In a world full of “nutritionists” and self-proclaimed wellness gurus, it can be hard to know who to trust. When it comes to credible, science-backed nutrition guidance, the gold standard is a Registered Dietitian (RD) or Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS).

Both credentials represent rigorous, advanced training in clinical nutrition and are recognized by medical professionals, licensing boards, and—in the case of RDs—insurance providers.

• Registered Dietitians (RDs) complete an accredited bachelor’s and master’s-level education, a supervised dietetic internship, and must pass a national board exam. They are trained in medical nutrition therapy, research interpretation, and behavior change strategies to provide evidence-based care.
• Certified Nutrition Specialists (CNSs) are also board-certified nutrition professionals who MUST hold an advanced degree (often master’s or doctorate level), complete at least 1,000 hours of supervised clinical experience, and pass a rigorous certification exam focused on functional and integrative nutrition science.

Unlike influencers, salespeople, or unregulated “nutrition coaches,” RDs and CNSs are licensed, credentialed, and held to the highest professional and ethical standards.

So when you're looking for trusted, practical, and research-informed guidance, seek a credentialed expert who has the education and experience to support your long-term health—not just sell a trend.

All sessions are held online via secure video call through our HIPAA-compliant platform, Healthie.

Through your Healthie account or app, you can:

• Join your scheduled video sessions
• Securely message Kayla between visits
• Log food, symptoms, and lifestyle in your nutrition journal

Healthie makes it easy to stay connected, organized, and supported throughout your care.

At this time, we are a private-pay practice and do not accept insurance. However, we are happy to provide a superbill upon request that you may submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement.

The initial consultation (60–90 minutes) includes a comprehensive review of your medical history, lifestyle, nutrition habits, labs (required if you have them), and health goals. You will receive foundational recommendations to begin implementing right away. 

This depends on your health goals, current symptoms, and level of support needed. Most clients work with us for at least 3–6 months to see meaningful results. We recommend beginning with a package or committing to regular follow-ups. 

We currently offer virtual appointments via a secure HIPAA-compliant platform.  In-person appointments may be available if you have an established chart within the Cherokee Nation. We can see patients in the states that have passed the Dietitian Licensure Compact. Click here to see if your state has passed this compact. 

We can recommend nutrition-focused lab tests and professional-grade supplements. Labs are for insight into nutritional status only, not for diagnosing medical conditions. Diagnostic labs must be ordered by a licensed physician.

To respect everyone’s time and ensure availability for all clients, we kindly ask that you provide more than 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment.

• If you miss your scheduled appointment without notice, you will forfeit 100% of the session fee.

• Cancellations or rescheduling made with less than 24 hours’ notice will incur a 50% cancellation fee.

We understand that emergencies happen, but please review your calendar carefully before booking. Frequent last-minute changes disrupt the flow of care—for both you and others.

This policy allows us to run a timely and supportive practice for everyone we serve. Thank you for your understanding and commitment to your health journey. Please contact Kayla via your healthie portlal messaging or email vollmondkays@gmail.com

With endless nutrition headlines and trendy products flooding your feed, it can be hard to separate science from sensationalism. Here's how to become a savvy, health-conscious consumer:

• Too good to be true?
  If a product or plan promises a quick fix, dramatic results, or overnight weight loss—be skeptical. Real health takes time and consistency.
• Guaranteed “cures”
  Be cautious of any product or diet that claims to cure a wide range of diseases. No single food or supplement can replace comprehensive medical care.
• Fear-based language
  Watch out for rigid claims like “never eat this” or labeling foods as strictly good or bad. Balanced nutrition allows for variety, flexibility, and moderation.
• False or misleading advertising
  Don’t be fooled by front-of-package buzzwords like “natural,” “clean,” or “immune-boosting.” Always flip the package over and check the ingredient list and nutrition facts for the real story.
