Everyone's journey is different, so your dietitian works with you 1 on 1 to provide a hyper-personalized plan
Have you tried (seemingly) every diet out there with limited success? Trying to beat prediabetes holistically? Worn out from life and know your diet could be better but don’t know where to start? Your dietitian will assess all this and more to craft a completely personalized approach for your treatment based on your goals, lifestyle, health history, motivators, and more. Fay dietitians use clinically proven methods to drive results, including goal setting, intuitive eating, nutrition education, lifestyle counseling, lab testing, and meal planning.
The world of nutrition is overwhelming. There’s so much information out there – but how can you know what’s right for you? The reality is: nutrition is complex and requires an expert’s guidance. Registered dietitians are the only nutrition professionals qualified to offer medical nutrition therapy (MNT). That means RDNs have a deep understanding of the chemical properties of food and how that interacts with one’s body on a cellular level to impact overall health. Instead of stressing out over the latest food trend, put your care in the hands of a dietitian and find ease in knowing you’re getting personalized, research-backed nutrition advice.
Ready to break free from the harsh voice in your head criticizing your every food choice? Whether weight loss is part of your goals or not, your dietitian can help calm the noise with a research-backed approach that addresses both the practical challenges of daily meals and the psychological factors of disordered eating. You can learn ways to manage your health and weight that go beyond the confines of a traditional “diet” by prioritizing balance and finding the right nutrition approach for you personally.
Accountability is a crucial factor in making any lifestyle change. Having a set weekly meeting with your dietitian – and knowing you have an expert on your side – can make a world of difference when it comes to sticking to your nutrition goals. You’ll have regular check-ins where you go over your progress and any challenges you’re facing, and together, you and your dietitian will make adjustments to account for your evolving needs. RDNs know as well as anyone that a successful plan is one that fits into your life, not works against it.
You have to make a lot of decisions every day, including what to eat. Meal planning removes the headache of that decision, and when it’s done in partnership with your dietitian, it’s that much easier to meet your goals without exhausting yourself in the process. All the hard work of figuring out how much to eat and when is already done for you – you just need to stick to the plan. Your RDN can provide meal ideas and recipes too, which can help boost adherence and make following your plan simpler and more enjoyable.
No matter why you’re getting a dietitian’s expertise, intuitive eating principles can help almost anyone cultivate a healthier relationship with food. Using behavioral psychology, intuitive eating emphasizes getting in touch with your body to better understand hunger and fullness cues, identify emotional eating, and remove any shame or guilt that might come up. With this psychological approach, your dietitian can help you calm the “food noise” in your mind to cultivate a sense of empowerment and joy in eating once again.
Meeting your nutrition goals is about more than just the food you eat. Your daily routine – activity level, sleep schedule, stress levels, work life, and environment – has a huge impact on your overall health. Your dietitian will create your personalized plan based on these factors and more. Taking this approach makes your plan more realistic, which makes achieving your goals easier. It also allows your RD to identify any potential challenges and craft a plan to overcome them.
Food can play an important role in managing chronic health conditions, but you need an expert to guide you. Fay has dietitians specializing in diabetes, IBS, PCOS, thyroid health, obesity, and more. These providers can collaborate directly with your broader care team to ensure your nutrition plan is aligned with your ongoing treatments. Your RDN can do more than just make a meal plan based on your goals and condition – they can also educate you on the key factors of eating for that condition, empowering you to continue the care for yourself.
Health is foundational to wellbeing. Fay dietitians are qualified to support weight loss, hormonal imbalances, chronic disease, and much more. Collaborating with an RDN greatly increases your chances of success in meeting your goals. Whatever your nutrition goals are, you can find a board-certified registered dietitian nutritionist specializing in that area with Fay.
Food is intrinsically linked to our health and wellbeing. People who worked with a dietitian through Fay made lifestyle changes that had immense benefit to their physical health.
Making lifestyle changes surrounding food and nutrition had benefits that went beyond the physical. Food and our relationship with it, has far reaching implications on our emotional and mental health.
What to look for in a nutritionist that accepts Aetna
Most qualified
When selecting a Registered Dietitian, look for the title RD or RDN after their name. This ensures you're working with a qualified professional with a degree in nutritional sciences and substantial experience. RDs are board-licensed, often hold additional certifications, and complete internships to refine their skills, making them well-equipped to meet your nutrition needs.
Proven track record of success
It's important to find a Registered Dietitian with a track record of success. Success stories show how they've helped others achieve their health goals and give you insight into their communication style and effectiveness. Reading customer reviews can also highlight their expertise in managing different dietary needs and health concerns.
Experience in your area of concern
Choosing a dietitian with experience and specialization in your area of concern is essential. For example, if you have food allergies or gut health issues, your nutritional needs will differ from someone recovering from cancer or an eating disorder. A specialized dietitian provides targeted, effective advice and creates personalized plans to help you reach your health goals and manage any challenges.
An empathetic approach
A dietitian nutritionist with an empathetic approach might be more helpful in achieving your weight and health goals. They can better understand your struggles and provide support that feels personalized and caring. This supportive relationship can make it easier to stay motivated and committed to your health journey.
Benefits of working with a Aetna Nutritionist near you
Customized meals & diet plans
Each person's body is unique, so generic diet plans often don't work well. Personalized eating plans take into account your lifestyle, food preferences, any allergies or intolerances, nutritional deficiencies, and any other needs unique to you. Fay's Aetna dietitians provide tailored guidance and diet advice to help improve your health.
Schedule at your convenience
Scheduling online or in-person sessions with an Aetna nutritionist near you offers great flexibility. You can choose what fits best with your busy schedule and personal preferences. Whether you prefer face-to-face interaction or the convenience of virtual meetings, Aetna dietitians offer you the personalized support you need to reach your health goals.
Covered by Aetna insurance
An Aetna dietitian covered by your health plan can save you money on professional nutritional guidance, often costing nothing or just a small copay of $10. You'll receive personalized diet plans tailored to your health needs without worrying about high out-of-pocket costs. This support can help you achieve your health goals more effectively and with less financial stress.
Ongoing support for lasting change
Many people find it hard to stick to diets long-term because they aren't taught how to handle setbacks, follow overly restrictive diets, or struggle with emotional eating. With ongoing support from a registered dietitian, you'll receive the guidance and encouragement needed for lasting changes. They help you navigate challenges and develop sustainable habits for long-term success.
Take charge of your health with Aetna nutritionists
Boost energy levels
Foods affect each of us in different ways. What works for one person may not for another depending on genetics, metabolism, lifestyle, and pre-existing medical conditions. How do you get the right type and amount of protein, whole vegetables, fruit, and grains, and healthy fats that your body needs so you can stop feeling tired all the time and get the energy to achieve your goals?
Lower high blood pressure (hypertension)
More than half of American adults have hypertension or high blood pressure, but many don’t know it. This silent killer has no symptoms until it becomes severe and can lead to heart disease if left uncontrolled. While genetics play a role, changes to your diet, lifestyle, stress levels, and sleep can help lower your blood pressure. An Aetna dietitian nutritionist can create a tailored nutritional plan and provide ongoing support to help you manage hypertension.
Control diabetes
America is facing a diabetes epidemic, largely due to rising obesity rates, as diabetes risk increases with weight gain. High blood sugar can damage nerves, blood vessels, and tissues, leading to vision loss, poor circulation, and foot issues, and it may even be linked to dementia. Whether or not you're on diabetes medication, your diet and lifestyle are crucial for managing blood sugar levels. An Aetna nutritionist can help you tackle insulin resistance and guide you toward better health.
Improve gut health
Improving gut health is important because it affects digestion, immunity, and overall well-being. Having a healthy gut can even help in weight loss! An Aetna nutritionist can help you by creating a personalized plan that includes gut-friendly foods and lifestyle tips. With their guidance, you can balance your gut microbiome, improve digestion, and boost your overall health.
