While many of my clients come to me hoping to lose weight, it is not the focus or goal of our sessions.  I help my clients create habits that are proven to promote long term health — that includes both mental and physical health — using the framework of intuitive eating. By adopting a healthy lifestyle, your body will find its natural healthy weight, one in which you are able to maintain easily without dieting or restriction.  To do this we focus on nourishing your body and mind through self-care practices, which includes choosing foods that help you feel your best, moving regularly, getting enough sleep, managing stress stress, and promoting a healthy mindset. 

 In our sessions, we will explore any desires for weight loss including where they stem from and how you feel losing weight will change your life. I help my clients develop a healthy relationship with both food and their bodies. Some people lose weight and others don’t. If you’ve been overeating for a period of time, eating to manage your emotions, or gone through a lifestyle change that led to unnatural weight gain, you may be above your natural healthy weight and lose some weight through our work together but it will not be the primary measure of success. 

I help many of my clients with meal planning and recipe curation. While I will not be sending you a weekly meal plan or telling you exactly what to eat every day, I will teach you the skill of developing a flexible meal plan that works best for your lifestyle and give you all the tools you need to do this long after we are done working together.  

Yes! Many of my clients follow vegetarian, vegan, or other special diets. I tailor all of my recommendations to the individual client and work with people with a variety of dietary needs and preferences. 

Sarah Gold Nutrition does not accept health insurance but can provide you with a medical receipt called a superbill to submit for reimbursement through your insurance company. If you have out of network benefits as part of health insurance, you may be able to be reimbursed for part of our fee. To determine whether your insurance will reimburse you, contact them directly and ask the following questions: 
Do I have out of network benefits to see a registered dietitian?
If yes, are there any specific diagnosis codes that are covered or not covered?
If yes, what percentage of the fee will you cover?
Do you require any specific paperwork other than a medical superbill for reimbursement?

You may be eligible to use your HSA or FSA funds for our sessions as well. Check with your individual FSA to determine coverage. If you are, a medical superbill should be sufficient for reimbursement.
