Don’t see your state on the list? Emmy is constantly updating her state licensure, so you may be eligible to work with Emmy soon or in the future. If you’d like to work with Emmy, reach out below to request that your state becomes eligible:
-
Yes! Emmy accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield Anthem and any FSA, HSA, or HRA.
While Real Good Nutrition may not participate with your insurance, Emmy can still provide you with the official documentation you need to seek reimbursement! This is called a Superbill, and you can ask Emmy for one anytime. For now, out-of-pocket payments are accepted via credit or debit card (which you will put on file to book your appointments).
-
Real Good Nutrition offers both in-person and virtual sessions.
In-person appointments are all held in Emmy’s office in downtown Madison at 211 S. Paterson St in Suite 354 (available by appointment only).
-
No! A defined medical diagnosis is not required to work with Emmy.
However, if you are planning on using insurance or would like Emmy to prepare a Superbill for you to give to your insurance, then documentation of the applicable diagnosis via the ICD-10 diagnostic code is required. But don’t worry, Emmy can walk you through getting this if you need help!

Officially from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (aka Registered Dietitian, RD, or RDN) is an expert in food and nutrition who has met the following academic and professional requirements:
Earned a Bachelor's degree with course work approved by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics' Accreditation Council for Education in Nutrition and Dietetics. Coursework includes: food and nutrition sciences, business, sociology, biochemistry, physiology, microbiology, and chemistry.
Completed an accredited, extensive supervised practice program with direct patient contact at a health care facility, community agency, or food service corporation (depending on the dietitian's interest and career goals).
Passed a rigorous national registration examination administered by the Commission on Dietetic Registration.
Completes continuing professional education requirements to maintain registration on an ongoing basis.
There is no difference between a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist and a Registered Dietitian. However, there is a difference between a Dietitian and Nutritionist.
While the title "Registered Dietitian" or "Registered Dietitian Nutritionist" is heavily regulated, there is very little regulation on using the term "nutritionist," "nutrition expert," "nutrition coach," "health coach," "wellness coach," and so on without any education or professional development requirements. While some states allow for the "certified or licensed nutritionist" title, only Registered Dietitians are allowed to practice medical nutrition therapy for acute and chronic diseases.
While many nutritionists are very knowledgeable, experienced, and capable, RDs and RDNs have met the most rigorous requirements and are the established experts in food and nutrition.
Every Registered Dietitian is a Nutritionist, but not every Nutritionist is a Registered Dietitian.
