We are registered dietitians who believe that nutrition is not just about fueling the body, but also about nurturing well-being, health, and vitality throughout all stages of life.
Our approach to nutrition guidance is individualized and tailored to your specific needs. We believe that navigating nutrition goals should be an empowering process. Whether your nutrition goals are focused on weight management, chronic medical conditions, or improving your relationship with food, we are here to support your journey, in becoming a healthier you, one step at a time.
How can a Registered Dietitian support my long-term health goals?
Today, an estimated 133 million Americans – nearly half the population – suffer from at least one chronic illness, such as hypertension and heart disease. And many of those struggling with chronic conditions have not been assessed by a registered dietitian.
At Nutri-Life, we understand the challenges in managing chronic conditions including diabetes, kidney disease, high cholesterol, and more. If you've ever felt overwhelmed after a doctor's visit or lost in online searches, you're not alone.
That's where we come in. Our registered dietitians specializes in Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT) to provide personalized guidance and counseling. Nutrition plans are tailored to your specific needs, chronic medical conditions, and personal health goals. We offer expert guidance to help you navigate your unique health challenges and develop sustainable strategies for well-being.
We are also an insurance-based dietitian practice, as we accept many major insurance companies including Anthem BCBS, Aetna, United Health Care, Cigna, and Medicare. We are currently working on partnerships with other carriers. Many insurance carriers cover Medical Nutrition Therapy as low as $0 per session. We strongly believe that nutrition counseling should be accessible to help support your health goals.
With Nutri-Life, you're not just a patient. We want to be a part of your health journey and celebrate the milestones you achieve through the power of nutrition. Our supportive approach ensures you receive the care and attention you deserve. Let us empower you on your journey to better health, starting today.
