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.

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.

Lauren F

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

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.

Nicky W

Greyson P

My nutritionist, Kelly is wonderful! She thoughtful, kind and creative. She remembers our past conversations and helps me with developing new ideas while providing encouragement and realistic expectations for sustainable changes.

Krista W

Christa W

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.

Laurie C

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.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

We’ve got answers.

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

What tests detect food allergies?

An allergist or immunologist uses a combination of tests to diagnose food allergies. These may include skin prick tests, blood tests, and food challenges.

It’s important to note that the blood tests used by allergists test for IgE antibodies. Though IgG tests are marketed to help identify food allergies and sensitivities, they have not been proven accurate in identifying allergies.

Can a dietitian diagnose a food allergy?

An allergist or immunologist diagnoses food allergies through a series of tests. Though a registered dietitian cannot diagnose a food allergy, they can help you identify food intolerances and sensitivities in your diet that may be causing you symptoms.

It’s important to distinguish food allergies from food sensitivities and intolerances. Food allergies result in an immune response that can be life-threatening. Food intolerances, like lactose intolerance, may cause digestive upset but do not involve the immune system.

What are the common types of food allergies?

Around 8% of children and over 10% of adults in the US have at least one food allergy. There are nine top allergens, which represent the most common foods to trigger allergic reactions:

Cow’s milk.
Eggs.
Wheat.
Peanuts.
Tree nuts.
Sesame.
Fish.
Shellfish.
Soy.

How can a nutritionist help with food allergies?

If you’ve been diagnosed with a food allergy, you must completely eliminate the allergen from your diet. A registered dietitian can help you learn how to read food labels and provide allergen-friendly meal tips and recipes.

If you have multiple food allergies, getting all the vitamins and minerals you need can be especially challenging. A dietitian can create an eating plan that ensures you meet all of your nutritional needs.

If you have young children, a registered dietitian can also advise on strategies for preventing food allergies, such as frequent exposure to peanuts from a young age.

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

How can a dietitian help with food allergies?

Dietitians, as registered healthcare professionals specializing in nutrition, typically do not perform diagnostic testing for food allergies themselves. Diagnosing food allergies requires medical expertise and specialized testing, which is typically conducted by allergists or other qualified healthcare providers.

1. Identifying Allergens: A dietitian can help you identify the specific allergens causing your symptoms. They can guide you through the process of eliminating potential allergens from your diet and help you keep track of your symptoms and food intake to determine the trigger foods.

2. Nutritional Guidance: Once your food allergies are identified, a dietitian can help you create a safe and balanced diet that avoids the allergenic foods while ensuring you meet your nutritional needs. They can provide guidance on alternative food choices, meal planning, and label reading to help you navigate your dietary restrictions.

3. Nutrient Adequacy: Eliminating certain foods due to allergies can increase the risk of nutrient deficiencies. A dietitian can help you ensure that you're getting all the necessary nutrients through appropriate substitutions and strategic food choices. They can also recommend suitable supplements if needed.

4. Hidden Allergens: Food allergies can be challenging to manage since allergenic ingredients can be present in unexpected places. A dietitian can help you identify hidden sources of allergens in processed foods, dining out, and ingredient lists, reducing the risk of accidental exposure.

5. Meal Planning and Recipe Modification: A dietitian can assist you in creating meal plans and modifying recipes to accommodate your food allergies. They can suggest alternative ingredients, cooking methods, and recipes that are safe and enjoyable.

6. Education and Support: Dietitians can educate you about food allergies, including how to prevent cross-contamination, read food labels effectively, and advocate for your needs in different settings. They can also provide emotional support and help you navigate social situations that involve food.

‍

Do dietitians test for food allergies?

However, dietitians can play a crucial role in the management of food allergies once a diagnosis has been established. They can work alongside allergists and healthcare teams to develop individualized dietary plans, provide guidance on allergen avoidance, and help ensure that the individual's nutritional needs are met while avoiding allergenic foods.

If you suspect you have a food allergy, it is important to consult with an allergist or immunologist. These specialists have the necessary training and expertise to conduct diagnostic tests, such as skin prick tests or blood tests, to identify specific food allergies. They can also help determine the appropriate management strategies, which may involve working with a dietitian to develop a safe and nutritionally balanced diet.
