We start by feeding you with the respective food knowledge, create custom nutrition and wellness strategies that teach you how to eat and change your food behavior.

Recently, some progress as been made by the American Medical Association who passed CPT codes that have opened a path for Health and Wellness Coaching Services to be potentially covered by insurance.
However, at present, these codes are utilized by Medical Professionals submitting directly to insurance companies.
Some providers do allow for reimbursement of Health Coach services using FSA/HSA benefits. Please check with your provider or FSA “covered services” listing.

While all 3 health professions share the inherent goal of improved client health, the following areas also make them markedly different:
Nutritionists typically create specific, nutrition-based guidelines that may specify certain diets, meal plans and supplementation for the client to follow to target specific health issues or concerns. They also may utilize lab tests and other blood work to assess client’s overall nutritional profile to support their client’s desired health goals.
Dietitians typically provide nutrition therapy for specific medically diagnosed diseases, disorders and health conditions. Dietitians usually work in hospitals, nursing care facilities, clinics, and private practice. They create unique dietary plans for clients based on their medical needs.
Health and Wellness Coaches focus on client health through a holistic lens. They explore all aspects of a Client’s health and wellbeing to help the Client meet their lifestyle goals. Health Coaches empower their clients through knowledge, accountability, support, guide and facilitate behavioral changes for a positive, long term health outcomes.
