Frequently Asked Questions

Are you registered dietitians or just nutritionists?

We're registered dietitian nutritionists with formal training and credentials. We must meet education and exam requirements that other nutritionists don't.

Will insurance cover my appointments?

Many plans do cover dietitian services with a doctor's referral. We'll verify your coverage and help with any paperwork needed.

Do I need a doctor's referral?

It depends on your insurance plan and whether you're doing medical nutrition therapy. We can help determine what you need and work with your doctor if required.

What's the difference between nutrition and diet?

Nutrition is the science of how food affects your body. Diet is just what you eat. We focus on teaching you nutrition so you make better food choices.

Will you put me on a restrictive diet?

No, we don't believe in restrictive diets. We help you learn to enjoy healthy foods while fitting your favorite foods into a balanced approach.

How quickly will I lose weight?

Steady, sustainable weight loss is typically 1-2 pounds per week. This approach helps you keep the weight off long-term.

Can you work with my food allergies or restrictions?

Absolutely, we specialize in creating nutritious plans that work within any dietary restrictions or medical needs you have.

What if I've tried many diets and failed?

That's actually common and doesn't mean anything is wrong with you. Our approach focuses on habits and sustainability rather than diets.
