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 love Nourish. The service is phenomenal, my provider, Nicole Swingle is truly the best of the best, and I am forever grateful for her. She's the reason I have hope for the future of my health again. I can't say enough good things about this service and my provider. 10/10. Even after about a year, I see her every 2 weeks. I hope there's never a time when I can't.

Greyson P

Since that first meeting, my dietitian has completely changed my view around food. I’ve been able to work with her to find out which food, patterns, and other factors influence my stomach pain.

Nourish has helped me improve my numbers on my blood results and taught me so much about how I can maintain healthy food choices without making large sacrifices in what I like to eat.

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.

Jessica W

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.

Becky S

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.

Ashely G

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.

Erica T

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!

Chris C

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.

David A

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.

Debbie P

This has been the best investment in me all 2024. All appointments have been covered by insurance so that has been nice . Each appointment is catered to my health needs and takes into consideration my current conditions

Zenaida B

This really is a wonderful service! My insurance covers it so I thought I’d try it. I think I’m finally at a place where I’m all in on my health because I believe change is possible for someone like me thanks to Amanda who really partners with you as a coach and a friend who cares. My life has been forever changed to be a better wife, mom, teacher, and person. In a world of fake paid reviews I have to give a real one!

Jaimie M

My dietitian is amazing!! I really like working with him and am learning a lot. My insurance accepted the service with $0 out of pocket. I highly recommend this service!!!

Michael P

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!

Michele G

My dietician is super friendly and passionate about what she does. She gives me feedback specific to my eating habits and I can ask her questions anytime. They are 100% covered by insurance. I highly recommend Nourish.

Greyson P

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!

Angela L

The Nourish app is easy to use and the doctors are very helpful, understanding and professional! My first appointment with Vanessa Schiffelbine was amazing! She’s really sweet and attentive and didn’t waste any time, she gave me the tools to get my gut health back. I would highly recommend this app 10/10 🥰

Romaim P

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!

Mary J

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.

Rachel B

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?

Jazmine H

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!

Linda M.

Amanda listened to what I was saying and was able to set my goals up and also advised on what I could do to help with any physical struggles I am having. This was a great experience!

Patti T

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!

Sis L

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.

Cassie K

My nutritionist is super helpful and really listens. She helps me understand everything and not only gives me a plan of action but the full reasoning behind it. Great platform, highly recommend.

Megan L

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!!!!!

Claudia M

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.

Andrea P

Lauren F

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!

Nikki J

The dietician I saw was absolutely amazing! She made me feel safe and comfortable from the get-go and I left our first appointment feeling hopeful about our plan. Great experience!

Erica K

My session with Christen was extremely helpful and informative! She was engaging and completely down to earth. I felt comfortable with her and I feel equipped to take control of my health and diet. I can't wait until our next session!

Tanya S

My nutritionist, Jessica Stafford through nourish, has helped so much. We needed help with diabetes control and kidney issues. She has been incredible with us and given us all the tools necessary to take control of our situation. Since using her tools, both my brother and I have lost around 10 pounds each.

Dave D

Cate is an amazing dietician- she has helped me with Binge Eating Disorder using evidence based practices. The scheduling is easy, customer service is great, and best of all my insurance covers my visits!!

Colleen L

I have made leaps and bounds in my ED recovery! I’ve struggled with anorexia for two years and this is the first council and accountability that is finally making a difference. This is the true road to healing that I needed! Thank you 🙏🏼

Ava L

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.

Sammy U

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.

Melissa P

My nutritionist Jamel is AMAZING!! Her knowledge wows me. She makes everything so understandable and easily implemented into MY lifestyle. She sets realistic goals for me that keep me consistently moving toward my optimal health while giving myself grace. I started seeing results in less than 2 weeks.

Have worked with 2 Nutritionist of different qualifications. Morgan & Kathryn.. Equals in the Field of Preventative Health & Nutrition. Kathryn has taken over my care as she has more direct experience with Diabetes & Autoimmune Nutrition. Will continue this program as long as it is covered by Cigna. As these incredible Nutritionists have helped to guide my daily caloric & nutrition needs while competing with my over active brain and odd list of Immune Diseases.

Greyson P

I am really enjoying my experience. Each session is really efficient. My dietician always has a plan of what we will cover. She provides supporting documentation. She asks me for input every step of the way. And I walk away with tangible takeaways and goals for the upcoming week.

Vanessa H

My Nourish Dietitian was so friendly and not overwhelming at all. She seems very capable and knowledgeable I can't wait to meet back up with her! I've never been so excited about getting a food plan.

Kim I

The dietitian is kind, empathetic, and incredibly knowledgeable. This is something I should have done decades ago. I’m really excited to work toward a good relationship with food and to work on my health during menopause with the help of a professional.

How a Nourish dietitian can help manage Autoimmune Conditions

Personalized nutrition planning

Autoimmune conditions can be dynamic, and nutritional needs may change over time. Regular follow-ups with a dietitian allow for adjustments to the nutrition plan based on the individual's response and any changes in their health status.

We offer virtual one-on-one sessions with dietitians to discuss preventative actions that can be taken to address your health concerns. We educate, assess lifestyle changes, help plan your nutrition, and support our clients toward long-lasting success using personalized nutrition counseling.

Convenient, virtual appointments

Receive the highest quality care wherever you are most comfortable. You get access to your dietitian virtually anytime, anywhere. Nourish dietitians can conduct a thorough assessment of your dietary habits, lifestyle, and specific autoimmune condition to understand the unique needs and challenges - all from home.

Receive the highest quality care wherever you are most comfortable. You get access to your dietitian virtually anytime, anywhere. No more driving to appointments. No more waiting around.

A holistic approach

Avoiding future complications

Autoimmune conditions may impact nutrient absorption. A dietitian can help plan diets that are rich in essential nutrients to support overall health and compensate for potential deficiencies.Some autoimmune conditions may be triggered or worsened by specific foods. Receive guidances for elimination diets to identify potential trigger foods and develop a plan to manage or avoid them.

The payoff you’ll see for adjusting your lifestyle with nutrition counseling will be tremendous for your health. You’re less likely to suffer from a heart condition, kidney failure, and other serious conditions with the proper discipline and determination that we help provide.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We’ve got answers.

Still deciding if we’re right for you? These frequently asked questions may help.

How can a nutritionist help with autoimmune conditions?

Many autoimmune conditions can be managed in part by specific dietary interventions. The approach depends on which autoimmune disorder you have, making it essential to find a registered dietitian who can guide you in following the appropriate eating pattern.

For example, a person with celiac disease must follow a strict, lifelong gluten-free diet to prevent intestinal damage. Type 1 diabetes requires careful monitoring of carbohydrate intake to control blood sugar levels. An individual with inflammatory bowel disease may need to adjust the fiber content of their diet to relieve symptoms.

Are autoimmune conditions curable?

Though there are medical treatments and lifestyle changes that can help people manage their symptoms, most autoimmune conditions do not have a cure.

Your treatment will likely continue lifelong and depends on the type of autoimmune disorder you have. Some medications help improve symptoms, while others suppress the immune system to help manage inflammation.

If your autoimmune condition has been under control for a while (known as remission), you may still occasionally experience a flare-up. Work with your healthcare team to identify your triggers, and let your doctor know if you feel a flare coming on.

What are the different types of autoimmune conditions?

Autoimmune diseases happen when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues, causing inflammation and damage. They can affect many body systems, like the skin, digestive tract, thyroid gland, nerves, and joints.

There are over 80 different autoimmune conditions, with the most common being:

Type 1 diabetes.
Multiple sclerosis (MS.)
Lupus.
Rheumatoid arthritis.
Inflammatory bowel disease.
Celiac disease.
Hashimoto’s thyroiditis.
Psoriasis.

It can be challenging to receive a diagnosis for an autoimmune condition because the symptoms often overlap with other common diseases.

Though symptoms vary significantly between the different autoimmune conditions, some of the most common signs include:

Chronic fatigue.
Dizziness.
Low-grade fever.

How can I find a <Name> dietitian who accepts my insurance?

Thyroid Disorders

Can a Nutritionist Help With Autoimmune Conditions?

There are different diets that may help manage symptoms of various autoimmune conditions.

Autoimmune disorders occur when your immune system mistakenly targets healthy cells, causing damage to various organs and body systems, like your digestive tract, skin, or thyroid gland. Over time, this causes inflammation, resulting in symptoms like fatigue, digestive upset, weight changes, and joint pain.

There is evidence that nutrition therapy can play a role in reducing inflammation in autoimmune conditions. When searching for a nutritionist, you’ll want to select a provider with the proper credentials. A registered dietitian (RD) or registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) specializing in autoimmune disorders is ideal.

What is the Best Diet for Autoimmune Conditions?

There are different diets that may help manage symptoms of various autoimmune conditions.

For example, an eating pattern for celiac disease will focus on eliminating gluten. A diet for ulcerative colitis involves increasing or decreasing your fiber intake depending on whether or not you are in an active flare-up. A dietitian can tailor an eating plan based on your autoimmune condition, medical history, and dietary preferences.

The Autoimmune Protocol (AIP)

The Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) is a popular elimination diet designed to target chronic inflammation in people with autoimmune conditions. It is a more restrictive version of the paleo diet, primarily made up of minimally processed lean animal proteins, vegetables, and fruit. The AIP diet is meant to be a short-term elimination, followed by a reintroduction phase to help identify individual triggers and liberalize the diet for the long term.

Though the AIP diet is not for everyone, it can be effective for certain autoimmune conditions, including inflammatory bowel diseases (ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease). Since this is a restrictive diet with multiple stages, it’s best to work with a registered dietitian to ensure adequate nutrition throughout the process.

How Are Autoimmune Conditions Treated?

Autoimmune conditions are typically treated through a combination of medication and lifestyle changes, like dietary strategies or physical therapy. Though treatments can help improve symptoms and quality of life for many autoimmune diseases, there are no cures at this time. More research on the development and progression of these disorders is needed to better understand how to treat them.

There are many dietary recommendations online that are not evidence-based for managing autoimmune conditions, and some can be harmful in the long term. Talk to a registered dietitian to help you identify safe and effective nutrition strategies.

Which Foods Can Aggravate Autoimmune Conditions?

Because each autoimmune disease affects your body differently, the foods that cause flare-ups vary across conditions. Talk to your doctor and dietitian about the best dietary strategies for you.

Some foods contain compounds that may lead to inflammation in certain individuals with autoimmune conditions. Examples of possible food triggers per the AIP diet include:

Grains.
Legumes.
Nightshade vegetables (like tomatoes, potatoes, and peppers).
Dairy.
Refined sugar.
Alcohol.
Eggs.
Coffee.
Nuts and seeds.
Oils.
Food additives.

In addition, a diet high in ultra-processed foods has been linked to chronic inflammation. This includes things like soda, potato chips, and fast food which are far from their natural form, containing high amounts of refined sugar, salt, and saturated fat.

Most people with autoimmune diseases don’t need to eliminate every food from this list to reduce inflammation and improve symptoms. Working with a professional to identify your personal food triggers is important.
