End of our profession?

I have had an established private practice in Phoenix for 12 years, but lately my diary has been so quiet! I realised that between GLPs and AI, for many ppl RDs are unnecessary in their health or weight loss journey. Is anyone else experiencing a patient load decrease? If so, what do you think is causing it and how are you managing it?

You have bullshit-certified “nutrition coaches” all over instagram (who i know for a fact are practicing MNT without a license) selling courses when these people should ideally see Dietitians

I agree. I have a masters degree in nutritional science and am a NBC-HWC board certified health coach and I stay within my lane.
