One-on-One Care Experience
George T.
“I have had the pleasure to work with a couple of Registered Dietitians at Culina Health. They were all amazing in helping me stay accountable while really listening to what I had to say. I never knew I needed a cheerleader to help me reach my health goals but I’m at my goal weight, off medications, my doctor is thrilled, and I’m still going strong. Don’t wait, contact Culina Health. They will change your life.”
Carl W.
“My RD is very patient, kind, helpful and realistic. His approach is sustainable and makes me feel I can accomplish my goals in a realistic manner.”
Bonnie C.
"I have used Noom, Fitness Pal and many years ago, Weight Watchers. None of these gave guidance specific to my age, health conditions and food preferences. Melissa is wonderful at reminding me of the issues I bring up week to week, helping me to be realistic about what is sustainable and reminding me of what I am doing well. My recent labwork was significantly improved. My weight range is slowly changing and I have a handle on meeting my goals.”
Yasmin
“My dietitian Vivian S. truly listened to every word of my experience. I’ve never felt so heard. She changed my relationship with food and my perspective of life in general. I consider Culina to be the catalyst that launched me on a lifelong journey of taking better care of myself and building boundaries. I’m so grateful I was matched with Vivian and I carry her advice with me every day. I literally carry it in a little notebook. :) 10/10 experience! You’ll get as much out of it as you put into it.”
Astrid N.
“Alex was super professional, yet approachable. She listened carefully and I never felt rushed. She made me feel comfortable talking about my health and I didn’t feel judged or looked down upon.”
Liv W.
“I never imagined that a nutrition appointment could be so much fun! Haley made the process really easy and painless. She treated me with empathy and personalized care.”
Jin L.
“I am so excited after our first session. My RD is very knowledgeable but also doesn’t steer me towards any one solution. She’s open to listening. I love the holistic approach which is so different from the nutritionists I’ve had in the past. Culina Health has a great app to share my symptoms, food, and activities.”
Connie J.
“Noel, is very knowledgeable, personable, and compassionate. She asks all the right questions to develop a personalized nutrition plan, setting you up for success in accomplishing your goals.”
Kelani C.
“I started using Culina Health and have been working with Steven Ho since January and it has been such a great experience. He is kind, nonjudgmental, and so knowledgeable! I always look forward to our sessions and feel so supported on my wellness journey.”
Drew E.
“Hayley is helping to change the way I think about food, with a focus more on nutritional benefits and staying full rather than just what is "low cal." I really enjoy our sessions.”
Long-Term Weight Loss
Toya H.
Sara S.
“My RD has helped me healthfully and sustainably lose 7 pounds and 2% of my body fat. She has taught me so much about portion control and hidden calories that have hindered my progress in the past. I couldn’t recommend Culina Health more!”
Christa F.
"I met with Culina Health for weight management on the advice of my PCP. My RD has played a pivotal role in enlightening me about the significance of nutrition and its direct influence on my overall well-being, educating me and providing a sense of accountability. I wholeheartedly endorse my RD to anyone embarking on a weight loss journey or simply seeking deeper insights into the impact of food on our daily lives."
Jackie U.
“I’ve created an actual lifestyle where I regularly workout in a way that benefits me"Seeing my dietitian has honestly changed my life. Before working with her, I was about 20 lbs overweight and not getting nearly enough exercise. I'd spend time looking at before and after photos of others, wishing I could do the same. Working with my dietitian made it easy as it was not about overhauling my life, but about implementing subtle changes until I developed better, healthier habits.”
“I’ve had several appointments where doctors have encouraged me to consider weight loss surgery because of slow results. Nadine has consistently helped me make permanent sustainable changes. She’s always there to reassure me when I stumble upon a video of someone losing 20 lbs in a month 😩. I’ve tried all the wrong ways to lose weight and none of them help increase confidence in my abilities. But Nadine has taught me skills that have! My sessions with her have encouraged my 16 year old to take a Nutrition course at school. We now create balanced meals together.”
Amy G.
“I stopped 10 pounds and got my cholesterol back into well within normal range. But more importantly, I have changed my relationship with food. By eating this way I have eliminated the constant sugar cravings, especially during the dreaded 2pm slump. I feel so much better! It has motivated me to keep going. I feel like I have finally made a long term change.”
Relationship with Food
Allie S.
Sara S.
“The work really came from within myself. I kept thinking some light bulb would click and I would GET IT..! What I learned after weekly sessions is that there is nothing to actually get, but more things to release besides weight, like binging, dieting, body hatred, diet dialogue, food comparisons, resentment and so much more I didn’t even know were issues with food. I feel a bit more freedom and more at ease knowing I will never have to look outside myself for what to eat. I sleep great and exercise with happiness and excitement. My body feels good inside and out.”

“I lost almost 20lbs with Culina Health. I was at a healthy weight that I had never achieved before. I was also able to maintain that weight without depriving myself of anything. Culina Health has changed my entire mindset about what I eat on a daily basis. I went from avoiding so many foods and meals to eating balanced plates that were satisfying. It has helped me learn to be mindful and conscious of what I am eating while still giving me the tools to enjoy my favorite indulgences and I have developed a healthy relationship with food.”
Condition-Specific Support
Katie Z.
Amanda S.
“After a Type 2 Diabetes diagnosis, bypass surgery and the beginnings of kidney disease, it was time for my husband to overhaul his eating habits. His PCP suggested Culina Health. Our RD taught us that nothing is off the table, but that we need to make good choices and balance things out to avoid blood sugar spikes. Our RD is always prompt to reply to our questions, or she’ll add documents to our care plan for us to review. We feel like we’re our own little team, with her as our head coach. We’re fortunate that our insurance, Aetna, covers 10 sessions annually with a doctor’s referral!”
Allison S.
“The period following my Hashimoto's diagnosis was a difficult and confusing time, and seeing an RD was hands down the best decision I have made. My RD taught me to establish new routines that help me to feel my best while also tuning in to my body’s cues and needs. The level of care I have received is unmatched and I have shared that with everyone I know!”
“I was recommended to do the low FODMAP diet for 2 years to help me figure out my food sensitivities. It wasn’t until a doctor recommended Culina Health that I was able to actually have the tools to do this. My RD has been great about helping me navigate this restrictive diet to figure out my triggers. I feel so much better and so supported.”
Flexibility and Accessibility
Matt H.
Sara S.
“The online chat platform is super easy to use and makes scheduling seamless.”
Olivia
“I’m a busy mom, wife and senior manager who works from home so the set up of having virtual meetings working around my schedule has been key to my success with the program thus far. Last, it’s very easy to use with the app. Logging my food, water and metrics, along with activities, is pretty seamless. Most things link through my other apps and my Apple Health app so it’s very easy to keep my provider informed on my progress toward the goals we develop.”
"I was fortunate that the sessions were covered by my insurance, but after seeing results I probably would have paid out of pocket if that was what I had to do. I can’t say enough great things!”
Insurance Coverage
Matt H.
Toya H.
“I saw an ad on Instagram late one night and decided I’d give it a try. At the time, I had no idea that my insurance would cover 100% of my sessions. I’d created this internal narrative that having regular sessions with a dietitian was a luxury for the financially wealthy. In this case, ignorance was not bliss and I’m glad I now know better.”
