Anyway, I can do online HOLISTIC nutrition and sit for national boards to become certified. My question is this: How many of you would consider obtaining nutrition counseling from a holistic nutritionist (holistic studies include vegan, vegetarian, macro and micro nutrients and different body systems). Also, insurances usually don't cover holistic nutritionists, only registered dietitians. Would you consider paying out of pocket to see one? (I paid about $100/hour and saw one every other week for a few months)
Please let me know so I know if there is a need for this here in The Villages.
Thank you!!!!

If you are serious get a real degree from a real program and get a real license. When you get an online degree you cannot expect consumers to take your training and qualifications seriously. Yes it might be inconvenient, but so is getting a competent education for most everyone. That might explain why insurance doesn't pay for the "degree" you are considering
