Nutrition Coaching with Loshi Vue, RDN

Virtual Care that’s practical, personal, and judgement-free

Working with Grain by Grain means getting real support—not just another set of food rules. I’m here to help you feel better in your body, find what works for your lifestyle, and finally make changes that last. As a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, I’ve helped people navigate everything from confusing diet advice to chronic conditions—and I’d love to help you too.


Does any of this sound familiar?

  • You’re low on energy no matter what you try

  • Nutrition feels confusing, and you don’t know who to trust

  • Diets haven’t stuck—and you’re tired of starting over

  • You want to eat better, but without giving up foods you love

  • Managing diabetes, weight, or hormones feels frustrating

  • You’ve been told what not to eat, but never what actually works for you

Let’s take the guesswork out of nutrition.

We’ll focus on small, realistic steps that make a big impact—without extremes, guilt, or all-or-nothing thinking.

GLP-1 weight loss support and side effect management by Loshi Vue, RD — part of Grain by Grain’s nutrition coaching.

GLP-1 Nutrition Support

  • If you’re using medications like Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, or Zepbound, nutrition still matters. I’ll help you manage side effects, preserve muscle mass, and build eating habits that support long-term health — so you’re not just relying on the shot.

    NOTE: We do NOT prescribe the medications.

    We accept health insurance.

    • Managing side effects (nausea, constipation, low appetite)

    • Preventing rapid or unhealthy weight loss

    • Meeting protein and hydration needs

    • Creating meals that feel good and fuel your body

    • Nutrition support during dose changes or plateaus

    • Transition planning if you ever stop medication

  • “If I’m on a GLP-1, I don’t need to think about food anymore.”
    False. Nutrition still plays a huge role in preserving muscle, preventing malnutrition, and feeling your best.

    “All I need is fewer calories.”
    Not true. Quality matters — especially protein, fiber, and hydration.

    “I’ll just eat less of whatever I want.”
    That can work short-term, but long-term success comes from what you eat, how you eat, and how consistent your habits are.

Nutrition Counseling FAQs

  • Yes — many insurance plans cover nutrition counseling or medical nutrition therapy (MNT), although coverage for nutrition counseling or medical nutrition therapy (MNT) may vary by plan.

    • If your plan covers nutrition counseling as a preventive service, visits are typically covered at 100% with no out-of-pocket cost.

    • If your plan processes nutrition counseling as a medical service, you may be responsible for a specialist copay, deductible, or coinsurance once the claim is billed.

    Our office will verify your insurance benefits on your behalf before your first appointment so you understand what your plan covers and what your out-of-pocket responsibility may be. We still recommend that you also call the number on the back of your insurance card to confirm your coverage for “nutrition counseling” or “medical nutrition therapy.”

  • No — a dietitian and a nutritionist are not the same.

    • The term “nutritionist” is not legally protected in most states, meaning anyone can call themselves a nutritionist, regardless of training.

    • A Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) is a legally protected title that requires a degree in nutrition, supervised practice hours, passing a national exam, and completing continuing education to maintain credentials.

    When you work with an RDN, you can feel confident you’re speaking with a licensed nutrition expert trained to provide safe, effective, and personalized nutrition counseling. Here at Grain by Grain, we only provide evidence-based care.

  • Referral requirements depend on your state and insurance plan:

    • California and certain other states: some insurance carriers may require a referral regardless of plan type.

    • Most PPO plans: typically do not require a referral before scheduling with a dietitian.

    • Medicare Part B and Medicare Advantage HMO: require a referral and qualifying diagnosis (e.g., Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes, Chronic Kidney Disease, or post-renal transplant within 36 months) for coverage.

    • Commercial HMO or POS plans: often require referral authorization from your Primary Care Provider before scheduling.

    If your plan requires a referral, our office will assist you by providing the information your doctor needs to submit the authorization to your insurance carrier. Once approval is received, we’ll reach out to schedule your first visit.

    If you’re unsure, we’ll help confirm referral requirements during the insurance verification process. Contact us to learn more.

  • The number of visits with your Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) depends on your health goals, medical history, lifestyle habits, and insurance coverage. We typically recommend starting with weekly sessions to help you implement deeper changes and stay accountable.

    As progress is made, many people transition to follow-ups every 2–4 weeks, spacing out sessions as they become more confident in their nutrition plan.

    Loshi Vue, RDN, will recommend a frequency that best supports your success, but ultimately you decide how often you’d like to schedule visits.

  • Instead of rigid, one-size-fits-all meal plans, dietitians provide personalized meal guidance tailored to your health goals, culture, food preferences, and lifestyle. We may share sample meal ideas, grocery shopping tips, or recipe resources to help you put your plan into practice.

    Our goal is to help you build sustainable habits, not short-term fixes.

  • Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs) can support a wide range of health concerns, including diabetes, prediabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, PCOS, digestive issues, food allergies or intolerances, weight management, sports performance, and general healthy eating habits. If you have a medical condition or a specific nutrition goal, a dietitian can provide evidence-based guidance tailored to your needs.

    At Grain by Grain, we’ve been trained to work with multiple conditions — and even multiple conditions at once — so your care plan addresses the whole picture, not just one issue at a time. If you have a medical condition or a specific nutrition goal, a dietitian can provide evidence-based guidance tailored to your needs.

  • Yes! We provide telehealth nutrition counseling so you can meet with your dietitian online from anywhere. Virtual sessions are secure, HIPAA-compliant, and typically covered by insurance the same way as in-person visits.

    The dietitians provide virtual nutrition counseling for clients in California, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Washington, and beyond. See Locations Served for more.
