I am not just a number on the scale. My dietitian takes into consideration so many things that aren’t even related to my weight, which I had never realized were contributing to my health.

I’ve been meeting with my Nourish nutritionist, Chelsey, for about four weeks now. She’s great to work with, has tons of helpful resources, understands my goals and my challenges and comes to each session with a casual, but productive mindset. The platform is easy to use. The virtual appointments are very convenient and scheduling/rescheduling is easy. Billing to my insurance was easy to set up.
Allison G

I'll be honest. I was skeptical of trying this on app that I saw an ad for on social media. But I was able to verify my insurance was accepted beforehand so I thought it was risk free to try. Scheduling was easy. Done in minutes. App worked without technical problems. When I spoke to the dietician, she was so professional and knowledgeable. And a real person! I've already scheduled follow up appointments and I'm not stressed about the financial piece of things since I got that covered before my initial appointment. Pretty cool experience!
Michael B

This process worked out awesome. I was hesitant to give my insurance and card info but it worked out great. My insurance covered the entire cost and my nutritionist Dani was great. I am very active and was injured and lost, she was able to coach me through improving my eating habits and improve my food intake completely. Sidenote; implementing her guidance not only helped me it had a trickle down effect for the entire household.

Nourish has paired me up with a knowledgeable (she's fantastic) dietician. We not only discuss the science of food but the behavior surrounding it. I have tried several nutritionists before, and haven't had much luck. I gain so much knowledge but also habit building principles that empower me to make better choices. The service itself, is easy to use and offers the right amount of tech to support positive outcomes. And not to mention, my insurance covers it.

Absolutely amazing company. My dietician is such a gem. She’s friendly, easy to talk to, very knowledgeable, and sincere. I get many tips, suggestions, and feedback. She actively listens; what more could you ask for. My sessions are 100% covered by my insurance! I feel better and more confident about my health choices and journey now.

I was not expecting such a positive experience with Nourish. I’ve been meeting with my dietician for about a month now, all completely covered by insurance. $0 out of pocket. She has given me some great tools focused around intuitive eating that have really helped with my body image and overall nutrition. I will continue meeting with her. It’s been a very positive addition to my week.

I was unsure about working with a dietician at fiest, but working with Lauren has made a world of difference in not only my outlook on my physical health, but my relationship with food, movement, and mindfulness when it comes to what I nourish my body with. I'm so glad I met her and was able to work with her for as long as I did. I would still if my insurance allowed it! Thank you Lauren for helping unpack my health journey with me!

It's so stinking easy to find a great dietician, tell them what you eat, and then try the thing they suggest. Most doctors I've seen just want to throw medicine at me, but the dietician and I both agree it's not always the first answer. rather dietary changes, however, should be. Also ITS COVERED BY INSURANCE MAKING IT A NO BRAINER.

The first thing Nourish does is verify insurance coverage. They determine copay so there are never any guesses. After every submission to insurance, they send me an email letting me know my session was covered. That’s great! My dietitian, Ashley Wing, is amazing! She’s knowledgeable, engaging, and encouraging.

I decided on Nourish since they take insurance and to guide me in my weightloss efforts. My experience with Hilary has been a Godsend! She is very knowledgeable and ive learned alot. Also, very helpful and not pushy. She gives me goals to meet which is very good for me! I want to continue my journey to reach my better eating habits and weightloss goal. Im a tough candidate since i have Lupus and RA but Hilary works well with my situation and I appreciate her!

So happy I found Nourish! I started working with Stephanie a couple of weeks ago and she has been amazing! I really feel like she’ll be able to help me fix my gut after years of not being able to eat so many types of foods because of IBS and SIBO. Stephanie is very experienced, knowledgeable and very caring. I highly recommend her!

I’ve been working with Lauren for about 2 months now & we’ve made so much progress! With her help, I was finally able to get diagnosed & prescribed medication for my IBS. She helped me navigate a flare up & get in contact with a specialist. She also helped advocate the seriousness of my chronic illness to my gastrointestinal specialists. She truly does go above & beyond in her treatment; in both, emotional & physical treatment. I’m excited to heal my gut & start exposure therapy with new foods soon!

I have type two diabetes since I’ve been with Nourish. I have been educated on things that I can eat that I didn’t know I could being a diabetic. They answer your questions if they’re able to .They are very informative I’ve been with a nutritionist that didn’t help much. I’ve been on a program with a very high protein very low carb that was making me sick, and since I’ve been with Nourish, I have lost weight. I am able to eat a balance diet. I love this program ,always here to help you! I’m excited to be on this program.

I’ve been a diabetic for the last 10 years and having a diabetes specialist is priceless. She has taught me so much about my habits and breaks things down for me that my endocrinologist doesn’t have time too. Nourish made it so easy to find someone and meeting virtually is invaluable AND it’s completely covered by my insurance. Love it?

My counselor has given me wonderful tools that have helped me manage my newly diagnosed diabetes. I feel more confident in my food choices and my ability to understand how my body reacts to food. She has made this serious life change less intimidating than it was initially. During every session, she has given me advice and encouragement that I can use to be in control of my Diabetes. I look forward to our meetings. The Nourish program is wonderful!

Patti T
<Condition>
As a night nurse who transitioned to a day nurse, my eating habits were atrocious! I would eat everything that was quick and easy and fast because that was all we had time for. Hanna is teaching me that nutrition can be as good as fast foods but much more nutritionally beneficial for my age as I hit the big “60”! And I’m starting to feel better already! Less bloating and lab work is improving but still not where I need it to be. Thank you Hanna C. for all your patience and help!

I turned to Nourish after being told by countless doctors that I should just "get used" to my hormone cycle. I was so lost and upset. I found a good match for a dietician in Nourish, and she helped me find solutions to most of my health problems within two weeks. It's been life changing.
Jeanette O

I work with a registered dietitian, Patti, who is an absolute gem. She is able to take my dietary needs into consideration when helping me figure out a meal plan for myself. She is quick to find what needs to be adjusted and quick to verbalize what I’m doing well. I look forward to our sessions! The best part is my insurance covers the cost of our sessions 100%. I pay nothing out of pocket.

Since starting my sessions with Kristina Schmidt I’ve been able to hold myself more accountable. She’s helped me with my meal planning, and where I should focus my goals. She’s so encouraging and I love that she’s so engaged and her background makes this process easier. Her guidance makes me feel unstoppable. I’ve been able to set short and long term goals. Each session with Kristina I feel I grow my knowledge . Highly recommend!!!!!

I like Nourish. Working directly with a dietitian to talk through my eating habits, relationship with food and exercise and finding more balance and consistency. I have tried all kinds of “calorie deficit” approaches to weight loss, I am working with my Nourish Coach to help me break out of “good/bad” dichotomy and trust myself to listen to myself to what is healthy for me after years of dieting.
The best part is that Nourish is covered by my insurance and they did all the work to make sure I was covered, so I only pay a copay. I see Nourish as a long term partner to help me stay consistent and healthy despite the ups and downs of life.

My dietician, Tracy, is the absolute best. I am so thankful for her. Her knowledge. Her compassion, and he support, and belief in my ability to succeed. I have been very over weight nearly my whole life, and I never felt like I would actually make it. Well, I have been using Nourish for 18 days, and checking in with Tracy weekly. I am losing more faster than I ever thought possible. My heart is so full!

I love my nutritionist, she’s the most down to earth helpful ally in my self healing journey. After my first appointment my psych diagnosed me with BED and we’ve been working on mindful eating since day one. She has recommended me multiple useful resources and doesn’t make me feel ashamed about having binge eating disorder but she’s helping me heal from it and more.

I feel so lucky to have been connected with my nutritionist, Tanya. I had neglected my physical health for over ten years due to difficulty with my mental health and general ambivalence toward any weight loss goals. The reason I chose to try out Nourish is because, at age 29, I finally had the courage to take an honest look at my physical health and, after I got some lab results back, I learned that I had to make some serious lifestyle changes to reverse my PCOS and pre-diabetes diagnoses. Tanya provided me with so much helpful information regarding nutrition, but above all, she met me where I was at with lots of compassion and positive reinforcement.
Martha M

I feel like Katrina Detter listens to me and answers all my questions while also making sure I understand. She’s also the first person to explain PCOS to me and how it affects my body in a way that is easy to follow . She also makes changing my lifestyle very easy.

How Can a Dietitian Help with ARFID?
The time it takes to heal from Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) varies significantly from person to person. Factors such as the severity of the disorder, underlying health conditions, and individual response to treatment all play a role in the recovery timeline.
Personalized Nutrition Plans
Dietitians create customized meal plans that cater to your specific needs and preferences, ensuring you receive adequate nutrition while respecting your food aversions and sensory sensitivities.
Gradual Food Exposure
Using evidence-based techniques, dietitians can help you gradually introduce and tolerate new foods. This process is carefully managed to minimize anxiety and discomfort.
Nutritional Counseling
Dietitians provide ongoing counseling to address the emotional and psychological aspects of ARFID. They offer support and strategies to cope with food-related anxiety and stress.
Education and Skill-Building
They educate you about the importance of balanced nutrition and help you develop skills for meal planning, grocery shopping, and food preparation that accommodate your needs.
Coordination with Healthcare Team
Dietitians often work with other healthcare professionals, such as psychologists and physicians, to provide a comprehensive approach to managing ARFID. This multidisciplinary support ensures all aspects of your health are addressed.
Monitoring and Adjustments
Regular follow-ups with a dietitian allow for the monitoring of your progress and the adjustment of your nutrition plan as needed. This ensures that the approach remains effective and supportive.
Support for Parents and Caregivers
For children with ARFID, dietitians provide guidance and support to parents and caregivers, helping them understand the condition and implement strategies at home to support their child's nutritional needs.
Encouragement and Motivation
Dietitians offer encouragement and motivation, helping you celebrate small victories and stay committed to your goals. Their support can make a significant difference in your journey toward a more varied and balanced diet.
By working with a dietitian experienced in ARFID, you can make meaningful progress in managing the disorder, improving your nutritional intake, and enhancing your overall quality of life.
How Long Does It Take to Heal from ARFID?
The time it takes to heal from Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) varies significantly from person to person. Factors such as the severity of the disorder, underlying health conditions, and individual response to treatment all play a role in the recovery timeline.
Early Stages: Building Trust and Initial Progress (0-3 Months)
- Initial Assessment: In the first few weeks, a dietitian will conduct a comprehensive assessment to understand your specific needs and challenges.
- Establishing Goals: Early sessions focus on setting realistic goals and developing a personalized nutrition plan.
- Gradual Changes: Initial progress may involve small, gradual changes to your diet, aiming to introduce and tolerate new foods at a comfortable pace.
Mid-Term: Developing New Habits and Expanding Food Choices (3-12 Months)
- Consistent Monitoring: Regular follow-ups help track progress and make necessary adjustments to the nutrition plan.
- Increasing Food Variety: As trust and confidence build, the dietitian will work with you to expand your food choices and increase nutritional variety.
- Behavioral Strategies: Incorporating behavioral strategies to manage anxiety and stress related to food intake becomes more effective over time.
Long-Term: Sustained Progress and Independence (12 Months and Beyond)
- Ongoing Support: Continued support from the dietitian, along with potential involvement of other healthcare professionals, ensures sustained progress.
- Greater Food Flexibility: With time, you may experience greater flexibility and comfort with a wider range of foods.
- Self-Management Skills: Developing self-management skills and gaining independence in making nutritional choices are key long-term goals.
Factors Influencing Recovery Time
- Severity of ARFID: More severe cases may require longer treatment periods.
- Age and Developmental Stage: Children and adolescents may progress differently compared to adults.
- Support System: A strong support system, including family and healthcare professionals, can positively influence recovery.
- Underlying Conditions: Co-occurring mental health conditions, such as anxiety or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), may extend the recovery timeline.
Patience and Persistence
Recovery from ARFID is a gradual process that requires patience, persistence, and a supportive environment. It's important to celebrate small victories and remain committed to the long-term goal of achieving a balanced and varied diet.
Ongoing Management
Even after significant progress, ongoing management and occasional check-ins with a dietitian may be necessary to maintain improvements and prevent relapse.
Healing from ARFID is a journey that varies for each individual. With the right support and strategies, you can make meaningful progress towards a healthier relationship with food and improved nutritional intake.
