FAQs

The academic background, clinical expertise, and practical experience qualify registered dietitians to practice nutrition science. To be a registered dietitian, one must meet the following criteria:
  • Have a minimum of a Bachelor’s degree (typically in health or nutritional science) with course work approved by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly the American Dietetic Association) Commission on Accreditation for Dietetics Education
  • Complete a 1200-hour internship which may include clinical, food service, community, and management rotations, and pass a national registration exam
  • Complete continuing education requirements every five years to maintain registration.
 
Simply put, anyone can call themselves a nutritionist; it's not a regulated credential. However, one must meet the criteria listed above to be a registered dietitian. The bottom line is if you are looking for a reliable source of nutrition information, make sure you consult with a registered dietitian.
Functional nutrition is an evidence-based approach to nutrition care that looks at each individual comprehensively to improve health and overall well-being. This type of nutrition therapy focuses on identifying the root causes of diseases rather than a prescription of nutrition protocols based on a diagnosis.

The Nutrition Clinic was exactly what I was looking for to help me address some complicated health issues. I was dealing with parasites, SIBO, and incredibly underweight. 

I had no idea where to start to address all the health issues and weight loss. I also tend to be a workaholic and let my personal health go; so I knew I would need accountability to stick with any treatment plan.

Rachel was fantastic! Her approach was holistic and thorough. She put together a plan that was doable and broke things down into manageable steps. She was very supportive throughout the entire process.

I was so impressed with the results and am beyond thankful to be feeling better! This was the best investment I made in 2021 (and bonus points, now my partner who was at first skeptical wants to work with a nutritionist too!)

What our clients are saying…

HIGHLY recommend The Nutrition Clinic for Digestive Health. I have struggled with severe IBS/acid reflux symptoms for 6 years with little to no relief (even with working with other professionals). Since partnering with Rachel, the quality of my life has changed SO much; I have not felt this good in years!

I have gone from having to take 10+ daily GI prescriptions, frequent hospital visits, and having so much anxiety around food – to being empowered and knowledgable about what fuels my body best, having to take 0 GI medications, and FINALLY being able to live my life normally again after searching for answers to what was causing me pain for what felt like an eternity.

Rachel took the time and really listened to every symptom and concern I had and addressed every single one. I couldn’t be more thankful I chose to partner with Rachel and The Nutrition Clinic for Digestive Health!!!

I had been living with gastro-intestinal issues for years and assumed it was issues with wheat and dairy and gradually tried to work them out of my diet with mixed results. But this past year I experienced two bouts of more acute issues and my doctor referred me to Jenny Askew’s practice – The Nutrition Clinic for Digestive Health. He spoke highly of Jenny’s two assistants so when I called for my first consultation I was assigned to Rachel.

Rachel and I have just completed my six-week LEAP program and I have been so happy with my experience to date!

I’m a very motivated patient who is willing to tweak my diet as needed so I’ve soaked up everything Rachel has offered me! She is pleasant, encouraging and so knowledgeable! We meet via Zoom and move right along through my session. No time is wasted because Rachel has all the information she needs at her fingertips, on her computer. She quickly found recipes for me, checked out the menu of a particular restaurant I was soon to visit, found non-mint toothpaste suggestions, checked ingredients on several products, and much more – all while we worked through the program together.

I also really appreciate the resources Rachel made available to me for ordering recommended supplements and products.

I have been so happy with the results! This LEAP system has made a huge difference for me. My symptoms have almost completely disappeared. Thank you Rachel!
