Real talk: as moms, we spend so much energy thinking about movement, steps, workouts, “getting back in shape”…
But nutrition is the part that quietly runs the whole show. It’s like 80% of it.
It’s also the part that’s hardest to figure out when you’re tired, busy, and feeding everyone else first.
That’s why this resource caught my attention:
Fay helps you find a registered dietitian who takes your insurance.
You can meet virtually or in-person.
And you can check your cost up front, often as low as $0 per session with insurance.

Why this feels like a no-brainer for moms
You don’t need more info. You need a plan.
Most of us already know what we “should” do. That’s not the problem.
I swear I’m sharing avocado with my baby, not eating with a baby soon. 😂
The problem is:
making food work in real life
staying consistent
not giving up after 4 days
having someone help you adjust when life gets messy
This is 1-on-1 support that’s actually customized to you.
Meal planning, journaling, goal tracking, accountability… whatever helps you stay on track.
It can be an unused insurance benefit
A lot of insurance plans cover nutrition counseling, but most people never use it.
So if you’ve ever thought, “I’d love to talk to someone, but it’s too expensive”… you’re probably be closer than you think.
How it works (simple)
Find a dietitian who matches your needs (weight goals, postpartum, gut health, picky eating household, etc.)
Meet virtually from your couch or in-person
Insurance is billed after your appointment, so you’re not stuck doing a bunch of annoying admin
Some plans even include ongoing support like accountability tools and messaging, which honestly is what most of us need more than “tips.”
The money part (because it matters)
A nutrition session can cost up to $150 without insurance.
But if you book through this and your plan covers it, you’re often paying closer to $10, and for a lot of people it’s free.
So if you have insurance and you’ve been wanting to make a change… it’s worth checking.
If you’re on the fence
If you’ve been feeling stuck, tired, or like you’re constantly starting over with food…
Just give it a shot.
Best case: you get a plan + accountability for little to nothing.
Worst case: you see the cost and move on. No harm.
