What's the difference between seeing a dietitian and a nutritionist? Dietitians (RD/RDN) have regulated credentials, standardized education, and can provide medical nutrition therapy. “Nutritionist” is not a regulated term - meaning almost anyone can use it. All dietitians have completed a degree, supervised practice, and the RD exam in order to provide you with the best care possible.
Do you offer virtual consultations? Yes, I provide virtual options for both nutrition and fitness.
What is it like to work with a dietitian? During a session, we may explore your beliefs behind food, eating habits, and other aspects of your relationship with health (like exercise or body image). We'll help create and adjust your nutrition road map to meet your goals, and always aim to help you feel empowered in your care.
Do you accept insurance? Yes, we accept Anthem Blue Cross & Blue Shield and United Health Care.
