Our Registered Dietitian Nutritionists are certified experts in nutrition, including how to lose weight and keep it off.
Sure, extreme and restrictive diets can lead to rapid weight loss or relief from chronic symptoms, but that usually means the weight or symptoms come back just as quickly. Our Dietitians can help you make lasting changes safely and sustainably.
We only use evidence-based methods to help you get healthy, avoiding dangerous fad diets and or “miracle” supplements.
Many people looking to work with a dietitian or nutritionist also have chronic illnesses like cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, or high cholesterol. We can deliver nutrition advice and guidance specific to your health conditions.
Our dietitians can offer regular check-ins and support if you desire, helping to keep you on track with your goals.
No matter what your current diet or health status is, our Dietitians will never judge you. Instead, we will meet you where you’re at and take a compassionate approach to help you lose weight.

Frequently Asked Questions
Registered Dietitians (RDs), also known as Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs), are highly trained and certified experts in nutrition. The team of RDs at The Nutrition Insider have completed degrees in nutrition, including classes in biochemistry, biology, organic chemistry, anatomy, physiology, culinary science, nutrition counseling, and more. Registered Dietitians must receive national and state licensure through board exams, complete over 1,000 hours of clinical training in a dietetic internship, and maintain ongoing continuing education.
Registered Dietitians are nutrition experts who help you with a variety of concerns using evidence-based information tailored to your specific needs. Some areas that a Registered Dietitian can help with include weight loss, gut health, chronic disease management (like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, or high blood pressure), disease prevention, healthy aging, skin health, inflammation, or specialized diets. Essentially, dietitians have the education and experience to help you reach your health goals.
Yes, Registered Dietitians (RDs or RDNs) are different than nutritionists. RDs have completed degrees in nutrition, including classes in biochemistry, biology, organic chemistry, anatomy, physiology, culinary science, nutrition counseling, and more. Registered Dietitians must receive national and state licensure through board exams, complete over 1,000 hours of clinical training in a dietetic internship, and maintain ongoing continuing education. Conversely, the terms “nutritionist” or “health coach” are not regulated or standardized—anyone can call themselves a nutritionist without undergoing certifications, designated coursework, and passing exams. While this doesn’t necessarily mean that nutritionists and health coaches are not knowledgeable about nutrition, these professions do not undergo the same rigorous and qualifying standards for education, clinical training, or licensure as RDs.
First consultations with an RD are 45 minutes, with a comprehensive assessment of your current health status and goals, eating and lifestyle habits, and roadblocks you have. By the end of the session, you’ll have established realistic and achievable health goals together. Follow-up appointments may be 30-60 minutes long, depending on your preferences.
The number of appointments you need depends on your health goals, current habits, and the level of support you prefer. Most people would benefit from more than one session, as multiple sessions can help with monitoring and re-assessing health goals. Multiple sessions (3 to 5) are ideal for people who need help with gradual habit changes, weight loss, digestion issues, or chronic disease support, as follow-ups can help to track progress and adjust your plan. Some people may want on-going support (such as recurring monthly or bi-monthly appointments) to stay on track with their health goals.
Yes, dietitians can definitely help with weight loss. RDs can help with weight loss by using their knowledge of metabolism, nutrition science, blood sugar management, goal setting, behavior change strategies, sustainable eating habits, portion control, and mindful eating.
