We accept major plans, including Blue Cross Blue Shield, United Healthcare, Aetna, WellPoint, and Mass General Brigham.

Referral is appropriate when patients with obesity or cardiometabolic conditions are not achieving expected improvements despite medical management and general lifestyle counseling.

Clinical indicators may include:

▸ Persistent weight gain or weight plateau
▸ Suboptimal glycemic control (elevated A1c or fasting glucose)
▸ Worsening lipid panels
▸ Central adiposity or metabolic syndrome
▸ Difficulty managing appetite, satiety, or cravings
▸ Initiation of GLP-1 therapy - requires structured nutrition oversight

Behavioral and psychosocial indicators are equally important. Referral is beneficial when patients:

▸ Express confusion about what or how to eat
▸ Struggle with consistency despite motivation
▸ Report emotional or stress-related eating
▸ Have difficulty translating general advice into structured habits
▸ Experience repeated cycles of dieting and weight regain
▸ Feel overwhelmed implementing necessary dietary changes


When progress stalls or behavior change is inconsistent, structured medical nutrition therapy provides the depth, accountability, and iterative adjustment needed to improve measurable metabolic outcomes.

We provide medical nutrition therapy for the following conditions:

▸ Overweight/Obesity
▸ Pre-diabetes
▸ Type 2 diabetes
▸ Metabolic syndrome
▸ Dyslipidemia/hyperlipidemia
▸ Heart disease
▸ MASLD
▸ PMOS
▸ Hypothyroidism
▸ Peri-menopause, menopause, post-menopause
▸ Hypertension

We also support clients seeking to optimize or transition to a plant-based, vegan, or vegetarian diet—or those simply looking to improve their nutrition to enhance longevity and overall health span.

Hygeia Wellness provides structured, medically aligned nutrition therapy rather than generalized diet advice or commercial weight loss programming. Care is individualized, evidence-based, and designed to complement medical management of obesity and cardiometabolic conditions.

Unlike many commercial programs that rely heavily on calorie restriction, meal replacements, or rigid templates, Hygeia addresses the underlying drivers of weight and metabolic dysfunction—such as emotional eating, stress, environmental factors, and metabolic adaptation. Short-term weight suppression without behavioral and metabolic intervention often leads to regain and progression of cardiometabolic disease; our approach prioritizes durable change.

We do not operate on a product-driven model. Patients are not pressured to purchase proprietary supplements, expensive testing, or unnecessary add-ons. Recommendations are clinically appropriate, guideline-based, and tailored to each patient’s presentation.

For patients utilizing pharmacotherapy, including GLP-1 receptor agonists, we provide structured nutrition oversight to preserve lean mass, optimize nutrient intake, manage side effects, and improve long-term maintenance outcomes.

Through consistent, hour-long telehealth follow-ups and measurable tracking, we focus on sustainable behavior modification and clinically meaningful improvements in weight and cardiometabolic markers.

We use a structured behavior change framework that integrates evidence-based nutrition therapy with behavioral science–driven strategies to create an individualized, sustainable plan. Care begins with weekly sessions for as long as clinically appropriate to build a strong foundation. Early habits are fragile, and without consistent sessions, momentum is easily lost—accountability is essential for establishing lasting change.

Nutrition therapy is inherently iterative; trial and adjustment are part of the process, and individual needs naturally evolve as life circumstances shift. Ongoing sessions allow us to continuously adapt the plan, troubleshoot challenges, and ensure it remains aligned with our patients goals, even as priorities, schedules, or health status change.

As confidence and independence grow, visit frequency gradually transitions to biweekly, then monthly, quarterly, or as-needed check-ins, preserving continuity of care while supporting long-term adherence, metabolic health, and sustainable outcomes.

Hygeia Wellness provides medical nutrition therapy for adults aged 18 and older.

All of our visits are 100% virtual using a HIPPA-compliant telehealth platform.
