train with Daz, he listens to what you want to achieve and designs programmes to do just that! He pushes boundaries and doesn’t allow you to give up! Best trainer at the gym by far! So much to offer, his army training makes circuits challenging but yet you feel amazing afterwards! His technique when teaching me to use weights helps me build on the strength I have more effectively I love the variation in my programmes, I like how I’m constantly learning new techniques. I enjoy the goals I’m set and achieving them despite how hard they are. Daz is very complimentary and always makes you feel like your smashing your targets. I love how Daz gets involved with my training, it makes it fun and even more enjoyable. His nutritional knowledge is exceptional and I can’t wait to adapt my routine to benefit from more of this. I have been training with Daz for coming up 18 months and I have seen my weaknesses turn to strengths and my strengths get stronger. Best trainer at the gym by far!

I have known Daz for a good few months and have very much appreciated his time and effort and generally his attitude. Daz approached me as I was practicing the bleep test as I was planning on joining the forces, unfortunately I only had a week to thoroughly train, but Daz did incredible and effective work in the time given. I feel Daz's strengths comes from his knowledge and experience, this coming from his previous experience in the British Army, but my personal favorite attribute from Daz is his motivation and ability to push me further then I thought I could achieve. I would happily recommend Daz to anyone looking for fitness help for all the reasons above, but not to forget he is just a great guy to get to know.

I have been a regular gym-goer for quite a number of years but the last couple of years I seemed to be lacking motivation and I felt I was just going through the motions. Daz started at the gym, introduced himself to me and asked if I wanted to try a training session with him. The session proved to me just how much I had let things slide. I enjoyed the session so much that I decided to start training with him. I always enjoy training sessions and look forward to them, and he makes them so varied that the time flies by. He is friendly, engaging, encouraging, always keeps me on my toes (quite literally as legs ache sometimes) and always makes sure I am using the correct technique. My fitness levels and stamina have improved quite dramatically and I look forward to much more improvement over the coming months.
