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.
Clinical experience in your area of expertise
When it comes to choosing a nutritionist, you want to look for someone with the registered dietitian nutritionist (RD or RDN) qualification. This is the highest level of certification for a nutrition provider and means they are board-certified by the Commission on Dietetic Registration. All of Fay’s nutritionists are RDNs with their own areas of expertise, meaning you can search through the database to find someone who specializes in your exact area of concern.
Proven reputation
Qualifications are important, but so is bedside manner. As you look through Fay’s data, you can also read through providers’ reviews to hear directly from their clients about their approach. This can help you find someone who has a compatible working style in addition to the right qualifications.
Flexible approach
Finding a qualified, compatible provider is one thing – finding the time to meet with them is another. With Fay, you can see which providers are accepting new patients and you have the option to meet with them either in-person or virtually. Virtual nutrition services opens you up to providers across the country, making it easy to find a dietitian who’s available now.
Covered by health insurance
At Fay, we believe cost shouldn’t be a barrier to excellent care and superior health outcomes. That’s why we take advantage of existing health insurance benefits to get your nutrition care covered. That means you could pay as little as $0 per session.

Being healthy in Baltimore
Over 30% of adults are obese in Baltimore County. Heart disease is the leading cause of death. There are significant care disparities amongst social classes, and finding quality care can be difficult, highlighting the importance for accessible nutrition care in the Charm City.
Baltimore bites
Baltimore residents love their crab dishes, from crab cakes to crab dips. You can’t go to any establishment without spying some Old Bay seasoning. Pit beef is also beloved in the Charm City, serving up their own take on barbecue.
The Charm City lifestyle
While Baltimore is a fantastic food city, the most popular dishes aren’t the most nutrient-dense. It can be difficult to stay healthy with so many tempting foods around. Your Fay dietitian can help you create a meal plan that supports your health goals while still leaving room for foods you love.
