Frequently Asked Questions
Dietitian or Nutritionist? What's the difference?
A dietitian is a licensed professional who has completed thorough education and testing to provide medical nutrition therapy and nutrition counseling. A nutritionist can be defined more loosely as someone who has an undergraduate or graduate degree in nutrition but may not be a licensed professional. In some states, the only providers who can call themselves nutritionists are dietitians (like Tennessee, where I’m licensed).
Who can work with me for 1:1 nutrition counseling?
Providing virtual medical nutrition therapy (MNT) or nutrition counseling by a dietitian is regulated by state licensure. I am able to provide 1:1 virtual counseling for clients who reside in the following states: AK, AZ, CA, CO, CT, HI, ID, IN, MA, MI, NH, NY, OK, OR, PA, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WA, WI, WV, WY.
What does trauma have to do with nutrition?
I’m glad you asked, I wrote a blog post about it here.
How do I know if my child will benefit from these services?
If you are the primary caregiver to a child between the ages of 0-21 years of age, you can greatly benefit from nutrition information designed to improve your connection to your child and also promote a healthy relationship with food.
How do I know if my organization will benefit from these services?
If your organization works with or serves children between the ages of 0-21 years old, you can greatly benefit from nutrition information designed to promote a healthy relationship with food.
What are the fees? Can I use health insurance?
You can see the fees for our 1:1 services on the program page. We are unable to take insurance, but we can provide a super bill. This can sometimes be used to receive reimbursement from an insurance provider or health spending account (HSA). It is encouraged to contact your insurance provider and/or HSA company to see if nutrition services can be reimbursed.
