Frequently Asked Questions

Let me guess. You're exhausted in a way that a good night's sleep doesn't fix. You've been told your labs are fine. You've tried cutting gluten, adding the magnesium, maybe even the adaptogen powder that costs $60 and tastes like actual dirt. And you still don't feel good.

Here's what we want you to know: there is a reason you feel this way. Your body is not broken and you are not crazy. You just haven't had someone look at the full picture yet.

That's what we do at Chews Food Wisely. We work with women dealing with Hashimoto's, PCOS, thyroid issues, hormonal chaos, stubborn weight, exhaustion, and everything in between — and we build a realistic, personalized plan that finally explains what's actually going on. No guessing. No restriction. Just answers.

Application

We help you figure out what your body has been trying to tell you — and then build a clear, realistic plan around that. If you're living with Hashimoto's, PCOS, a thyroid disorder, high cholesterol, blood sugar issues, or weight loss resistance, you already know that generic advice doesn't cut it. Your body has specific needs, and food is one of the most powerful tools you have to support it every single day.

We look at how you're eating, how often, how balanced your meals are, and how all of that connects to your energy, digestion, hormones, and mood. Then we show you how to build meals and routines that actually work with your biology, not against it.

As functional dietitians, we use nutritional biochemistry and functional lab interpretation to build long-term plans that feel doable. Because a plan you can't stick to isn't actually a plan.

We work best with women between 25 and 65 who are done guessing and ready to get real answers. If you're dealing with low energy, stubborn bloat, brain fog, weight that won't budge, painful or irregular periods, stubborn acne, or a diagnosis like Hashimoto's, PCOS, thyroid disease, high cholesterol, or insulin resistance — and you've tried the diets and the supplements and still feel stuck — you're exactly who we had in mind when we built this practice.

You don't need to be perfect or have it all figured out. You just need to be willing to look honestly at your habits and take some consistent steps forward. We meet you exactly where you are.

Once we receive your application, we personally review it — your goals, your history, any labs you already have, and what you're dealing with day to day. Then we reach out by email and text to schedule a casual, no-pressure phone call.

That call is a real conversation, not a pitch. We want to hear your story: what you've been dealing with, what you've already tried, and what's feeling most urgent right now. You'll have plenty of space to ask us questions too.

From there, we put together a unique plan of action designed to get you closer to your goals as quickly and realistically as possible. No cookie-cutter programs, no guesswork. Just a clear path forward built around you.

You're likely a great fit if you:

  • Want real answers instead of more guessing
  • Are open to learning about your body and why it's doing what it's doing
  • Want personalized guidance instead of a generic plan designed for someone else
  • Are ready for realistic, sustainable habits that actually stick
  • Have felt dismissed by conventional medicine and are tired of being told everything is "fine"

If you want education, clarity, and long-term support from someone who genuinely gets it — this process was built for you.

We hear this all the time — and we mean it when we say you are not alone. So many of the women we work with have seen multiple doctors, tried multiple diets, and still feel dismissed or stuck. When you're dealing with something like Hashimoto's, PCOS, or weight loss resistance, cookie-cutter advice rarely gets to the root of what's actually going on.

Once we look at your symptoms alongside your labs, your food patterns, your stress, and your daily rhythms, things start to make sense in a way they probably haven't before. Your body is not broken. It just needs the right support, in the right order, from someone who actually understands your diagnosis. That's exactly what we're here for.

The Process

If any of these sound like your daily life, it's probably time:

  • Fatigue or burnout that doesn't improve no matter how much you sleep
  • Bloating, constipation, loose stools, or feeling puffy after meals
  • Brain fog, anxiety, irritability, or low mood you just can't shake
  • Heavy, painful, or irregular periods
  • Weight that won't move despite your best efforts
  • Cold hands and feet, hair shedding, dry skin, or stubborn acne
  • A diagnosis of Hashimoto's, PCOS, hypothyroidism, high cholesterol, or insulin resistance where you still don't feel well even with treatment

These aren't random or "just stress." They're signs that your thyroid, hormones, gut, and blood sugar need targeted support — and food is often a huge, overlooked piece of that puzzle.

If you have Hashimoto's, PCOS, or weight loss resistance, you've probably already learned that calorie counting and generic meal plans don't work for your body. That's not a willpower problem. That's a physiology problem — and it's exactly what we specialize in.

As functional dietitians, we look at how your food patterns are affecting your blood sugar, stress hormones, thyroid signaling, gut health, cholesterol, and inflammation. Then we show you how to build meals that are realistic, satisfying, and actually supportive of your specific situation.

Instead of handing you a rigid plan and sending you on your way, we help you build flexible habits that fit your real life. Because that's what actually sticks.

We know you're already exhausted. The last thing we want to do is pile a complicated protocol on top of that. You don't need a perfectly organized kitchen or hours of free time. You just need a little space to think about your meals, prep some simple options, and pay attention to how your body responds.

Most of our clients make real progress through meal frameworks, basic grocery lists, and small shifts like eating breakfast, adding more protein, or spacing meals more evenly. Our job is to find the easiest path that still actually moves the needle for your body.

After your application and initial call, here's how it typically unfolds:

Bi-weekly visitsIn the early phase, we meet every other week to teach you how to eat for your biology, balance blood sugar, support gut health, and fine-tune your habits.
Private chat supportMessage us between sessions for questions, feedback, and real-time support — because life doesn't wait for your next appointment.
Functional lab testing (when needed)We use blood work and specialty labs to get specific clarity on what your body needs and how nutrition can best support your diagnosis and symptoms.
Written protocols after every visitClear written guidance explaining what to do and exactly why it matters. No mystery, no guesswork.
Food logging feedbackSupportive, non-judgmental feedback to help you build balanced, satisfying meals that fit your real life.
Simple meal frameworksFlexible templates and recipe ideas that make consistent nourishment easier, even on your most exhausted days.
Maintenance phaseAs you start feeling better, we shift to less frequent visits so you stay supported while actually living your life.

Yes. Because our work is education-based and habit-driven, we typically require a minimum two-month initial commitment. This gives you enough time to actually learn, implement, and feel the shifts you've been craving — rather than just scratching the surface.

Most programs run 2 to 6 months before transitioning into as-needed monthly support, depending on your goals and how complex your picture is.

A lot of women notice early wins within the first few weeks — less bloating, more stable energy, better digestion — as we stabilize meals and support blood sugar. For conditions like Hashimoto's, PCOS, or thyroid disorders, deeper hormone and metabolic shifts often take several months, because we're rebuilding your foundation, not just masking symptoms.

We focus on steady, sustainable progress so you feel better not just this month, but years from now. This isn't a quick fix. It's a long game — and it is absolutely worth it.

With 1:1 coaching, you have access to private chat support between visits — with both Nicole and Emily. That means you can ask questions, share wins, troubleshoot a hard week, or get feedback when real life doesn't go according to plan, instead of waiting two weeks to get clarity.

Managing something like Hashimoto's or PCOS can feel really isolating. We want you to know you always have someone to reach out to, not just on appointment days.

Labs & Investment

Not always. Some women feel significantly better with nutrition and lifestyle shifts alone. But for conditions like Hashimoto's, PCOS, thyroid disorders, high cholesterol, or weight loss resistance, labs often give us the deeper clarity we need to really move the needle.

Labs help us see how your body is actually handling blood sugar, inflammation, detox, hormones, and nutrient status — the stuff that doesn't show up in a standard checkup. That information lets us be a lot more precise with your plan instead of just guessing.

It depends on your symptoms and goals, but here's what we might use:

  • Blood micronutrient testing (intra- and extra-cellular levels)
  • Full thyroid panel — not just TSH, because TSH alone doesn't tell the whole story, especially with Hashimoto's
  • Lipid panel to understand cholesterol and fat metabolism more deeply
  • Complete blood count
  • Blood sugar and insulin-related markers, especially important for PCOS and weight loss resistance
  • Inflammation and detox-related markers
  • Stool testing (GI MAP) for gut health
  • DUTCH hormone testing
  • HTMA mineral analysis

We also review any past labs you already have. No need to repeat testing you've already done.

Yes, please bring them! If you've been managing Hashimoto's, PCOS, thyroid issues, or high cholesterol for a while, you probably already have a stack of labs. We interpret them through a functional lens, which often reveals things a standard review misses — and then we decide together whether additional testing would add value. Your plan gets built around what your labs and your symptoms are both telling us.

We know you've probably invested a lot already trying to figure this out — and we don't take that lightly. Here's a clear breakdown so there are zero surprises:

1:1 Coaching ProgramsPrograms run 2 to 6 months, eventually transitioning to as-needed monthly support. Total investment ranges from $1,500 to $4,500 depending on program length and which functional lab tests are included.
Monthly payment plansFlexible payment plans range from $350 to $900 per month, depending on length of care and labs included.
Lab BundlesSelf-paced options for women who want functional lab interpretation and a clear protocol without live visits. Pricing varies by panel.

After your application and initial call, we'll walk you through exactly what the investment looks like before you commit to anything.

We don't bill insurance directly. Functional nutrition care is a lot more comprehensive than what insurance is typically set up to cover. Rather than quick, rushed visits, you get real education, real time, and real root-cause support — especially important when you're managing something complex like Hashimoto's, PCOS, or weight loss resistance.

We do provide Superbills (itemized receipts) that you can submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement, depending on your plan.

Yes! Many of our clients use HSA or FSA cards for services and eligible lab testing. We can provide detailed receipts for you to submit to your plan when appropriate. It's one of the easiest ways to make this feel more accessible.

1:1 coaching is our most comprehensive option. It includes bi-weekly visits, private chat support with Nicole and Emily, food logging feedback, habit coaching, and hands-on education built around your specific labs and symptoms. If you're managing something like Hashimoto's, PCOS, or weight loss resistance and you want someone genuinely in your corner day to day — this is the right fit.

Lab Bundles are designed for self-driven women who want data and a clear direction but prefer to implement at their own pace. There are no live visits, but you get a personalized recorded review, written protocols, and a functional interpretation of your results so you know exactly what to do and why.

I can honestly say that Chews Food Wisely has changed my life. I highly recommend this program to anyone who wants to take control of their health and build a sustainable, healthy lifestyle. Before starting the program, I was struggling with many issues most women over the age of 50 can relate to. I was overweight and felt like no matter what I did, I couldn't lose it. I was experiencing daily fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, poor sleep, and just didnt feel like myself. My lipid panel numbers were also very high, which was very concerning. Through this program, I gained a better understanding of how nutrition truly affects the body. Emily, the dietician, provided education, guidance, and encouragement that helped me make lasting changes. After completing the program, I am back to my ideal body weight. My energy has returned, my brian fog has greatly improved, I am sleeping much better and my joint pain has greatly decreased. I am very happy to say my lipid panel numbers have significantly improved! The greatest gift of this program is that I now have the knowledge and tools to continue this healthly lifestyle moving forward. My motto has become "progress not perfection, and I am learning small, consistent changes create lasting results. I feel like I have my life back , and I am so thankful for this program and the positive changes I've experienced.

I really enjoyed working with Chews Food Wisely. Both Nicole and Emily are really kind, easy to work with and very understanding. I worked mainly with Emily and she was always very happy to answer any questions I had. She was quick to create new protocols for me and recommend recipes and good quality supplements.

On Bloating!! All the descriptions you had on this letter is almost about me. Except I am a retiree not a marathoner or working. Just a retiree who wants to maintain most of my health with energy. I wish to get back fully to it if I can, keep reminding myself for my age we are to be acknowledging how much we can. I finally started feeling a change since I have been in the works with CHEWS. Primarily with Emily these past 4 sessions. Looking forward, hoping for more beneficial changes I can tell and share for gaining back healthier retiree with energy living life as God blessed me for it. These are the exact words I wanted to say, and you beat me to it.

I am so thankful that I made the decision to work with Emily and Nicole at Chews Food Wisely! I had a long journey to the point where I really needed help! I went through colon cancer, Barrett’s esophagus, then Hypothyroidism Hashimoto’s. Crazy, huh? I was dealing with a bloating stomach ALL the time, feeling fatigue and not knowing how to make healthy decisions with food. Emily later discovered that I need my thyroid med adjusted (helped me work with my primary dr), and she helped me tackle my gut bacteria. Since then, I am feeling much better with the right tools, supplements and probiotics. I don’t have much bloated stomach, and my mind shifted on what I need to fuel my body. BEST decision ever! It also helps a ton that they are FSA eligible. I absolutely love Emily’s positive coaching on my food journal!!

I worked with Emily for about two months, with Nicole available for support, and had a great experience. Emily reviewed my food logs and plate photos and helped me make smarter, more balanced choices. She also gives a lot of education in a way that’s technical enough to be helpful but still really easy to understand. She even did a deep dive into my labs, which is more than other providers have done for me. It really helped me understand what was going on with my health and what steps would make the biggest impact. Even though I’m still a work in progress, I’m definitely able to make healthier choices now. My lab work improved significantly in our short time together, and I’ve lost weight too. It’s an investment, but it has paid off more than any other program I’ve tried. I’m really grateful for their support and would absolutely recommend their services.

I went to Dr after Dr and tried all the things even natural things and it was just so overwhelming and nothing seemed to work. Chews food wisely has changed my life!! Nicole and her team have walked with me so closely and I can actually say im feeling so much better!! Im off some of my meds, my overall health and mental heath has way improved, and simply I'm not a couch potato anymore! Im a wife and mom again! I could never thank them enough for helping change my life! If you are wondering if it's worth the money or if there really is anything you can do to actually get better. It's so worth it and there truly is!! And it's working with someone like Nicole, who will tailor the plan not only to you but to your busy lifestyle! She made it possible for me to get better!!! She has helped me from making grocery list and meal prepping to educating me and reassuring me I'm not crazy and there's a reason I feel this way. The zoom meeting are never rushed and I always feel heard and encouraged! All this to say. Get your life back and get some help. It can get better and Im proof! Thanks to Chews food wisely!!

I want to share my experience working with Nicole and Emily so others who may be facing similar issues do not feel alone. I came to them with various issues including gut and digestion issues. I was always extremely bloated, fatigued, hair falling, and acne. I had worked with a previous practitioner who left me in a very restrictive diet to manage my digestion issues but I could not eat anything other than the same 3 meals for my breakfast, lunch and dinner. I struggled just by eating low fodmap foods as well and my periods were dreadful. With Emily and Nicole, I immediately felt supported and heard from my first consultation. They provided space for me to be vulnerable and provided options for me to guide me in my healing. 4 months later, my digestion has greatly improved and I have been able to eat more foods and I am slowly continuing to expand my diet. My acne has significantly cleared and energy levels have improved. I am still working on balancing my hormones and hair growth but I understand this will take some time and changes are not always linear. I encourage anyone who isn't feeling well to take a look closer at the labs they offer especially GI Map for those who have had chronic digestion issues. This greatly opened my eyes and provided greater understanding on my gut health. Although my initial package has ended, Nicole and Emily are great dietitians and nutritionists that I will carry with me in my wellness toolkit. Thank you Nicole and Emily <3

What stands out is the education and information provided. I discovered where I needed to make changes for optimal nutrition and I now feel confident in meal planning. I just had my annual lab work and saw improvement in my numbers and I feel better. Nicole and Emily are knowledgeable, responsive, and great to work with.
