About

Some states have no laws to say who can call themselves a nutritionist or a personal trainer. With food as medicine becoming mainstream, anyone and everyone seems to be jumping on the bandwagon touting the latest miracle diet or exercise plan, even though many hold absolutely no credentials and no formal education at all.

Unfortunately for the public, this has become confusing and costly for consumers, and sometimes harmful.
