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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
Improving gut health is important because it affects digestion, immunity, and overall well-being. Having a healthy gut can even help in weight loss!

With their guidance, you can balance your gut microbiome, improve digestion, and boost your overall health.
