Nutrition Telehealth (Get Your Gut in Check)

Your digestive health starts with what’s on your plate, but when gut issues arise, knowing what to eat, what to avoid, and how to make food feel good again can be hard. That’s where nutrition telehealth comes in. At NYGA, our registered dietitians specialize in evidence-based gastrointestinal nutrition, and now, you can access their expertise from the comfort of your home.

What Is Nutrition Telehealth?

Nutrition telehealth is a virtual form of nutritional counseling delivered by licensed dietitians via video calls. These one-on-one appointments are just like in-person visits, except you can attend from your couch or office. You really can join from anywhere... well, almost anywhere. (Pro tip: please skip the moving vehicles. Trust us—it’s hard to talk fiber while you’re on a train losing signal in Nowheresville. And definitely no Zooming while driving!) Sessions are HIPAA-compliant, confidential, and tailored to your specific digestive health needs.

NYGA’s telehealth nutrition services are led by experienced dietitians who specialize in managing gastrointestinal conditions, including irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and food intolerances. Whether you're newly diagnosed or struggling to connect the dots between symptoms and diet, virtual nutrition care can help.

How Telehealth Supports Gut Health

Your diet plays a crucial role in the functioning of your digestive system. However, when symptoms such as bloating, gas, acid reflux, diarrhea, or constipation arise, sorting through nutrition advice on your own can feel overwhelming. Telehealth gives you direct access to expert guidance, so you’re not left guessing what’s triggering your symptoms.

With the help of a GI-focused dietitian, you’ll:

• Identify symptom triggers
• Navigate elimination diets safely
• Reintroduce foods strategically
• Balance nutrients for long-term gut health

From low-FODMAP protocols to fiber optimization and supplement strategies, our dietitians work with you to create a personalized plan that supports your body and fits your lifestyle.

Who Can Benefit from Nutrition Telehealth?

Nutrition telehealth is a great option for anyone looking to take a proactive, personalized approach to their digestive health. It’s especially helpful if you’re:

• Managing a chronic GI condition like IBS, Crohn’s disease, or GERD
• Struggling with food intolerances or persistent bloating
• Unsure what to eat after a new diagnosis
• Interested in trying an elimination diet (like low FODMAP) with professional guidance
• Looking for a long-term plan that supports gut function, energy, and symptom control

Even if you’ve tried dietary changes on your own, having expert support can make the process safer, more effective, and less stressful.

Nutrition Plans Tailored to Your Digestive Needs

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to gut health. Our dietitians take the time to understand your symptoms, lab results, lifestyle, and goals to create a personalized nutrition plan tailored to your needs. They will work with you to:

• Track symptoms and food patterns
• Create realistic, sustainable eating habits
• Make sense of conflicting advice and internet “hacks”
• Receive recipes, meal ideas, and nutrition education specific to your condition

Whether you’re navigating a flare-up, recovering from a procedure, or simply trying to feel better on a day-to-day basis, nutrition telehealth helps you create a personalized roadmap for lasting relief.

Is Nutrition Telehealth covered by insurance?

Many insurance plans will reimburse you for out-of-network nutrition telehealth services, including support for gastrointestinal conditions. Our office is happy to provide the necessary documentation to help you submit a claim for reimbursement. Coverage varies by plan, so we recommend checking with your insurance provider to understand your specific benefits and eligibility. Patients may be able to use their Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds to pay for eligible telehealth and dietitian services. If you have questions about coverage or how to get started, we’re here to help. Telehealth appointments are available in the following states: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington Washington, D.C., West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
