Embarking on a journey toward better health and well-being is a deeply personal and transformative process. For individuals living with a higher body weight, prioritizing a nutritionist or dietitian with experience in the Health At Every Size® (HAES) approach becomes crucial in addressing their unique needs and concerns. By choosing a HAES-informed nutritionist or dietitian, you can trust that they will provide compassionate, evidence-based guidance that goes beyond the outdated and often harmful weight-centric model.
A HAES nutritionist or dietitian understands that health is multifaceted and goes beyond numbers on a scale. They focus on empowering individuals to embrace a balanced, sustainable and enjoyable relationship with food and movement, while respecting body diversity. These professionals are skilled in addressing the challenges specific to higher weight individuals, such as weight stigma, body image concerns, and navigating the healthcare system. By choosing a nutritionist or dietitian who specializes in the HAES approach, you can confidently embark on your journey toward improved health and well-being.

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.
Board-certified registered dietitian nutritionists
Nutrition professionals come from a broad range of backgrounds, but registered dietitian nutritionists (RDs or RDNs) are the most qualified of the bunch. They have the most stringent education and clinical requirements, and only those who are board-certified and meet the requirements can use the title. With Fay’s network of RDNs, you know you’re getting the best nutrition care possible.
Proven results
Fay clients have rated their experience a 4.97 out of 5 stars, across 3,000+ reviews. But don’t just take our word for it – see for yourself what each dietitians’ clients have to say. This total transparency enables you to pick someone you feel aligned with and who has a proven track record.
Specialized care
The field of nutrition is vast. When it comes to personalized care, you want someone who specializes in your area of concern. With Fay, you can filter your search by specialty to find someone who focuses on diabetes treatment, weight loss, eating disorders, and other key areas.
Convenient virtual or in-person sessions
Finding a qualified provider you like is one thing – scheduling with them is another. With Fay, you can see which providers are available and whether they do in-person or virtual nutrition sessions. Working with an RD virtually opens up a world of possibilities and means you can work with a provider anywhere in the country, not just in New York.
The benefits of Fay dietitians in NYC
1:1 personalized approach
You’re a unique individual with unique needs – and your nutrition plan should reflect that. Your Fay dietitian will create a completely custom plan tailored to your health history and goals based on a thorough intake. No more cookie-cutter meal plans; with Fay, it’s all about you.
Expert nutrition services covered by your health insurance
Life in NYC is expensive. Fay makes dietitian services accessible by connecting you with an RD covered by your health insurance and billing directly on your behalf. This means you could pay as little as $0 per session with an expert nutrition provider.
Clinically proven methods to improve your relationship with food
You probably hear about new diets and trendy supplements every day. The world of nutrition is confusing because there is no singular way to be healthy. Your RD will help cut through the noise to create a simple approach based on evidence-based methods proven to improve your relationship with food, including getting out of the yo-yo diet cycle, leaving behind the diet mentality, and taking care of your top health concerns.
Your personal accountability partner
When you work with a dietitian, you’re never alone. Your Fay RD is there every step of the way to offer support and accountability as you make the necessary changes to meet your health goals. They can help educate you on key nutrition topics, offer resources like recipes or mindfulness exercises, and generally keep you on a steady path.
New York City: The city that never sleeps on the latest trend
Diabetes, heart disease & chronic disease management
Chronic disease is the leading cause of death for all racial and ethnic groups in NYC, including heart disease and diabetes. Black New Yorkers specifically have the highest number of deaths related to diabetes and heart disease. Diet plays a significant role in chronic disease management, and even the city itself recognizes this, vowing to decrease these deaths by 5% by 2030 by “[increasing] health care access, prevention activities and access to healthy foods.” With the guidance of a registered dietitian, you can see clinically significant improvements across key health metrics.
Realistic meal plans that fit your lifestyle
New Yorkers have access to some of the best food in the world, and dining out is an inherent part of the New York lifestyle. Whether you’re a foodie at heart or find it hard to quit takeout, your dietitian will work with you to create a realistic meal plan that fits your lifestyle instead of fighting it. You can find ways to meet your health goals while still enjoying life.
Navigating fitness & food trends
New York is a global tastemaker – with food and fitness alike. Fitness studio titans Peloton and Soul Cycle were both founded in NYC, as were Shake Shack and Dig (formerly Dig Inn). Seemingly every week there’s a new food spot or workout class to try. How are you supposed to find consistency? Your RD can help you navigate the world of fitness and food trends to cultivate a balanced approach that enables you to keep up with what you care about while still prioritizing your health goals.
