Welcome

Welcome to Dietitians in Integrative and Functional Medicine (DIFM), a dietetic practice group of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. We are a group of nutrition professionals with special interests in integrative, functional and holistic medicine, nutritional genomics, whole foods, dietary supplements and natural healing modalities.

*********************************************************
RDNs....All registered dietitians are nutritionists but not all nutritionists are registered dietitians.

It’s an important distinction that can matter a great deal to your health. To mark Registered Dietitian Day 2013 and to strengthen the link between the science of dietetics and the overall wellness aspects of nutrition, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics and the Commission on Dietetic Registration have approved the optional use of the credential “registered dietitian nutritionist”

DIFM Webinar June 3, 2013, Noon-1PM EST

Can the Ancient Wisdom of Ayurveda complement modern dietetics?

presented by Sudha Raj, PhD RD, Director of Graduate Program, Syracuse University

Ayurveda, the ancient healthcare system for optimal health and longevity, originated over 5000 years ago. It is a comprehensive, holistic medical paradigm that emphasizes prevention and health promotion by addressing mind, body, and lifestyle. In this session, we will explore ways to incorporate Ayurvedic principles in the nutrition care process to optimize digestion, restore balance and maintain optimal health.
