Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the questions we hear most often. If you don't see yours, please reach out - we’re happy to talk.
What types of nutrition counseling do you offer?
Nutrition counseling is available for a range of concerns, including general nutrition, metabolic health, changes in nutritional needs, and nutrition support for individuals using GLP-1 medications. Care is individualized based on your health history, goals, and circumstances.
What makes your approach different?
Nutrition care should be as individual as the person receiving it. Counseling combines evidence-based nutrition science with a weight-inclusive, collaborative approach that considers your health, lifestyle, preferences, and relationship with food. The emphasis is on practical guidance rather than rigid rules or standardized recommendations.
Do you accept health insurance?
Yes. Nutrition counseling may be covered by your health insurance plan, depending on your benefits and the reason for your visit. Coverage varies by insurer and individual policy. We can help you understand your options before scheduling.
What can I expect during my first appointment?
Your initial appointment includes a comprehensive nutrition assessment, reviewing your health history, current eating patterns, lifestyle, and goals. Together, we’ll identify areas where nutrition counseling may be helpful and develop an individualized plan that fits your needs.
Can you help if I’m taking a GLP-1 medication?
Yes. Nutrition counseling can address changes in appetite, meeting nutritional needs, maintaining muscle mass, managing gastrointestinal side effects, and supporting long-term health while using GLP-1 medications.
Do you offer virtual appointments?
Yes. All appointments are conducted through secure telehealth, allowing you to receive individualized nutrition counseling from the comfort of your home. Services are available in Maine and other states where the clinician is authorized to practice.
Do I need a referral from my physician?
You can contact us directly to inquire about services. Some insurance plans may require a physician referral or specific documentation for coverage, depending on your benefits.
