So it's finally hit me. With the SAT coming up and my junior year flying by, I realized that I am getting very close to having to decide which schools I want to apply to. I am very passionate about psychology and for the longest time, I wanted to be a child/adolescent clinical psychologist. More recently, I have discovered that I have a passion for nutrition and fitness as well. I was online and I came across the term "nutritional psychologist". I'm not even sure if that's a real thing. My question is- is there a job where I would be able to promote every kind of health (whether it be mental or physical)? What would that be?

but I don't want to fix those kind of problems. Doctor is too general. I want to be a weight loss trainer but many times, there is an emotional problem behind why the person has gained that much weight. I want to be able to address those issues as well.

What about diatetics? You would learn about how diet affects all sorts of things, and you can work in just about any health-related field. Don't forget that you can always double major if you can't pick, or have a major and a minor.

Dietitian - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
