Focusing on Nutrition to Help You Reach Your Fitness Goals

Jim White Fitness & Nutrition Studio (JWFNS) knows how important the element of nutrition is to helping you reach your ultimate fitness goals. In fact, studies show that nutrition is a whopping 80% of the equation in losing weight. JWFNS have been the leaders in the fitness industry showcasing amazing results over the past five years. Now they want to bring what they do best out in the public with a great new venture…introducing JWFNS.

JWFNS was developed by Jim White — a dietitian, the National Spokesman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, and the leader of men’s nutrition in the country. His nutrition programs are proven and life changing! JWFNS and our team of dietitians and dietetic technicians is one of the only private-practice nutrition centers in Hampton Roads.

Unlicensed Nutritionists vs. Registered Dietitians vs. Dietetic Technicians Registered
Many people do not realize there’s a big difference between a nutritionist and Registered Dietitian. A nutritionist is anyone who practices nutrition education to the public in various settings. That person may or may not have a nutrition degree and often times is just certified by an organization. In retrospect, a Registered Dietitian (RD) has earned a degree in dietetics and has completed an extensive coordinated program in Dietetics. An RD has also passed a board exam to conduct practice. Dietetic Technicians Registered (DTR) have earned a two-year degree and completed a board exam to conduct practice. Often times a DTR works hand-in-hand with the RD. RDs and DTRs are highly qualified leaders in the food industry.

Don’t be Fooled by Nutrition Quackery

Nutrition quackery is when an unlicensed health professional, whether a personal trainer, so-called nutritionist, or someone else, gives extensive nutrition advice that is out of the scope of their practice. For instance, it’s nutrition quackery if a personal trainer develops a diabetic diet for a diabetic patient. It is very common in the industry and is frowned upon. Why? For the simple reason that it can be a danger to the health of a client.

At JWFNS, that’s something we take very seriously. We provide BOTH nutrition education and exercise prescription because we have BOTH personal trainers and Registered Dietitians/Dietetic Technicians on staff.
