You are not going to be a licensed nutritionist with a nutrition certification such as the NASM specialty credential.

Hi,Susan!
The most trusted and accurate is Certified Fitness Nutrition Specialist by NASM.

It really depends on what scope of practice you're interested in.
NTA: Nutritional Therapy Association, recognized by some universities for coursework towards a MS in Nutrition and affiliated with Biotics Research NW, inc. a prof supplement co. for licensed physicians. Graduates hold a para-professional title of NTP & CNT. School is in Wa & NYC.
CCN: Certified Clinical Nutritionist. This is another prestigous nutrition title held by most naturopathic doctors who further educate themselves in nutrition.
Note: These organizations use Nutrition as Medicine and are associated with Functional Medicine.
MS: Nutrition & Functional Medicine, Clinical Nutrition, Integrative Nutrition
A degree is always higher than a certification, again it depends on the clientele you plan to work with and scope of practice. I'm an NTP and work alongside physicians to resolve gastrointestinal disorders and blood sugar dysregulation.
