What if the term ‘Nutritionist’ is protected in my country?

You can still complete MNU even if the term ‘Nutritionist’ is protected in your country.

Although regulations may limit your ability to practise as an MNU Certified Nutritionist specifically, you can still use MNU to expand your knowledge, develop your skills and benefit your business. We've had several students in the past in the same situation who have completed the course for these reasons!

You may also 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 consulting your government website for further information.

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