The Savage Nutritionist is a website designed by a Registered Dietitian in order to advance the field of dietetics by providing credible nutrition information as well as supporting aspiring Registered Dietitians. The field of nutrition and dietetics is on the verge of a boom in reaching their potential as a profession! 

Registered Dietitians are the only credentialed nutritionists. They have achieved accredited education in nutrition science, food science, management, and community nutrition and have passed a difficult test which grants them the credential of Registered Dietitian Nutritionist.
