Can't find the right match?
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.
What to look for in a nutritionist that accepts Cigna
Proper qualifications
To get the best diet and nutrition advice, consider selecting a Registered Dietitian by looking for the title RD or RDN after their name. These licensed professionals have a Bachelor's degree in nutritional sciences at minimum and mandatory work experience before getting board-certified. Many even train further by specializing in eating disorders, diabetes, and even a Master’s degree.
Aligned specialties
If you have prediabetes or diabetes, a Registered Dietitian who specializes in these areas can be very helpful. Some RDs also focus on metabolic diseases, eating disorders, and other specialized conditions. Choosing an RD with expertise that matches your needs ensures you get targeted that could be more effective as you navigate your health journey.
In-network dietitian
Here's a little-known fact—most insurance companies cover dietitian sessions. If you have Cigna and see an in-network nutritionist, your sessions might even be free or just have a small copay around $10. This can be a huge relief as you work with a licensed dietitian to get healthier. With the right support, you can receive personalized nutrition advice to help you reach your goals.
Communication style
Will your dietitian consider your medical history and relationship with food before giving advice? Are they explaining science-based nutrition in a way that makes sense to you? During your first session, check if their communication style matches your needs. Feeling comfortable with your dietitian can help you stick to your nutrition plan, share any setbacks, and request changes if needed.

Weight loss, diabetes and heart friendly diets, and more with Cigna nutritionists
Lose weight
Losing weight can be frustrating. Advice from online sources or well-meaning friends and family can add to the confusion. Go keto, try the Blue Zone diet, eat once a day, cut out dairy or carbs—how do you know what's right for you? A Registered Dietitian can help you find the best diet for sustained weight loss, help you balance your meals, and support you through your journey.
Heart healthy
Every 34 seconds, someone dies from cardiovascular disease, according to the American Heart Association. A heart-healthy diet can help lower your risk by reducing cholesterol, managing blood pressure, and cutting down on sodium intake. A dietitian can create a personalized plan to fit your specific needs, making it easier to achieve these goals. Working with a dietitian gives you support tailored to your heart health.
Lower your A1c
Lowering your A1c levels reduces the risk of complications from diabetes, such as nerve damage, kidney disease, and heart problems. A nutritionist can help you achieve this by creating a personalized meal plan that focuses on balanced, blood sugar-friendly foods. They can also provide guidance on portion control, meal timing, and healthy lifestyle habits, and even support you long-term.
Eating disorder recovery
Nutrition plays an important role in eating disorder recovery by helping restore your body's health and balance. An expert dietitian can create a personalized plan to address nutritional deficiencies and encourage healthy eating habits. They work alongside mental health professionals to provide comprehensive support. With their guidance, you can rebuild a positive relationship with food and achieve a healthier, balanced lifestyle.
