What are the responsibilities and job description for the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist/Certified Nutrition Specialist position at Functional Skin Studio?
Functional Skin Studio is a skin-focused practice specializing in acne, rosacea, and inflammatory skin conditions using a root-cause, integrative approach. It was created from a deep belief that symptoms deserve answers, not band-aids. I'm building something that I wish already existed regularly in healthcare and wellness, and this is my heart work. I’m looking for someone who truly understands the gut–skin connection and wants consistent, aligned clients without necessarily needing to market themselves.
