Best Answer

Virginia has a certification regulation. Under this law persons not certified can still practice the occupation or profession of nutrition, but may not use particular titles, such as dietitian, certified dietitian, or licensed dietitian.

HOWEVER, While this state allows non-licensed professionals to provide weight management and nutrition services, it is not recommended - for professional and legal reasons. Nutrition and weight management is beyond the scope of practice for allied health professionals and can result in possible harm to clients. Another serious concern is the possibility of litigation.
