Plans for the use of whole food therapies, functional foods, and dietary supplements are based upon the needs of the individual.  Fusion's whole-person approach may also include recommendations for mind-body modalities in one's personalized wellness program.

Why is it important to seek the advice of an Integrative & Functional Registered Dietitan Nutritionist

For many, it’s hard to navigate through the variety of titles people use to set up shop as a “nutritionist”. There are individuals who call themselves “nutritionists” or "nutrition coaches" and offer nutrition services without adequate education, formal training, and licensing as a nutrition professional.  Many states have licensure laws regarding nutritionists. While health coaches/nutrition coaches/nutrition counselors may suggest healthy food choices and healthier lifestyles, they cannot formulate a nutrition diagnosis, prescribe therapeutic diets or provide medical nutrition therapy.  The Integrative & Functional Registered Dietitian Nutritionist has a college degree and years of advanced practice training in integrative and functional medicine plus has passed a national examination to obtain the RDN credential. The RDN is required to obtain 75 hours of continuing education every 5 years to maintain RDN status. In Pennsylvania, the Licensed Dietitian Nutritionist (LDN) is required to obtain 48 continuing education hours every 2 years to maintain state licensure.  Please be sure to check the qualifications of any nutritionist/coach and look for advanced nutrition degrees and proper credentials.
