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 an Ozempic nutritionist
Board-certified registered dietitian
It’s important to check that a nutritionist is a registered dietitian nutritionist (RD or RDN). This means that the provider has passed the rigorous qualifications required to use the title. Someone who calls themselves a nutritionist without this title is likely less qualified.
Expertise in weight loss and diabetes
If you are using Ozempic or another GLP-1 for diabetes treatment, weight loss, or both, it's best to work with a dietitian specializing in these areas. Diabetes requires careful treatment and working with these drugs requires special consideration.
Comprehensive approach
Weight loss is about so much more than just the food you eat, and when weight loss drugs are part of the equation, there are additional factors to consider. Your dietitian will need to work directly with your healthcare provider, and any other relevant care team members, to ensure your treatment approach is comprehensive. You can ask about how this will work during your initial consultation.
Covered by health insurance
Nutrition counseling is covered by health insurance. Getting your care covered makes this treatment far more affordable. Be sure to check that your dietitian accepts health insurance. With Fay, all providers are covered.

Common challenges while taking Ozempic and other GLP-1 supplements
Changing appetite
You will likely find your appetite changes while on GLP-1s. This can be confusing to navigate. How much should you be eating? What if you’re never hungry? A dietitian can help answer these questions and more, ensuring you’re eating the right amount to meet your goals and maintain your health.
Knowing what to eat
When you don’t feel hungry or your taste buds are different, it can feel impossible to know what to eat. Working with a dietitian helps cut through the noise to find the right solution for you based on your individual side effects and preferences. Your dietitian can provide nutritious meal ideas and recipes that keep you satisfied as you work toward your goals.
Combating side effects
Dealing with nausea and other GI issues can feel uncomfortable, and everyone experiences GLP-1 side effects differently. Working with a registered dietitian is the best way to navigate these unpredictable issues and can help you find balance faster than if you tried to handle it all on your own.
Achieving sustainable results
While most people go on GLP-1s for weight loss, rapid weight loss is often unsustainable, and it’s possible to gain weight back after stopping the medication. To combat this, work with a dietitian who can ensure your results are sustainable and long-lasting by overseeing your intake both on and off the medication.
