Do you take insurance?
No. Like Lasik and braces, I am an out-of-pocket health investment. But, with better dividends in my opinion!
Do you accept HSA and FSA funds?
Yes, I am authorized to accept HSA and FSA funds.
Do you accept Care Credit?
No, but I am an authorized medical provider with Advance Care Card. It’s the quickest and easiest way to pay for medical procedures and treatments not covered by your health insurance. They offer 0% financing for 14 months and you receive your card within four days. Learn more at www.AdvanceCareCard.com.
Do you offer food sensitivity testing?
No. Food sensitivities are just a symptom of an unhealthy gut and inflammation. Work on that, and you’ll be able to enjoy a wide variety of foods. In my experience, food sensitivity tests have become a confusing distraction and often result in unnecessary restriction. They might help in the short-term, but rarely help in the long-term.
Do I have to be in Maryland to work with you?
I have a hybrid practice. 50% of my clients are local and meet in my Frederick office, and the other half are from all over the country – and even some international! My client portal software has video capabilities and is HIPAA compliant.
Do you work with men and children?
Men, yes. Children and teens, no.
I don’t see any availability for a free information call. Am I doing something wrong?
That just means I’m not taking on new clients at this time. Check back in a few days. I only list the next two weeks of my availability. My schedule will ebb and flow with reschedules and cancellations. Or get on my waitlist by emailing Nicole at WholeHealthRD dot com with the subject line Waitlist.
What is a registered dietitian vs. a nutritionist?
Anyone can call themselves a nutritionist. A registered dietitian must have completed a minimum of a Bachelor’s degree (as of January 2024 it will be a Master’s degree) with specific accredited course work. A registered dietitian then completes supervised practiced hours, sits for a national exam, and keeps up with continuing education requirements. Registered dietitians can be licensed in some states, including Maryland.
