Frequently Asked Questions

Do you only work with women with PCOS?

I am a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN). I have experience in assessing patients of all ages and medical conditions. My practice specializes in nutrition treatment for women with PCOS. If you are dealing with mood swings, stomach issues, infertility, weird menstrual cycles, low energy, Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, or any other nutrition issue that affects your hormone health you are invited to get more information!

Do you put clients on a diet?

Yes. Meal Plans are diets. They should be individualized based on the client’s medical conditions, preferences, and goals and more importantly prescribed by a dietitian. Clients in our program do not count calories or have to figure out what to eat on their own. Instead, we do all the work so they can enjoy their meals and results.

do you take Insurance?

I accept Blue Cross Blue Shield insurance. For more detailed information please schedule a Clarity Call. This way I can learn more about your situation and how I may be able to help if we are a good fit to work together.

I do accept FSA and HSA debit/credit cards. Payment plans and financing options are available. We accept cash, Visa credit/debit, Mastercard/debit, PayPal credit, and AMEX.

Medical receipts are provided upon request to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

How much does it cost to work with a dietitian?

Clarity Calls are $99. From your initial consultation, it will be determined if we’re a good fit to move forward working together. We operate on a program/course model and insurance does NOT cover the full cost of our programs.

Do you offer single sessions?

Yes, we offer 1:1 session packages as well as meal plan-only packages. The first step in working together is to book a Clarity Call. During the Clarity call, you will receive next-step general recommendations on how to move forward even if we are not a good fit to work together. Insurance is not accepted for Clarity Calls.

What do we discuss on the Clarity Call?

The Clarity Call will help me learn more about your situation and how I may be able to help. We delve into your goals and may provide next-step common nutrition recommendations for you to move forward confidently.

Are appointments offered in the office or virtually?

We only offer sessions virtually. Clients can schedule visits during dinner time and don’t have to fight for parking spaces or sit in traffic as when traveling to an office.

How is my privacy protected during a virtual visit?

All appointments are held using HIPAA-compliant applications. Clients have a private portal that can be accessed from anywhere using a phone, computer, or tablet.

What are the differences between dietitians and nutritionists?

The main difference comes down to education and the scope of practice. A Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) is a designation for a nutrition professional who has received a bachelor’s degree from an accredited university in nutrition and dietetics (and in most cases a Master’s Degree). Dietitians have completed a dietetic internship consisting of over a thousand hours of supervised practice, passed an entrance exam, and obtained a license to practice in their state(s). Continuing education hours are required to maintain our credentials like physicians and nurses. Dietitians provide medical nutrition therapy treating and managing diseases and other conditions. A nutritionist may complete a degree in nutrition but does not have the same amount of extensive post-baccalaureate regulatory education. They are not able to diagnose, treat or provide medical nutrition advice.
