Everyone's journey is different, so your dietitian works with you 1 on 1 to provide a hyper-personalized plan
Have you tried (seemingly) every diet out there with limited success? Trying to beat prediabetes holistically? Worn out from life and know your diet could be better but don’t know where to start? Your dietitian will assess all this and more to craft a completely personalized approach for your treatment based on your goals, lifestyle, health history, motivators, and more. Fay dietitians use clinically proven methods to drive results, including goal setting, intuitive eating, nutrition education, lifestyle counseling, lab testing, and meal planning.
The world of nutrition is overwhelming. There’s so much information out there – but how can you know what’s right for you? The reality is: nutrition is complex and requires an expert’s guidance. Registered dietitians are the only nutrition professionals qualified to offer medical nutrition therapy (MNT). That means RDNs have a deep understanding of the chemical properties of food and how that interacts with one’s body on a cellular level to impact overall health. Instead of stressing out over the latest food trend, put your care in the hands of a dietitian and find ease in knowing you’re getting personalized, research-backed nutrition advice.
Ready to break free from the harsh voice in your head criticizing your every food choice? Whether weight loss is part of your goals or not, your dietitian can help calm the noise with a research-backed approach that addresses both the practical challenges of daily meals and the psychological factors of disordered eating. You can learn ways to manage your health and weight that go beyond the confines of a traditional “diet” by prioritizing balance and finding the right nutrition approach for you personally.
Accountability is a crucial factor in making any lifestyle change. Having a set weekly meeting with your dietitian – and knowing you have an expert on your side – can make a world of difference when it comes to sticking to your nutrition goals. You’ll have regular check-ins where you go over your progress and any challenges you’re facing, and together, you and your dietitian will make adjustments to account for your evolving needs. RDNs know as well as anyone that a successful plan is one that fits into your life, not works against it.
You have to make a lot of decisions every day, including what to eat. Meal planning removes the headache of that decision, and when it’s done in partnership with your dietitian, it’s that much easier to meet your goals without exhausting yourself in the process. All the hard work of figuring out how much to eat and when is already done for you – you just need to stick to the plan. Your RDN can provide meal ideas and recipes too, which can help boost adherence and make following your plan simpler and more enjoyable.
No matter why you’re getting a dietitian’s expertise, intuitive eating principles can help almost anyone cultivate a healthier relationship with food. Using behavioral psychology, intuitive eating emphasizes getting in touch with your body to better understand hunger and fullness cues, identify emotional eating, and remove any shame or guilt that might come up. With this psychological approach, your dietitian can help you calm the “food noise” in your mind to cultivate a sense of empowerment and joy in eating once again.
Meeting your nutrition goals is about more than just the food you eat. Your daily routine – activity level, sleep schedule, stress levels, work life, and environment – has a huge impact on your overall health. Your dietitian will create your personalized plan based on these factors and more. Taking this approach makes your plan more realistic, which makes achieving your goals easier. It also allows your RD to identify any potential challenges and craft a plan to overcome them.
Food can play an important role in managing chronic health conditions, but you need an expert to guide you. Fay has dietitians specializing in diabetes, IBS, PCOS, thyroid health, obesity, and more. These providers can collaborate directly with your broader care team to ensure your nutrition plan is aligned with your ongoing treatments. Your RDN can do more than just make a meal plan based on your goals and condition – they can also educate you on the key factors of eating for that condition, empowering you to continue the care for yourself.
Health is foundational to wellbeing. Fay dietitians are qualified to support weight loss, hormonal imbalances, chronic disease, and much more. Collaborating with an RDN greatly increases your chances of success in meeting your goals. Whatever your nutrition goals are, you can find a board-certified registered dietitian nutritionist specializing in that area with Fay.
Food is intrinsically linked to our health and wellbeing. People who worked with a dietitian through Fay made lifestyle changes that had immense benefit to their physical health.
Making lifestyle changes surrounding food and nutrition had benefits that went beyond the physical. Food and our relationship with it, has far reaching implications on our emotional and mental health.

By focusing on your whole body, Blue Cross Blue Shield dietitians work to create lasting wellness and a more balanced lifestyle.
Build a better relationship with food
Finding peace with your body and eating habits starts with developing a healthy relationship with food.

A Registered Dietitian can support you in creating a balanced approach, helping you begin to enjoy meals and social events without stress or shame.
Lose weight and get healthy with Blue Cross Blue Shield nutritionists
Lose weight; gain health
Do you feel like no matter what you do, that stubborn belly fat just won’t budge? Or maybe you cut back on food during the day, but carb or sugar cravings hit hard at night? It’s not just bad luck—our bodies resist weight loss when we make drastic diet changes. What makes it even tougher is that emotions often drive our food choices, especially when we’re tired, stressed, bored, sad, or seeking comfort. A Blue Cross Blue Shield nutritionist can help you lose weight in a steady, sustainable way to reach your health goals.
Fix your gut health
Digestive issues can stem from various factors like genetics, mental health conditions, poor nutrition, food allergies, or conditions such as IBS, acid reflux, Crohn’s disease, Celiac disease, ulcerative colitis, and gallstones. Bad gut health can lead to symptoms like chronic constipation, bloating, diarrhea, and fatigue, which cause a lot of stress. With conflicting diet advice online, it can be tough to know what’s the best diet for you. A Blue Cross Blue Shield nutritionist can provide a personalized plan to help you improve your gut health.
Lower blood sugar level
Lowering blood sugar levels is key to managing diabetes and preventing complications like nerve damage, vision loss, and kidney issues. Even if you're on diabetes medications like Ozempic or metformin, the right diet helps keep your blood sugar in check. A Blue Cross Blue Shield dietitian can offer personalized nutrition counseling to help manage insulin resistance-related conditions like type 1 and type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes, and PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome).
Reduce risk of heart attack and stroke
Every 33 seconds, someone dies from heart disease, and every 40 seconds, someone has a heart attack. High blood pressure, high cholesterol, and smoking are major risk factors, along with being overweight, having diabetes, and poor nutrition. Lowering salt, sugar, and processed food intake, and increasing whole foods in your diet, along with regular exercise, can improve heart health. A Registered Dietitian can create personalized diet plans, set realistic goals, and provide ongoing support to help you on your journey to better heart health.
