FAQs | Amy Archer, RDN Brain Dietitian
How can Wellness RD help me?
Wellness RD offers personalized nutrition care for brain health and healthy aging, focusing on ADHD, concussion recovery, and the gut-brain connection. Amy Archer, RDN, reviews your health and nutrition history, medications, and recent labs, then builds a food-first plan with sleep, movement, and stress reduction strategies. She has worked in functional nutrition since 2014 and wrote clinician guides on ADHD and concussion recovery.

Do you take insurance?
Wellness RD does not take insurance. Instead, clients receive a “superbill,” where appropriate. A superbill allows you to submit your claim for reimbursement to your insurance provider and collect any potential reimbursement directly from that organization.
Will my insurance cover the services of a Registered Dietitian?
Insurance does not typically cover 100% of the fees and you will be responsible for some, if not all, of the costs. If you have a Health Savings Account (HSA)/ Flex Spending Account, it may be acceptable to use those funds to pay for RDN services.
What is Wellness RD’s payment policy and how do I schedule services?
Wellness RD requires ALL payments in advance, at the time of scheduling. Advanced notice of no less than 24 hours from the scheduled time of your appointment is required for all cancellations. Clients who do not cancel an appointment more than 24 hours in advance of the scheduled time will be charged in full for the appointment.
What is the cost of an appointment?
Initial 60-minute appointments are $225. Follow-up 45-minute sessions are $180.
