Dawn C. says, "In 2017, facing a critical health check-up that revealed a weight of 269 pounds, alarmingly high blood pressure, and a looming diabetes diagnosis, I made a pivotal decision. This moment marked the beginning of a transformative journey, not just for my physical health but for my overall well-being. Guided by my Certified Holistic Nutritionist, Malika, I embraced a holistic health approach. Together, we shifted my diet to focus on whole food, plant-based nutrition, complemented by herbal teas and essential nutritional supplements. This dietary transformation played a significant role in my health journey. Mindfulness also became a key element of my daily life. I dedicated time each day for prayer and meditation, practices that grounded me and provided mental and emotional balance amidst the physical changes I was experiencing. On the physical front, I committed to a consistent exercise regimen, working out 4-5 days per week for 30 minutes each session. This routine included a mix of High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), cardio exercises, and light weightlifting – a balanced approach to building strength, endurance, and overall fitness. Today, as I reflect on this journey from a standpoint of having lost 109 pounds and now weighing 160 pounds, I realize that it was about more than weight loss. It was about adopting a lifestyle that nurtures both the body and the mind, leading to a more fulfilled and healthier existence. This transformation has inspired me to share my experience and knowledge with others, helping them achieve their own health and wellness goals through my meal prepping company and mentorship program."See more

Q & A

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thumbtack.

Are nutritionists covered by health insurance?

Nutrition counseling can be a critical component of good health care, especially for people recently diagnosed with diabetes or high cholesterol who need to adhere to a specific diet. People also meet with nutritionists for help developing a healthy vegetarian or vegan diet, developing an eating plan to lose weight or gain muscle, or improving their sports performance by changing their diet. Nutritionists may be covered by health insurance depending on your reason for meeting with them. Nutrition counseling is more likely to be covered if it is part of a doctor-prescribed treatment for a particular medical condition, such as diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure or coronary heart disease. For example, Medicare covers medical nutrition therapy services only for people diagnosed with diabetes or kidney disease, as long as they get a referral from their doctor. Also, insurance providers more often cover nutrition visits if the patient has been referred to a registered dietitian within the carrier’s network of providers. Insurance plans vary greatly, so research your benefits before visiting a nutritionist.

How much does a nutritionist cost?

A nutritionist provides expertise and guidance to help clients with all diet-related health matters, including losing weight, gaining muscle, improving their sports performance, and managing diabetes or high cholesterol. Nutritionists can help people learn to follow special diets in a healthy way, such as becoming vegetarian or vegan or developing a low-sodium or gluten-free eating plan. The average national cost of a nutritionist is $60 to $100. Nutritionists often require an initial consultation with a new client, during which they’ll take a medical history, assess the client’s nutritional needs, and determine the best course of action; this first meeting usually averages $100-$120 for a 45-minute to 90-minute consultation. Subsequent nutritional counseling sessions generally cost less, ranging from an average of $45 for a half-hour session to $60-$90 for a one-hour session. Like many professional service providers, nutritionists may offer discounts through package pricing. For instance, a one-month package with two sessions and email support costs an average of $190; a three-month package with three sessions and email support costs an average of $360; and a six-month package with six sessions and email support costs an average of $540.
