Frequently Asked Questions

I am no longer accepting insurance. I am considered an out-of-network provider, but that doesn't mean your insurance will not cover the cost. I can provide a superbill to you which you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement; many insurance plans will reimburse up to 80% of your sessions.

 I believe quality nutrition should be accessible to all who need it. Prices reflect the time involved in treatment and were kept as low as possible. If money is a concern we can discuss payment plans as well as discounted rates for special circumstances. Please just ask. I am here to help. 

 To hold the title of Dietitian, specifically registered dietitian (RD) there are many requirements. An RD must have a minimum of a four year college degree from an accredited university’s program that includes specific course work in human physiology, nutrition science and other sciences, must complete a 1200+ hour supervised hands-on internship, and must sit for and pass a national comprehensive examination. RDs must also obtain continuing education every few years and are held to a professional code of ethics. All Dietitians are Nutritionists, but Nutritionists are not Dietitians.

The term nutritionist isn’t regulated so anyone can call himself or herself a nutritionist, with no formal training or certification.  It’s wise to always check credentials on the person using the title nutritionist before accepting them as a nutrition expert.

A “Health Coach” or “CHC” attends the  Institute of Integrated Nutrition’s program, which is an online course, just 1 year long, and certification is granted through the American Association of Drugless Practitioners. If you do a search online you will find many short, online programs for health coaches. One should question the depth of expertise that can be acquired in such a short period of time, and the fact that admission requirements are lax and classes are pass-fail. Health coaches are not legally allowed to provide disease-specific nutrition suggestions or individual diet recommendations. That being said, health coaches can serve a purpose in the field of wellness, great for motivation and accountability and helping people make healthy changes for the better!
