Another issue -- I don't eat meat and want to give up eating fish, so I'd need someone who is knowledgeable about and supportive of a vegetarian diet.
The registered dietician would have a R.D. designation behind their name professionally. I would wonder about the term "nutritionist".

Yes, I think there is a growing body on nutritional needs for aging folks. For frail, much older folks (than us), it would be falling into geriatric medicine.

I also worked in a library specializing in geriatric medicine and gerontology (sociology of aging).
