BEYOND THE SCALE
Society tells us that we need to be hyper-focused on numbers, thinness ideals and “healthy” eating, but there’s a discrepancy among our health professionals as to just what “healthy” eating means. For those of us who are anti-diet, non-weight based clinicians, we know that eating “healthy” means eating a variety of food types that provide both a variety of nutrients as well as satiety and joy. We also value the other ways in which we can monitor our health, such as blood work and maintenance of vitals. We do not label foods into categories such as “good” or “bad foods.” Weight does not define our worth and following our body's regulatory cues, such as hunger and satiety, offers far more in the way of reduced stress, body satisfaction and improved cellular function. In addition to being dietitians, we are also human. We sometimes struggle to find times to make sit down dinners, eat on the go and parent like so many other parents. So know that it’s okay to tell the folk(x)s at Root Nutrition Group what you’re really eating. I can guarantee you, we’re often eating it too, not feeling guilty about and wanting to help you achieve the same inner peace.
PRICING
Medical Nutrition Counseling is not a one-size-fits-all approach to health and wellness. Some individuals will require longer care/more sessions than others, and that’s okay. It can, however, be stressful for our clients and their caretakers to manage co pays, deductibles and private pay options and so we offer you the specific dialogue that you’ll need to find out what will and wont be covered by your insurance while visiting us. This will aid in helping you determine if we are the right fit for you, or your loved one. If you are interested in this, please feel free to use the contact us form to inquire.
We ARE accepting new clients at this time and currently have afternoon availability. We accept BCBS of MA, BCBCS Blue card, Tufts Health Plan, and Harvard Pilgrim Health care. We also accept Private pay clients with payment options of Visa, MC, Amex, Discover, FSA, HSA, Cash and Check. Both insurance companies and Private pay clients have the option to pay with a prompt pay discount on the day the services are rendered.
We are no longer accepting Cigna insurance and apologize for the inconvenience.
