Our Approach
We’re in-network with major health insurances. The majority of our services is covered under insurance. There is no such thing as “one diet fits all”. Our approach to nutrition is individualized and catered to your unique or family needs. We take great pride in incorporating an understanding of patient’s culture to provide recommendations that are relevant and sustainable. In the field of dietetics, culturally appropriate nutrition therapy recommendations are essential.
The absence of cultural competence among dietitians may increase health inequities among diverse and marginalized communities.

What is a Registered Dietitian?
Sometimes it can be confusing to know what the difference is between a health coach, registered dietitian, or nutritionist. Let me explain!
Registered Dietitian’ is a protected term whereas ‘Nutritionist’ is not. Dietitians go through many years of rigorous scientific training, exams and supervised practical experience before adding ‘RD’ next to their name for the first time. Our coursework covers everything from biochemistry, pathophysiology, metabolism ,food safety and food systems management. Legally, only dietitians are able to provide medical nutrition therapy in a setting such as a hospital or medical clinic.
-
To become a registered dietitian, you must meet certain academic and professional requirements in order to sit for the exam to become credentialed. This includes:
-
A bachelor’s degree in nutrition from an academic program accredited by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND).
-
Completion of a post-bachelor’s supervised practice program at an accredited facility.
-
Pass a national exam administered by the Commission on Dietetics Registration.
-
After completion of the exam, RDs must then complete a certain number of continuing education hours to maintain
Nutritionists, on the other hand, aren’t bound to the same stringent standards. In fact, some self-proclaimed ‘Nutritionists’ have very little formal training in nutrition science or medical nutrition therapy.
