Naturopath vs Dietitian – What’s the difference?

Over the last few decades, we have all become much more open to educating ourselves on our health. From natural remedies to the art of mindfulness, there has been a movement away from the need for synthetic medications, and the adoption of a more holistic approach to our health.

With more options available today for healthcare than ever before, and sometimes a blur between the lines in what each of them do, I’m here to demystify and dive into the main differences between two commonly confused professions - naturopaths and dietitians.
