Registered Dietitian Serving Wayne, NJ
Finding the right nutrition advice can be difficult, especially when you are managing a medical condition, taking a weight-loss medication, preparing for bariatric surgery, or simply feeling unsure about what to eat.
RD Nutrition Counseling provides one-on-one nutrition counseling for adults, adolescents, and families in Wayne and the surrounding Northern New Jersey area. Our office is located nearby in Totowa, and virtual appointments are also available for patients throughout New Jersey.
During your visits, we will review your current eating habits, medical history, medications, laboratory results, food preferences, schedule, and personal goals. You will leave with clear and practical recommendations designed around your real life, not a restrictive or generic meal plan.
Many insurance plans cover nutrition counseling, and a referral is often not required.

Nutrition Counseling Services
Nutrition counseling should give you more than a list of foods to eat and avoid. Our goal is to help you understand how nutrition affects your health and create a plan that feels realistic enough to follow consistently.
​
Weight loss and weight management
Develop a structured eating plan that supports weight loss without relying on extreme diets, unnecessary food restrictions, or an all-or-nothing approach.
​
GLP-1 medication nutrition
Learn what and how much to eat while taking medications such as Ozempic, Wegovy, Zepbound, or Mounjaro. Counseling may address protein intake, nausea, constipation, reduced appetite, muscle preservation, and maintaining weight loss over time.
Diabetes and blood sugar management
Improve meal timing, carbohydrate balance, portion sizes, and food choices to support healthier blood sugar levels while still including foods you enjoy.
Bariatric surgery nutrition
Receive guidance before and after gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, or revision surgery, including meal progression, protein and fluid goals, vitamin supplementation, food tolerance, and long-term weight management.
Digestive health
Identify eating patterns that may contribute to reflux, bloating, constipation, diarrhea, IBS symptoms, food intolerances, or other digestive concerns.
Heart health and cholesterol management
Create a practical eating plan focused on improving LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure, fiber intake, and overall cardiovascular health.
Sports nutrition
Improve workout fueling, recovery, protein intake, hydration, body composition, and performance based on your training schedule and goals.
Recommendations are adjusted as your needs change, so you are not expected to completely overhaul your diet after one appointment.

At RD Nutrition Counseling, we help patients develop meal plans that support adequate protein intake, balanced nutrition, and sustainable weight loss while using GLP-1 medications.

Insurance Coverage for Nutrition Counseling
Nutrition counseling is covered by many health insurance plans, and some patients have little or no out-of-pocket cost. Coverage depends on your specific plan, diagnosis, and nutrition benefits.
RD Nutrition Counseling participates with several major insurance carriers. Before your first appointment, our office can help check whether your plan includes visits with a registered dietitian, whether a referral is required, and whether you have a copay, deductible, or visit limit.
Because benefits can vary even between plans offered by the same insurance company, coverage is verified individually rather than assumed.
