Does insurance cover nutritionist visits in California?


Most major insurance plans cover registered dietitian visits for medical conditions. In California, common providers like Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, and Humana typically include nutrition counseling as a covered benefit.


What you need for coverage:



  • A referral from your doctor (required by most plans)

  • A diagnosis code for a covered condition (diabetes, obesity with BMI >30, eating disorders, kidney disease, pregnancy-related nutrition, GI disorders, cardiovascular disease)

  • Appointments with a Registered Dietitian (RD/RDN), not just a 'nutritionist'

  • Some plans require in-network providers


Typical coverage:



  • 3-6 visits per year for most conditions

  • Up to 10 visits per year for diabetes

  • Unlimited visits for eating disorder treatment (with prior authorization)

  • Prenatal nutrition often covered as preventive care


Check with your insurance provider or ask your nutritionist's office to verify your specific coverage. Many dietitians will check benefits before your first appointment.


How much does a nutritionist cost in San Diego, CA?

Is a nutritionist worth the cost?


In a busy area like San Diego, the biggest benefit is personalized, medical-grade advice. You aren't just paying for meal plans—you're paying for a professional who understands your health conditions, reads your lab work, and creates strategies that work with your real life, not against it.


What credentials and qualifications should I look for?


A qualified nutrition professional should be a Registered Dietitian (RD) or Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN). These credentials require a bachelor's degree (minimum), supervised practice hours, passing a national exam, and ongoing continuing education. Look for additional certifications like CEDRD (eating disorders), CSSD (sports nutrition), CDE/CDCES (diabetes), or CSP (pediatrics) based on your needs. In California, verify state licensing requirements as well.


How to find an affordable nutritionist in San Diego


To keep costs down, check your insurance first—many plans now cover registered dietitian visits for conditions like diabetes, obesity, eating disorders, and kidney disease. If your plan doesn't cover nutrition counseling, ask about sliding scale fees, payment plans, or group nutrition classes. Virtual appointments are often more affordable than in-person sessions.

a professional

What do you love most about your job?

Seeing people get well. I have had the greatest joy seeing people overcome their emotional burdens. When we clear the underlying mental and emotional blocks / baggage, what is left is divine spirit. Joy, elation and happiness have been results of our sessions. This is truly a gift for all (client and me) involved!

What inspired you to start your own business?

I wanted to give the most professional, valuable services possible and be able to interact with my clients directly. I come from a long lineage of teachers and entrepreneurs. It came natural to me to be an owner, in charge of customer service and quality control.

Why should our clients choose you?

I have 23 years experience in the holistic industry. From years of being a full time bodyworker (sports injury and massage therapist) and Zen therapeutic yoga instructor, I know how the physical body responds to traumas, stress, toxins, beverages and foods. I am dedicated to helping people discover how to eradicate unnecessary stress from their lives. Life is too short to suffer needlessly. When we don't have tools, we often look for escapes that drive us into a downward spiral. Our tools get quick, positive, effective relief so our clients can move forward and succeed in the areas of life that have been unattainable thus far.

How important is a healthy diet to someone’s health and wellbeing?

For some people, diet is crucial to their well-being, others can get away with eating whatever they want. For people who want to feel better, finding the right recipe for that individual is a discovery we must make. Our founder, Kristin Wilhite has lived the path of a healer, through sickness and health, and found what works for her - nutrition, exercise, mindset, overcoming illness, depression, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. Her story and path will inspire you, her knowledge will give you confidence you too can and will change for the better. Healthy diet can bring about the ability to focus, mental stability, heal depression and diabetes, and overcome a multitude of mental and physical ailments.
