Feeling lost preparing the CDRE?
You're not alone!
If you're feeling lost, you're not the only one. That’s exactly why this guide exists.
If you’re preparing for the CDRE, you probably know the feeling - notes everywhere, resources scattered, and no single place to bring it all together. You might be asking yourself:
Why we created this study guide
Hi, I’m Ina - a Registered Dietitian who’s recently been in your shoes. When I was studying for the CDRE, I realized it was hard to find resources that brought together study content into one organized place.
Like you, I felt confused, anxious, and honestly, a little lost. My colleague Dora and I teamed up to create for you what we wish we had back then - an extensive, organized, and easy-to-follow study guide based on the Alliance of Dietetic Regulatory Bodies' 2025 CDRE Exam Blueprint.
This guide isn’t just notes. It’s a study system to help you study smarter, feel more confident, and walk into the exam feeling more prepared.
"I passed the CDRE in 2023 - and I know exactly how
overwhelming it felt. So, we created what we wish we had
- for you."
