Nutrition professionals come from a broad range of backgrounds, but registered dietitian nutritionists (RDs or RDNs) are the most qualified of the bunch. They have the most stringent education and clinical requirements, and only those who are board-certified and meet the requirements can use the title. With Fay’s network of RDNs, you know you’re getting the best nutrition care possible.
Fay clients have rated their experience a 4.97 out of 5 stars, across 3,000+ reviews. But don’t just take our word for it – see for yourself what each dietitians’ clients have to say. This total transparency enables you to pick someone you feel aligned with and who has a proven track record.
The field of nutrition is vast. When it comes to personalized care, you want someone who specializes in your area of concern. With Fay, you can filter your search by specialty to find someone who focuses on diabetes treatment, weight loss, eating disorders, and other key areas.
Finding a qualified provider you like is one thing – scheduling with them is another. With Fay, you can see which providers are available and whether they do in-person or virtual nutrition sessions. Working with an RD virtually opens up a world of possibilities and means you can work with a provider anywhere in the country, not just in New York.
You’re a unique individual with unique needs – and your nutrition plan should reflect that. Your Fay dietitian will create a completely custom plan tailored to your health history and goals based on a thorough intake. No more cookie-cutter meal plans; with Fay, it’s all about you.
You probably hear about new diets and trendy supplements every day. The world of nutrition is confusing because there is no singular way to be healthy. Your RD will help cut through the noise to create a simple approach based on evidence-based methods proven to improve your relationship with food, including getting out of the yo-yo diet cycle, leaving behind the diet mentality, and taking care of your top health concerns.
Life in NYC is expensive. Fay makes dietitian services accessible by connecting you with an RD covered by your health insurance and billing directly on your behalf. This means you could pay as little as $0 per session with an expert nutrition provider.
When you work with a dietitian, you’re never alone. Your Fay RD is there every step of the way to offer support and accountability as you make the necessary changes to meet your health goals. They can help educate you on key nutrition topics, offer resources like recipes or mindfulness exercises, and generally keep you on a steady path.
Chronic disease is the leading cause of death for all racial and ethnic groups in NYC, including heart disease and diabetes. Black New Yorkers specifically have the highest number of deaths related to diabetes and heart disease. Diet plays a significant role in chronic disease management, and even the city itself recognizes this, vowing to decrease these deaths by 5% by 2030 by “[increasing] health care access, prevention activities and access to healthy foods.” With the guidance of a registered dietitian, you can see clinically significant improvements across key health metrics.
New Yorkers have access to some of the best food in the world, and dining out is an inherent part of the New York lifestyle. Whether you’re a foodie at heart or find it hard to quit takeout, your dietitian will work with you to create a realistic meal plan that fits your lifestyle instead of fighting it. You can find ways to meet your health goals while still enjoying life.
New York is a global tastemaker – with food and fitness alike. Fitness studio titans Peloton and Soul Cycle were both founded in NYC, as were Shake Shack and Dig (formerly Dig Inn). Seemingly every week there’s a new food spot or workout class to try. How are you supposed to find consistency? Your RD can help you navigate the world of fitness and food trends to cultivate a balanced approach that enables you to keep up with what you care about while still prioritizing your health goals.
Fay connects people with Registered Dietitian Nutritionists to receive personalized nutrition counseling, covered by insurance. We accept over 700+ insurance plans so most patients will pay between $0 - $12 per session. Fay boasts the largest network of dietitians in the country with over 1,000, giving access to life-changing nutrition care to millions.
Fay has dietitians that specialize in eating disorders, gestational diabetes, bariatric, cardiovascular, weight management, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, stage 1 through 4 chronic kidney disease, oncology, GI, and many others. All dietitians on Fay are board-certified, licensed healthcare providers.
A registered dietitian (RD) or registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) is a credentialed practitioner who has, at least, completed a bachelor’s degree, a supervised practice program, the Commission on Dietetic Registration’s exam, and a state license. Both RD and RDN are protected titles, meaning only those who have completed the qualifications can use the titles. Nutritionist, however, is not a protected title, and anyone can claim it. There is no standardized training for nutritionists, and many nutritionist training programs are unregulated. Registered dietitians can provide preventative care and treat conditions like diabetes, eating disorders, gastrointestinal disorders, and many other medical conditions with medical nutrition therapy.
Most people get their sessions for free when they book with Fay. Without coverage, you could pay closer to $150 per session. To get more confidence about your coverage, you can check your price using our pricing tool.
