How I Finally Made Peace with My Health Goals (and Found a Plan That Actually Helps)

It’s that time of year again—the New Year is just around the corner, and if you’re anything like me, you’ve probably got some health goals buzzing around in your head. Been there, sighed at that. But if this is the year you’re ready to feel good in your body and finally tackle those goals, let me share something that worked for me: Berry Street.

Now, before you roll your eyes, I get it. The world is full of promises about “the next big thing” in weight loss. This isn’t that. Berry Street is different—it’s platform that connects individuals with registered dietitian nutritionists and is personal, thoughtful, and actually helps. Here’s why:

Insurance can cover it—so you don’t have to stress

Before starting my personalized plan...
~3 months after starting my plan...

Let’s be real—money is often the biggest hurdle when it comes to seeking professional help for your health. I used to assume working with a dietitian would break the bank, so I avoided it. But Berry Street partners with over 1,250+ insurance plans from name brand providers like Aetna, Cigna, United Healthcare, which means a lot of people pay nothing out of pocket.

I was floored when I found out my visits were 100% covered. No sneaky fees, no financial panic—just help I needed without the stress.

It’s completely customized to your needs

I went into this thinking it’d be the usual “eat less, move more” advice. Instead, my dietitian wanted to know about my energy levels, sleep, stress, and even gut health. The plan they created wasn’t just about shedding pounds; it was about feeling better in every way.

They work with people dealing with all kinds of challenges—PCOS, IBS, food allergies, postnatal nutrition—you name it. For me, the difference was in how personalized everything felt. It wasn’t some cookie-cutter plan; it was tailored for me. My dietitian recommended that I increase the amount of iron in my diet and now I feel way healthier—I’m sleeping better and have more energy.

You get easy, convenient virtual visits

Life gets busy. And honestly, I’ve skipped plenty of appointments just because it felt like too much effort to get there. Berry Street’s virtual visits were a game changer.

I signed up in minutes, and now I chat with my dietitian from my couch, wrapped in a blanket, tea in hand. No long commutes, no waiting rooms—just support that fits into my life.

They actually care about your goals

I’ve tried programs where I felt like a number in a spreadsheet. Berry Street was the opposite. My dietitian celebrated my progress, checked in regularly, and listened when I hit tough spots (holiday cookies, anyone?).

There was no guilt, no lectures—just encouragement and a plan to move forward. For the first time, I felt like someone was in my corner, cheering me on.

The results are achievable and maintainable

You know those crash diets that make big promises but leave you back at square one? I’ve fallen for them, too. What Berry Street gave me wasn’t just a way to lose weight—it was a way to live better.

I didn’t have to give up pizza or chocolate. Instead, I learned how to balance the foods I love with smarter choices. I lost weight, yes, but I also gained energy, confidence, and a healthier relationship with food.
