Hey Laura-
It's an Industry show, so you have to be connected some way to the industry. Tho I did see A LOT of people roaming around that made me wonder how they got in?? So maybe it's not so hard?

As for the nutritionist, I was given a referral through my doctor.
AL has a ton of healthcare options out there I thought? I know Healthsouth is based there. - But they are a rehab hospital I guess.
But don't they have some big med schools? I would think it wouldn't be too hard? hmmm....
