Information & FAQs

Coaching is not like the practice of medicine, psychotherapy, or other traditional modalities. For this reason, coaching is not covered by health insurance.  However, for certain conditions, such as Diabetes or Chronic Kidney Disease, some insurances do offer coverage when being coached by a Registered Dietitian.  Please note that we currently do not bill insurances directly.  We can generate a superbill for you to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement to you for our services.

None of our products, sessions, or services are able to be returned or refunded. This is the standard for online programs and healthcare services.

Functional Nutrition is about finding the right way for each of us as individuals to eat—using food to maximize the potential for health and reverse dysfunction or disease. There is no single “right diet” that applies to all of us. We have different genetic backgrounds, different preferences, and different lives. We all want to be healthy, but most of us haven’t figured out just how to make food and dietary patterns serve that goal. Functional Nutrition offers the concepts, strategies, and tools to make that happen!

• Behavioral Nutrition Coaching is also called Eating Psychology Coaching and Mind Body Eating Coaching, depending on the state’s legal requirements using the word Nutrition and/or Psychology.
• Behavioral Nutrition Coaching is an exciting and cutting-edge approach that effectively addresses weight concerns, binge eating, overeating, body image challenges, and various nutrition related health concerns. This approach is positive and empowering. We don’t see your eating challenges merely as a sign that “something is wrong with you” – but as a place where we can more fully explore some of the personal dimensions in life that impact food, weight and health.
• Oftentimes, our eating challenges are connected to work, money, relationship, family, intimacy, life stress and so much more. By working on the places that are most relevant for you, success is more easily achieved. Using this approach, we look to support you with coaching strategies and nutrition principles that are nourishing, doable, sustainable, and that yield results.

• Dynamic Eating Psychology is a positive, empowering and transformational approach that’s designed for anyone who eats. Each of us has a unique, fascinating, and everchanging relationship with food. Dynamic Eating Psychology affirms the primary importance of this relationship. It sees our challenges with eating, weight, and health not as an indication that we’re broken, but as a beautiful opportunity to grow and evolve.
• Previously, eating psychology has been limited to those with clinical eating disorders. Dynamic Eating Psychology though is for everyone. It affirms that our relationship with food has important lessons to teach us if we choose to listen. And it recognizes that our challenges with eating, weight, and health are intimately connected to other primary life dimensions – relationship, family, work, sexuality, our search for meaning and fulfillment, and so much more.
• Dynamic Eating Psychology is a powerful breakthrough approach that we utilize in our coaching sessions.

• Mind-Body Nutrition is a quickly growing new field that advances the practice of clinical nutrition by exploring the psychophysiology of how thoughts, feelings, and beliefs impact nutritional metabolism and health.
• Originated by Marc David, Founder of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating, it goes far beyond classical nutrition by focusing on the fascinating connections between brain, body, and behavior.
• Simply put, what we eat is only half of the story of good nutrition. The other half is who we are as eaters.
• Mind Body Nutrition reveals how stress physiology, the relaxation response, breathing, awareness, pleasure, meal timing and much more profound influence digestion and calorie burning. And it offers practical and results-oriented strategies for the most commonly seen eating challenges and health issues of our times.
