Our entire team consists of Registered Dietitians (RD) and Certified Nutrition Specialists (CNS) with degrees from accredited universities. Many hold additional certifications in sports nutrition, diabetes education, and functional medicine. All practitioners maintain continuing education credits and are licensed to practice in multiple states across the USA.
Initial consultations typically run 60-90 minutes as we conduct a comprehensive health assessment, review your medical history, discuss your goals, and begin developing your personalized plan. Follow-up sessions are usually 30-45 minutes. We also offer shorter 15-minute check-ins for quick questions and progress updates.
Absolutely! We serve clients nationwide through secure video conferencing platforms. Virtual consultations are just as effective as in-person visits, with the added convenience of attending from anywhere. We use HIPAA-compliant software to protect your privacy, and can share documents, meal plans, and resources digitally during your session.
Your first visit includes a detailed discussion of your health history, current eating patterns, lifestyle factors, medications, and supplements. We'll perform basic measurements, review any recent lab work, and establish clear, realistic goals. By the end of the session, you'll have initial recommendations and a roadmap for your nutrition journey.
Coverage varies depending on your insurance provider and plan. Many insurance companies now cover Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) for conditions like diabetes, obesity, and cardiovascular disease. We provide super bills and documentation to help you seek reimbursement. We also accept HSA/FSA payments and offer flexible payment plans.
Results vary based on individual circumstances and goals. Most clients report increased energy and improved digestion within the first 1-2 weeks. Weight-related changes typically become noticeable after 3-4 weeks of consistent adherence to your plan. For chronic condition management, significant improvements often occur within 2-3 months. We track progress objectively to celebrate milestones along the way.

Creating safe, nutritious plans for individuals with allergies (gluten, dairy, nuts, shellfish, etc.) and dietary restrictions (vegetarian, vegan, kosher, halal, low-FODMAP) is one of our core competencies. We ensure you receive adequate nutrients while avoiding trigger foods, and can suggest delicious alternatives you may not have considered.
We distinguish ourselves through our holistic, science-based approach combined with genuine personal attention. Unlike generic programs, we don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions.
