PRONUTRITIONIST

About

I am Reijo Laatikainen, a registered dietitian, and these pages are moderated by me. You can find my Bio at LinkedIn. You can easily reach me by sending a message through the contact form available in the blog. The purpose and objectives of the service are found under the section “Manifesto”. Manifesto also describes the contents of different categories within the service.

Diet matters. That is my slogan. Healthy diet is essential for maintaining health and treating various diseases. We as dietitians can do more than we currently do in order to raise awareness, understanding and priority of nutrition among other health care professionals and patients. By learning from others and actively following literature we can leverage our knowledge and make a bigger impact.

Pronutritionist: Reijo Laatikainen

The service is maintained in two languages, English and Finnish. As English is not my native language, typos are inevitable and I hope they don’t turn out to be a significant distraction.  I have earlier published articles in my Finnish blog (www.ravitsemusterapeutti.net), but have decided to put it on hold and develop only the Pronutritionist service.
