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.
What to look for in a fertility nutritionist
Proper credentials
Look for a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RD/RDN) with experience in fertility nutrition. They should have specialized training in reproductive health, hormone balance, PCOS, or prenatal nutrition. Membership in professional organizations like the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics or ASRM is a plus.
Expertise in fertility nutrition
Choose an RD or RDN specializing in reproductive health, hormone balance, and fertility-related conditions. They should offer personalized nutrition plans and, ideally, have prior experience helping people trying to conceive. Ongoing education in fertility nutrition is also a strong indicator of expertise. Ask questions in your first session to learn about your fertility nutritionist’s background and experience.
Empathetic communication
Fertility struggles can be emotional and stressful. Empathy helps build trust and creates a supportive space for you to open up about your challenges. It ensures you receive personalized care and feel heard and understood during this sensitive time.
Affordable
A fertility nutritionist should be affordable to ensure support is within reach when needed. High costs can add stress to an already difficult journey. With Fay's fertility nutritionist dietitians, you could pay nothing or a small co-pay for consultations. This allows you to focus on your health and fertility instead of worrying about added expenses.

Enhance fertility with the right fertility diet for you
Improve fertility rates
Nutrition plays a vital role in fertility. A healthy diet rich in folic acid, B12, and omega-3 fatty acids can support reproductive health in women. On the other hand, unhealthy diets with high trans fats, processed foods, and sugary drinks have been linked to lower fertility. For men, diets high in healthy fats and antioxidants may improve semen quality. While diet alone can’t fix all fertility issues, making healthy food choices can enhance your overall reproductive health, whether you're trying to conceive naturally or with fertility treatments.
Manage PCOS
Your diet helps manage PCOS by controlling blood sugar and insulin. Whole foods high in fiber and protein help slow glucose release and prevent insulin spikes. A balanced diet with leafy greens, whole grains, and lean proteins can ease symptoms like irregular periods and excess hair growth. Limiting processed foods and sugary drinks reduces inflammation and weight gain. A healthy diet supports better management of PCOS and lowers long-term health risks like type 2 diabetes.
Lower inflammation
Chronic inflammation can contribute to infertility by affecting hormone balance, egg quality, and implantation. It’s often linked to conditions like PCOS, endometriosis, and diabetes, which make conception harder. A fertility nutritionist can provide a personalized anti-inflammatory diet rich in antioxidants, omega-3s, fermented foods, and the prenatal vitamins you need. Avoiding processed foods, refined sugars, and trans fats also reduces inflammation. This tailored approach can help support your fertility and improve your chances of conceiving.
Maintain healthy body weight
Weight impacts fertility in both men and women. In women, being overweight or underweight can disrupt hormones and ovulation. For men, obesity lowers sperm count and quality. Reaching a healthy weight boosts the chances of conception and a healthy pregnancy. A fertility nutritionist can guide you with personalized diet plans to manage weight and improve fertility. Even small weight changes can make a difference.
