A Registered Dietitian Nutritionist has the highest level of nutrition counseling. When you see a dietitian the last thing you will get is a one-size-fits all diet plan. Dietitians offer personally tailored health prescriptions. Dietitians are equipped to help you manage a chronic disease or figure out how to feed your picky eater. Dietitians believe and promote sustainable weight loss approaches that you and your family can stick with for the long haul.  Nutrition advice will always be based on the most current body of nutrition evidence, yet be packaged for you in a realistic and practical manner.

We accept credit cards, including HSA and FSA cards.

Every client follow up plan is personalized.  Some clients may need frequent visits in the beginning with less support as they adopt and maintain healthy habits.  Many clients receive the feedback and guidance in one session. The follow up frequency is a mutually agreed plan conducted with the client at the initial consultation.

Follow-up sessions include re-evaluation of nutrition plans, review of goals and strategies, evaluation of follow-up laboratory work (as needed), discussion of resources that help support goals (i.e. nutritional supplements, working with a therapist, books to read, etc).  Follow-up sessions may be conducted in person, via phone or email based on personal preference.

Initial consultations are 60 minutes.

Follow-up appointments are 30 minutes.

Appointments start on time. If you are late, you can use the remaining time of your appointment. You will be required to pay for the entire cost of the visit.

All appointment cancellations must be completed 24 hours in advance. Failure to cancel within 24 hours will still require half payment of the service.

All packages are non-refundable.

McDaniel Nutrition currently is in network with some Aetna and Cigna insurance plans. We also accept HSA or flex spending accounts for payment. We strongly recommend contacting your insurance prior to inquire about your nutrition service coverage. We require a credit card, insurance card, and all insurance information to be uploaded prior to services.

If you do not have insurance uploaded to our system prior to your appointment, we will not be able to submit a claim to your insurance.

If we do not accept your insurance, we have appointment packages available for purchase.

At your initial consultation, we’ll spend time listening closely to understand your unique health goals, concerns, and the deeper factors that shape your choices. Whether you’re managing a health condition like high cholesterol, diabetes, or simply looking to improve your well-being, our goal is to explore not just what you eat, but also the thoughts, emotions, and habits that influence your journey.

Together, we’ll create a personalized nutrition plan that aligns with your goals and respects your individual circumstances. We’ll also address any roadblocks—whether physical, emotional, or mental—that may be standing in the way of your progress.

Every session is uniquely tailored to you, ensuring that our approach supports both your nutrition needs and the broader factors influencing your health and relationship with food. This isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach—it’s about helping you make sustainable changes that work for you.

At McDaniel Nutrition, we believe the path to meaningful, lasting health transformation is built on a true partnership. We’re here to listen, understand your unique needs, and work alongside you toward your goals. Our approach is deeply collaborative and compassionate—one that’s as much about connecting with you as it is about nutrition.

We’re genuinely invested in your well-being, always taking the time to explore not just what you eat, but the underlying thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that shape your habits. Our team stays up to date on the latest nutrition research, continuously learning to provide you with the most current, evidence-based strategies that work for your life, your challenges, and your goals.

While anyone can call themselves a nutritionist, the registered dietitian (RD) or registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN) guarantees the highest level of education and training established by the Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics (ACEND). In addition to a bachelor’s degree, an RD/RDN must fulfill a specially designed, accredited nutrition curriculum, complete an extensive internship program supervised by facilities such as a clinical health care facility or community agency and pass a rigorous registration exam. Roughly half of all RDs/ RDNs hold graduate degrees and many have certifications in specialized fields, such as sports, pediatric or gerontological nutrition.

When you work with a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, you’re getting more than just a meal plan—you’re getting a partner. Dietitians have the highest level of training in nutrition counseling, but what really sets us apart is how we apply that knowledge in a way that’s personal, practical, and sustainable.

Whether you’re managing a chronic condition, navigating food sensitivities, feeding a picky eater, or working on your relationship with food and yourself—we meet you where you are. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all plans—we believe in listening closely, tailoring support to your life, and helping you build habits that actually stick.

And while our recommendations are grounded in the latest science, we translate that research into real-life strategies that work for you and your family.

Because good nutrition isn’t just about knowing what to do—it’s about feeling supported while you do it.

Every client’s follow-up plan is personalized. Some people benefit from more frequent support in the beginning, while others may space out sessions as healthy habits become more routine. We’ll work together during your initial consultation to find a rhythm that feels right for you.

Follow-up sessions are a chance to check in on progress, adjust your nutrition plan as needed, and explore what’s working—and what’s getting in the way. We might review goals, look at lab results, or talk through additional tools and resources that support your growth, such as supplements, helpful books, or referrals to other practitioners.

Sessions can take place in-person or virtually—whatever fits best with your life.

Appointments can be held in-person or virtually through our secure SimplePractice platform. You’re welcome to choose the option that works best for you.
