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.
Find a board-certified registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN)
Anyone in California can call themselves a nutritionist. Dietitian, in contrast, is a protected title – meaning only those who meet the criteria can use it. RDNs are the most qualified nutrition providers out there, having over 1,000 hours of training experience and being the only providers qualified to offer medical nutrition therapy (MNT).
Someone specializing in your health concern
The world of nutrition is broad – someone treating diabetes will eat differently from someone with high cholesterol. With Fay, you can easily find an RD specializing in your area of concern to provide research-backed strategies based on the latest research to achieve optimal outcomes.
Conveniently available, virtually or in person
Finding time to meet with another provider can be tough. Virtual dietitian sessions make this easy and open you up not just to dietitians in LA, but in the greater U.S., giving you access to a wider range of expert nutritionists with comprehensive specialties.
Evidence-based approach
When you put your care in the hands of a healthcare provider, you want to trust their approach. Fay’s Los Angeles RDNs follow the latest research and employ evidence-based practices to help with weight loss, your relationship with food, healing health conditions, and more.
What it’s like to work with a Fay dietitian in LA
A professional who “gets it”
Fay’s dietitians in LA are well-acquainted with the unique culture in this sprawling city. You’re often torn between a sedentary lifestyle stuck in your car and keeping up with friends going up Runyon Canyon on a Saturday morning. Your RD will be able to make a personalized plan based on your ideal lifestyle that accounts for all of this.
Sustainable weight loss
With so many different weight loss trends and treatments, it can feel impossible to know which approach is right for you. Put your care in the hands of a qualified dietitian for reassurance that you’re getting evidence-based advice tailored to your individual goals.
A custom regimen
How many hours should I sleep each night? How much should I be working out? Should I be prioritizing strength or cardio? Your RD can help you answer these questions and much more to find a custom regimen that works with your schedule and helps meet your goals.
Covered by insurance
With Fay, you can pay as little as $0 per session. How? Because Fay takes advantage of the little-used nutrition benefits that come with most health insurance to cover your dietitian services. All you have to do is input your plan information and pick from the providers who take your insurance. Fay bills directly to insurance so you don’t have to worry.
Los Angeles: Sunshine, burgers & wellness culture
Fighting chronic disease in Los Angeles
Over one-third of Black adults in Los Angeles County report being diagnosed with hypertension and 13.5% of Latinx adults are living with diabetes. Over 25% of all adults in LA County are nutritionally insecure. The wealth disparity and car-dependent nature of LA can make accessing both healthy food and quality healthcare difficult.
Navigating LA’s food scene
Angelenos love their food, from the latest restaurant opening to fan favorites like burritos and cheeseburgers. On the other hand, the city can feel health-obsessed with plenty of specialty diet restaurants and shops like Erewhon popping up everywhere. With so many choices, finding balance and sticking to your health goals can be difficult while still enjoying all that the city has to offer.
Finding balance in wellness culture
It’s no secret that LA can be health-obsessed to a fault. While striving for health is always a good thing, it can be problematic when it becomes obsessive. Find balance amongst this wellness culture by working with an RD to prioritize the foods and activities that you love and letting go of the must-try mentality.
