Let's have the conversation about the name- NDTR. Not many people know what a NDTR is but the term nutritionist is widespread.   What if we shift our approach. Instead of trying to educate people on what a NDTR is, can we call ourselves nutritionist... then once they see progress with working with a NDTR, they will understand the value of how a NDTR education sets us NDTR's apart.   Think about it!

Can you do everything you want to do as an NDTR?  

This is a question most NDTR's have to ask when deciding to stay a NDTR or continuing on to becoming a RDN.  

The answer for Natalie Rose was simple... it was yes.  She could work in food service, she could start and run a successful consultation business for two years, she could relocate to an area with trees and mountains, she could work in a clinical setting, she could start a podcast, and open a full time private practice.   

If you are wondering if the NDTR credential is enough for you give the spotlight a listen and hear how it has been more than enough for Natalie Rose!

2023 will be the first year where NDTR's will have their own day in National Nutrition Month to celebrate.  When the news was released it was greeted with joy and a little skepticism. So we reached out to the Academy to ask some questions. 

Was this going to be the only recognition NDTR's get? Or was this the first of many steps to begin giving proper recognition to NDTR's?  

 Lori Wright Academy Spokes person sat down with me and addressed these questions.

An internship is what lead Ericha to find a hidden path in the NDTR world.  Her senior year of undergraduate school she had the opportunity to intern at Campbell Soup. Her role involved helping the company implement the new food label changes that were put out by the FDA in 2016. As a result she found that she loved to work in the food industry.   Today Ericha has worked on hundreds of products making sure the health claims and nutrition facts on each product are true and can trusted by consumers.   Outside of her full time job Ericha holds the position, NDTR Chair for the Pennsylvania Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics and has used her voice in mighty ways to represent and speak for NDTR's   If you are feeling stuck and limited, only thinking you can work in: community, clinical or foodservice, Ericha has highlighted another job category; the food industry. Another space where NDTR's can do impactful, purposeful work.
