Can't find the right match?
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 nutritionist that accepts United Healthcare
Affordability
Did you know that most insurance plans, including United Healthcare, cover visits to a Registered Dietitian? Many of Fay’s customers end up paying little to nothing for the nutritional guidance they need. This can save you money, reduce financial stress, and ensure you get the professional support needed for managing health conditions or losing weight.
Experience
Choosing a Registered Dietitian (RD or RDN) ensures you get a qualified professional with a bachelor's degree in nutritional sciences and substantial work experience. Unlike nutritionists, who may lack formal training, RDs are board-licensed and often hold additional certifications like diabetes education or a master's degree. They complete dietetic internships, gaining essential clinical experience and refining their skills. This extensive training ensures they can effectively meet your nutrition needs.
Specialty
If you have specific health concerns, finding a registered dietitian who specializes in that area is key. For example, some RDs focus on diabetes, heart health, anorexia, binge eating disorder, or weight gain. A specialist brings in-depth knowledge and experience, offering targeted and effective advice. They can create a personalized plan to meet your unique needs, making it easier to reach your health goals. Plus, their expertise helps you navigate any challenges along the way.
Success stories
Before selecting your dietitian nutritionist, review their success stories. These real-life examples show how they've helped others reach their health goals. Success stories give you insight into their communication style and effectiveness. Customer reviews can also highlight the nutritionist’s expertise and ability to manage different dietary needs and health concerns.
Benefits of working with a United Healthcare Nutritionist near you
A personalized approach
Everyone's body is different, so a one-size-fits-all plan often falls short. Personalized plans consider your lifestyle, preferences, medical history, nutritional deficiencies, and any other specific health concerns and goals you have. Fay’s United Healthcare nutritionists offer customized guidance and diet advice for improved health.
Meet online or in-person
Some people love the personal touch of in-person meetings, while others need the convenience of virtual sessions. Whether you prefer face-to-face chats or online consultations, Fay connects you with an in-network United Healthcare dietitian nutritionist in the way that works best for you. Enjoy flexible, personalized support tailored to your needs.
Holistic approach to health
Finding a dietitian who practices a holistic approach to nutrition is essential. They understand the mind-body connection and view food as medicine. This whole-body approach considers all aspects of your health—mental, physical, and emotional. Whether managing a chronic condition or seeking overall wellness, a holistic plan supports your entire well-being. Fay can connect you to an in-network United Healthcare nutritionist near you.
Improve relationship with food
Many factors can lead to an unhealthy relationship with food, from childhood habits to societal pressures. You might feel anxious or guilty about certain foods or struggle with cravings, overeating, or highly restrictive diets. If this sounds familiar, Fay’s Registered Dietitians can help you regain control and build a healthier relationship with food. They offer guidance tailored to your needs, making it easier to enjoy balanced eating.
Lose weight, and find the best diabetes or autoimmune diets with United Healthcare nutritionists
Weight loss
Ever notice how losing a few pounds can make your hunger and cravings spike? That’s because weight loss involves more than just willpower; it’s a complex process influenced by genetics, hormones, diet, and lifestyle. Even with a nutritious diet, gut health can affect nutrient absorption. A Registered Dietitian can help with a customized plan and ongoing support to achieve and sustain weight loss based on your personal needs.
Diabetes
Lowering your blood sugar levels takes time, especially with insulin resistance. Stress, lifestyle factors like smoking or drinking, a sedentary life, and some medications can complicate this process. With so much conflicting diet advice for diabetes, it can be hard to know what to choose. A dietitian nutritionist can help you cut through the noise with science-based solutions tailored to your health journey.
Autoimmune disease
If you have rheumatoid arthritis, PCOS, Celiac disease, or another autoimmune condition, you might be looking for symptom relief. While diet can't cure these conditions, the right nutritional plan can reduce inflammation and ease symptoms. With so much information online, it can be tough to find what works for you. A Registered Dietitian can create a personalized plan to help you find the right autoimmune diet for your needs.
Eating disorders
Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions that lead to abnormal eating patterns, such as binge eating, severe food restriction, or unhealthy compensatory behaviors like excessive exercise. These disorders can feel isolating and overwhelming, affecting both physical and mental health. If you or a loved one is struggling with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, ARFID, or another eating disorder, there is hope. Along with counseling, a Registered Dietitian specializing in eating disorders can help improve your relationship with food and address nutritional deficiencies.
