ACCESS FROM A DIETITIAN
NUTRITIONIST TO
GLP-1 & PEPTIDE THERAPY
Access to GLP-1 medications and peptide therapies has never been easier, but access to medication isn't the same as comprehensive, individualized care.
With countless online peptide providers promising quick results, we focus on what your body actually needs to thrive during treatment.
Our registered dietitians bring expertise in nutrition, holistic lifestyle changes, hormones, and are certified GLP-1 & Metabolic Health Specialists through the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM).
Our approach combines access to medical evaluation and prescribing when appropriate with personalized nutrition therapy and ongoing support to help you preserve muscle, minimize side effects, address nutritional needs, to build sustainable results.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Your journey doesn't begin with a prescription. It begins with understanding you.
STEP 01 — START WITH YOUR DIETITIAN
Meet with your registered dietitian for a comprehensive assessment of your health history, nutrition, lifestyle, and goals. Together, we'll establish the foundation for your personalized treatment plan.
This appointment lasts 60-90 minutes and is typically covered by insurance.
STEP 02 — EXPLORE YOUR TREATMENT OPTIONS
During your assessment, your dietitian will guide you through available therapies, costs, and next steps. A licensed medical provider will then evaluate your eligibility and determine whether prescribing is appropriate.
03 / BEGIN TREATMENT + ONGOING SUPPORT
If prescribed treatment, you'll continue working closely with your dietitian to optimize nutrition, preserve muscle, minimize side effects, and troubleshoot challenges as they arise.
04 / TRACK PROGRESS + BUILD LASTING RESULTS
Through regular follow-ups, we'll monitor your progress, adjust your nutrition strategies, and support your evolving goals. Ongoing dietitian visits are required for continued medication access through our program.
WHY WORK WITH A
DIETITIAN NUTRITIONIST FOR
GLP & PEPTIDE SUPPORT
GLP-1s and peptides can be powerful tools for metabolic health. But appetite suppression alone doesn't teach you how to nourish your body.
Our dietitians help you:
PRESERVE LEAN MUSCLE: Support muscle retention through individualized protein recommendations, adequate nourishment, and resistance training strategies.
MINIMIZE SIDE EFFECTS: Troubleshoot nausea, constipation, reflux, and changes in appetite with practical nutrition strategies tailored to your symptoms.
OPTIMIZE METABOLIC HEALTH: Address blood sugar regulation, insulin resistance, cholesterol, and other metabolic health markers through evidence-based medical nutrition therapy.
PREVENT NUTRITIONAL DEFICIENCIES: Make sure you're meeting your nutritional needs, even when your appetite and food intake change.
SUPPORT HORMONAL + WHOLE-BODY HEALTH: Explore how nutrition, sleep, stress, physical activity, and underlying health conditions influence your progress.
BUILD LASTING RESULTS: Develop sustainable habits that support your long-term health, whether you continue medication or eventually discontinue treatment under medical guidance.
Medication can help create change. Nutrition helps you build the foundation to support it.
Currently in-network with BCBS, United Healthcare, Aetna & Cigna. Most patients pay $0 out of pocket for working with a dietitian nutritionist for medical nutrition therapy.
INSURANCE AND ACCESSIBILITY
Many of our patients pay $0 out of pocket for medical nutrition therapy appointments.
That means you may be able to receive consistent, individualized nutrition counseling throughout your treatment.
Medication, prescribing services, and other treatments are separate from nutrition counseling and may involve additional costs.
We'll help you understand the process before you move forward.
WHAT MAKES OUR
FUNCTIONAL + INTEGRATIVE
APPROACH DIFFERENT
We take the time to actually look at you.
Your initial consultation is comprehensive, typically lasting 90–120 minutes. We review your health history, symptoms, nutrition, lifestyle, labs, medications, supplements, goals, and the things you've already tried.
Then we build a plan.
Depending on your needs, your care may include nutrition therapy, lifestyle recommendations, supplement recommendations, routine lab work, functional testing, and collaboration with your other healthcare providers.
Follow-up visits allow us to evaluate what's working, review results, adjust your recommendations, and continue digging deeper when necessary.
This isn't a protocol pulled off a shelf. It's individualized care built around your body, your data, and your actual life. You don't need another generic wellness plan, another drawer full of supplements, or another person telling you that everything looks "fine" when you don't feel fine.
Let's look at the whole picture.
We’ll help connect the dots, build a plan, and be the home base you've been looking for.
INTERESTED IN FUNCTIONAL
LAB TESTING?
Sometimes routine labs don't give us all the information we're looking for.
Our dietitians can help determine whether functional testing may be useful based on your symptoms, health history, and goals.
Interested in testing?
Tell us what you're looking for here.
Functional testing recommendations are individualized. Submitting this form does not mean a specific test will automatically be recommended or ordered. Our team will help determine the most appropriate next step for you.
All lab testing requests require an initial consultation with one of our registered dietitians. During this visit, we’ll review your health history, symptoms, goals, and current labs to determine whether the requested test is the best fit for you, or if another option may be more appropriate.
A follow-up consultation is also required to review your results, explain what they mean, and create a personalized plan based on your findings.
-
A functional and integrative registered dietitian looks at nutrition as one part of your larger health picture. We consider symptoms, health history, lifestyle, medications, supplements, labs, and nutrition together to develop individualized recommendations rather than focusing on one symptom in isolation.
-
Depending on the type of testing and where you live, our dietitians may be able to coordinate routine and functional lab testing as part of your nutrition care. We'll determine what testing is appropriate based on your individual needs.
-
Testing recommendations depend on your symptoms and goals. Functional testing may include more specialized evaluation of areas such as gut health, hormones, nutrient status, or other health markers when clinically appropriate. Start by submitting our functional lab testing request form or scheduling a consultation so we can determine what makes sense for you.
-
Yes. When appropriate, our dietitians can incorporate supplement recommendations into your care plan. Most intervention plans include a supplement protocol, along with medical nutrition therapy. We believe supplements should be purposeful and individualized rather than a substitute for understanding what's actually going on.
-
That's exactly when looking at the bigger picture can be helpful! Lab values are one piece of your health story. We also look at symptoms, trends, nutrition, lifestyle, health history, medications, and other factors to determine what deserves attention and what your next steps may be. If your labs are inconclusive, we’ll continue to be detective on your behalf until we figure out what’s going on.
