Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: What services do you offer?
We offer individual and group nutrition therapy for weight management, metabolic health, digestive issues, hormone balance, diabetes, eating disorders, pediatric nutrition, post-bariatric support, and more.
Q: Do you see children and teens?
Yes, we have a pediatric team that specializes in supporting kids and teens with nutrition for growth, focus, behavior, digestive health, eating disorders, and overall wellness.
Q: Is this covered by insurance?
Most of the time, yes—depending on your plan and diagnosis. We always recommend verifying with your insurance company. Our team will also check your benefits and let you know what’s covered.
Q: What if I’m not covered?
We offer private pay options, and many of our patients find the value and results well worth the investment. Our team will walk you through pricing and packages.
Q: What tools or extras do you offer?
We offer Fullscript supplements, Rupa Health and Vibrant Wellness testing, personalized meal planning, body composition testing, and remote therapeutic monitoring. We also provide both telehealth and in-person appointments. Most of these will be included in your program or package - some may be additional (ie. nutrition supplements and functional testing).
Q: Do I need a referral?
Not usually—but certain plans or conditions may require one. If that’s the case, we’ll guide you through the process. If you have Medicare or an HMO, we will need your primary care physician’s name in order to make the appointment. We will take care of the referral for you if the appointments are covered by your insurance plan. (HINT: Take a look at your health insurance card. If your primary care provider’s name is listed on the card, we will need their name).
