Abby Ginader Nutrition

I am located in Missoula, Montana at 825 W Kent Ave. I offer in-person sessions as well as virtual sessions via a secure telehealth link throughout the state of Montana.

I work with people of all shapes, sizes, backgrounds, identities, and abilities, age 14 and older, who would like to improve their relationship with food.

When beginning treatment, weekly sessions are helpful to gain a foundation and momentum to progress towards your goals. As we make sustained progress together, we can reassess frequency of appointments. How long we’ll work together is entirely up to you! As with traditional therapy, nutrition counseling is a process and often requires ample time to unpack negative beliefs and create a new framework around food.

I am in network with the following insurance providers: Blue Cross Blue Shield of Montana PacificSource First Choice Health/Aetna Allegiance/Cigna Missoula County Employee Benefits Plan Montana Medicaid (covers individuals age 20 and younger) You may qualify for free nutrition counseling through your insurance, though coverage varies by plan. Please contact your insurance company prior to your first session to verify your coverage. Questions to ask your insurance company: ​ Does my plan cover nutrition counseling or medical nutrition therapy (procedure codes 97802 and 97803)? Are nutrition counseling visits covered under the preventative care portion of my plan (ICD-10 Code: Z71.3)? Do I have a co-pay or co-insurance for these services? Do I have a deductible to meet before my sessions are covered? Do I need a referral from my doctor for these services? Is there a limit on the number of sessions or units covered? Is Telehealth covered? If you do not have insurance or if I am not in network with your insurance company, I offer a self pay rate. Please reach out for more information.

Nutrition noise is loud. In a society with constant messaging about what and how to eat, it can be hard to know what's true and what's not. A Registered Dietitian is a professional who has completed a bachelors degree, undergone a minimum of 1200 hours of supervised practice and passed a national registration exam to earn their credential, making them experts in the field of nutrition. While every Registered Dietitian (RD or RDN) is a nutritionist, not every nutritionist holds the credentials of a Registered Dietitian noted above.

No! I believe that there is no one right way to eat. How you eat should be flexible, taking into account your preferences, lifestyle, schedule, and values. It is my goal to help you learn to listen to your body to make food decisions that suit you.
