In most countries 'Nutritionist' is not a protected title. However, depending on where you live and work, legislation can vary, which may limit your use of the MNU Certified Nutritionist title.

You may be able to refer to yourself as a ‘Nutrition Coach’ or ‘Nutrition Consultant’ instead, which are often used interchangeably with ‘Nutritionist’.

To find out whether this applies to you, we would recommend having a look at your government’s website for further information.

For example, if you reside in the USA, please read the state regulation of nutrition practice.
