Wyoming is an Exclusive Scope of Practice State. The law requires a license to provide nutrition care, and only dietitians may obtain a license. You may not assess the nutritional needs of individuals or groups, and you may not refer to yourself or imply that you are licensed, certified, or registered in the state of Wyoming. The law restricts the titles of “dietitian” and “nutritionist.” There are exemptions for holistic nutrition professionals in Wyoming that will enable you to practice.

Holistic Nutrition Professionals may provide the following services which are not spelled out in the Exemptions:

§ 33-47-103. Exemptions; persons and practices not affected.
