Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes! If services are eligible for insurance coverage, BBSN is in network with several major insurers. If it’s determined (based on your application and/or discovery call) that your plan will cover your sessions, your insurance will be billed or you can receive a superbill if out-of-network.
Sessions only are covered and for a 4 month package, typical responsibility for the non-session portion of the package is $400. This can be paid up front or divided into payments.
Fueling Audits are not eligible for insurance as they are not Medical Nutrition Therapy
-
Despite what you may see on other sites, insurance coverage for nutrition counseling is based on medical necessity. While some insurance plans will have preventative benefits, this is based on whether the individual meets specific criteria as outlined in the plan. Sports nutrition may overlap with other conditions such as eating disorders, in which case it will be covered by insurance. By itself, sports nutrition is not typically covered by insurance.
-
If you opt for a single session (fueling audit), we may focus on a single problem, review your typical eating, or discuss educational aspects of fueling.
Working together as part of the Build Program 4 month intensive means that we will go more in depth into things like your diet history, medical history and concerns, and unpack some of your “story” around nutrition, exercise, and body image. Many athletes want to focus on a single area or multiple areas.
-
It depends on the type and amount of support you need in this season.
More intensive, clinical support as what can be needed as you are early in recovery is a better fit for Recover.
If your eating is more stable and you can benefit from less frequent, face-to-face meetings, Build is the best choice.
-
Build Intensives: The application process helps make sure that I can help you with what you’re looking for and it helps with scheduling and figuring out if your sessions may be covered by insurance.
Once your application is reviewed, I’ll reach out to schedule a discovery call or your first session, usually within 1-2 weeks.
A discovery call is a meet-and-greet where we can talk about how to best meet your goals and what working together looks like.
For Fueling Audits: because this is a focused, individualized service, the application helps me understand what you're looking for and determine whether the Fueling Audit is the right fit. If I have questions before we move forward, I'll reach out by email.
-
I work with active individuals and those interested in working on their relationship to movement, even if you’re not in a sport!
I have worked with athletes of all backgrounds from rugby to olympic weightlifting to endurance sports.
-
Many athletes complete the 4 month intensive and opt to continue to work together as they may have additional goals or need support through life transitions.
Continuation may mean meeting less frequently or keeping the check-in and messaging aspect of the program going so you have a dietitian in your back pocket.
-
Absolutely. Build offers wraparound support and session frequency that works very well for athletes who are injured or in the rehab process. I can also work with your return-to-sport professionals to help fuel your rehab and increasing training demands.
Build is for You if You Want to….
Dig deep into your values and do what matters, even if it’s uncomfortable
Build a nutrition foundation that supports training, recovery, adaptation, health, and performance.Become more confident, not more controlled.
Move away from rigid rules, food guilt, and constant second-guessing and toward making informed nutrition decisions with greater confidence.Learn to relate to yourself more kindly.
You realize that beating yourself up hasn’t actually worked and are looking for a different way of being with yourself, even if it doesn’t feel natural at first.Treat recovery as part of training.
Learn how nutrition, rest, and recovery support the adaptations you're actually training for.Develop flexibility as a performance skill.
Build strategies that work when your schedule changes, you're traveling, you're stressed, your training shifts, or the perfect plan goes out the window.Get curious about your nutrition habits
Learn to treat unexpected outcomes, missed meals, low-energy days, and challenges as information to work with rather than evidence that you've failed.Build skills that last beyond this season.
Develop a flexible nutrition foundation you can carry through changing training demands, different stages of life, and whatever comes next.
Build May Not be for You if Want…
A meal plan or set of nutrition rules to follow forever.
Structure and support can be helpful, but over time, athletes within Build will develop the skills and confidence to make decisions without a prescription.Weight loss or body-composition manipulation as the primary goal.
Build focuses on fueling your body's capacity and capability, not making your body smaller. If you're a weight-class athlete, however, that doesn't mean you can't work with me. We can address the unique nutrition demands of your sport while prioritizing adequate fueling, performance, recovery, and long-term health.A quick fix or optimization hack.
We're going to establish the foundation before chasing supplements, timing, or marginal gains. Adequacy comes before optimization.More control around food.
If you're looking for stricter rules, increased restriction, or strategies to override hunger and other body signals, Build isn't designed for that.Eating disorder treatment or intensive clinical support.
Athletes experiencing an eating disorder or significant disordered eating may need a higher level of individualized care and flexibility than Build provides. Recover is designed for that work.
