Overcome your gut health challenges
Gut health can be impacted by a number of factors, including stress, poor health, antibiotics, and inadequate diet. This can lead to:
- Gas and bloating
- Constipation
- Pain and discomfort
- Diarrhea
Any sort of gut imbalance can be referred to as gut dysbiosis until a more precise diagnosis is given.
Improve your gut health with personalized support
Your Fay dietitian can work directly with the rest of your care team to design a completely custom meal plan to overcome your gut health challenges. Most cases of gut dysbiosis require a multi-faceted approach and having smart, collaborative providers can make a world of difference.
Your Fay dietitian will offer:
- Education and support tailored to your symptoms and lifestyle
- Accountability
- Custom meal plans
- Intuitive eating exercises
- In-person or video calls
- Access to 24/7 chat for extra support
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 gut health nutritionist
Gut microbiome expertise
The gut microbiome is a complex environment we are only just beginning to understand. Working with a gut specialist can make a huge difference in your quality of treatment. Choose a registered dietitian specializing in gut health to ensure you are getting the best care and optimal outcomes.
Proper qualifications
It’s important to check nutrition providers’ qualifications. Registered dietitian nutritionists (RDs or RDNs) are the most qualified nutrition providers, and only those that meet the criteria can claim the title. Nutritionists without the RDN title are less regulated and may have far less experience.
Virtual and in-person consultations
Adding in another provider to your schedule can be difficult. Finding a nutritionist who accepts virtual appointments can make it much easier to get the care you need in a way that works for you.
Positive reviews
On top of checking a provider’s qualifications, you’ll want to read through their reviews to see what their clients think. Are they empathetic and caring? Have they successfully helped others struggling with gut health? All Fay providers have transparent reviews on their profiles so you can feel good about your choice.

Offers support & accountability
When you work with a Fay dietitian, you get a gut health expert and an accountability partner all in one. Your dietitian will use your weekly check-ins to talk through your progress and help work through any roadblocks you might be experiencing. This kind of accountability is exactly what you need for long-term success.
Holistic approach
Fay gut health dietitians are well-versed in collaborating with gastroenterologists and other medical professionals to design a holistic plan to your gut health treatment. This well-rounded approach ensures higher quality, longer-lasting outcomes
A bad gut feeling: the challenges of poor gut health
Finding true pain relief
Poor gut health isn’t just about a dysfunctional microbiome. It often comes with brutal side effects, including chronic pain. Your Fay dietitian will work with you to find lasting pain relief to help you regain freedom.
The mental component
The mental component of gut dysbiosis can be just as painful as the physical symptoms. It can be challenging to face continuous hurdles in trying to improve your gut health. Your Fay dietitian will support you every step of the way as you find solutions together.
Fearing flare-ups
Another piece of the mental gut health puzzle is the fear of flare-ups. It can cause you to become fearful of events, not knowing if you might need to dash to a bathroom or if a flare-up will ruin a special moment. There are therapeutic interventions that can help with this side of dysbiosis.
Restricted diet
You might feel beholden to a limited diet, sticking only to “safe foods” you know won’t exacerbate symptoms. Your Fay dietitian can design a careful approach to test different foods to give you greater food freedom and restore microbial harmony in your gut.
