ACCEPTED INSURANCES
Stellar Health Nutrition works with adults across the District by telehealth.
Many of our clients live and work in DC, and every visit happens over secure video, so there is no Metro ride, no parking, and no hour carved out of your day for a commute.
If you have been handed a sheet of foods to avoid and wished someone would just help you figure out lunch on a Tuesday, you are in the right place.
We start with your labs, your schedule, and how much cooking you actually want to do.
Kidney Nutrition for DC Adults
Kidney care is the center of our practice. Whether you are working through a new chronic kidney disease diagnosis or trying to make sure the last kidney stone really is the last, you get a plan built around your labs and your real week.
Chronic kidney disease
High blood pressure and type 2 diabetes are two of the most common causes of chronic kidney disease, and plenty of our clients are managing more than one.
We help you understand what your labs are telling you, adjust protein, potassium, phosphorus, or sodium only as much as your numbers call for, and build one plan that covers your kidneys, blood sugar, and heart together.
Kidney stones
A busy DC week is hard on stone prevention. Coffee in the morning, back to back meetings, a desk lunch, and suddenly it is 4 pm and you have had almost no water.
Takeout and restaurant meals tend to run high in sodium, which pulls more calcium into your urine.
And swampy DC summers make it easy to fall behind on fluids without noticing.
We figure out which changes matter for your type of stone and your labs, then make them fit your calendar.
-
A water routine that survives a meeting-heavy day.
-
Takeout orders that work for your kidneys.
-
No pretending you will meal prep every Sunday.
Working with your doctors
With your permission, we send visit notes to your nephrologist, urologist, or primary care doctor, wherever in the DC area they practice, so your care team works from the same plan.
More Ways We Help Wilmington Adults
We work with adults 18 and older. We are not the right fit for weight loss programs, sports nutrition, or care for children and teens, and we are always glad to point you toward someone who is.
For the high-output brain that runs on coffee until mid afternoon, then crashes. We work on eating regularly, food aversions, and meals that take almost no executive function.
Steadier blood sugar and better numbers, with a plan that works on travel days and late nights too.
Hormone changes, new cholesterol or blood sugar numbers, and conflicting advice. We sort out what actually matters for you.
Disordered eating and chronic dieting
Support for binge eating, years of dieting, and adults who are medically stable in recovery.
Insurance for DC Clients
We are in network with Aetna, CareFirst Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, and UnitedHealthcare, and we offer self pay.
If you are a federal employee, we also accept the Blue Cross Blue Shield Federal Employee Program. We verify your benefits before your first visit so you know what to expect.
Telehealth that fits a DC workday
Visits happen over secure video, Monday to Friday, 9 am to 5 pm Eastern.
Join from home, from a quiet office or conference room, or from your car in a parking garage. Plenty of clients do.
You can show us your fridge, share your latest lab results on screen, and walk through the grocery list together.
For nutrition care, video gives us a better look at your real life than an exam room would.
Is this the right fit?
We are a great fit for DC adults who want practical help that works in a full life, especially if you are tired of being told what to eat by someone who has never seen your calendar.
We are not the right fit for weight loss programs, sports nutrition, children and teens, or eating disorders that need a higher level of care.
If that is what you need, we are glad to help you find the right person.
Frequently Asked Questions for DC Clients
I live in DC but work in Maryland or Virginia. Does that matter?
Not at all. We see clients by telehealth in DC, Maryland, and Virginia, so you can join from home or the office. What matters is that you are in one of the areas we serve during the visit.
