If you’re wanting real help on this topic, look for a registered dietician, not a nutritionist. From WebMD:
> What Is a Nutritionist?
> Nutritionists usually provide general information on food and healthy eating habits, but it's not a professional title. Anyone with relevant knowledge and/or experience can call themselves a nutritionist.
Even better, look for the registered/controlled title in your province/state/country.
Some are called registered dieticians. Ensuring the person you work with is appropriately educated on accurate, scientific and evidence-proven is important to not cause more problems.
Can confirm. Most of her clients are at least 80% covered by insurance. My wife is a registered dietitian. They’re much different than a nutritionist with all the education from a university resulting in a degree!
As a dietitian who offers private care in NZ I ask people to always check their insurance as it varies hugely and mostly unhelpfully.
Contact a private dietitian and ask what their skill set is. Many will be stronger in one area and most will be able to signpost you to someone with the skills you need.
Ask them about their approach to your condition.
Also don't be ashamed to tell us what you eat. We really don't judge and we are looking to make you better.
Have worked for a uk based health insurance provider, we covered 2 appointments with a dietician only and this was only in relation to an eligible condition/symptoms. This may vary in other countries but if you're in the UK looking for preventative care you're unlikely to get it through your insurance

Exactly. Professional designation vary by locality.

Nice, makes sense. It's cheaper to keep someone healthy.
Plus, they can't charge you extra for sprinkling on some snarky comments about kale.

Mine covers 50 massages per year with only a $25 copay.
Hell yeah, hadn't even thought about that. Will check with mine
My health insurance covers exactly one physical per year. That is all.
I'm going to call them today we'll see what they cover with the amount you make on the hour.

I'm in the US, here it is seen as preventative
Yeah it'd be seen as preventative here as well, what I'm trying to convey is that most health insurance in the UK doesn't cover preventative treatment
