Finding a Clinical Nutritionist

If you feel you may have a need for further laboratory testing or guidance of a clinical nutritionist, you may be faced with a problem in sorting through all the different types of persons out there who claim to be "nutritionists". If you look in the Yellow Pages, under "nutritionists" you should look for a Certified Clinical Nutritionist (CCN). Under "chiropractors" you should look for a Diplomate of the American Clinical Board of Nutrition (DACBN) or Diplomate of the American Board of Chiropractic Internists (DABCI). Under "Naturopaths" you should consult with one who is a graduate of the Bastyr University listed below.
