Day 11 Challenge:

DIY Coffee Day: Skip the coffee shop — make your favorite drink at home. (Save: $5–$7)

Today, I made a decaf latte at home. It’s crazy to think I used to drink at least 2 big mugs of regular coffee each day and now it’s an occasional treat for me to drink a decaf latte (I can’t stand regular decaf, but in a latte, I can enjoy it!) I couldn’t have imagined the day where I just would be fine without coffee on a day-to-day basis, but here we are and I’m so much calmer as a result!

Since a decaf latte is a special treat for me and not a daily thing, technically you could say I didn’t really save anything by making my own — because I wouldn’t have gotten one at the coffee shop today! But, I’m going to go ahead and count it since I did follow the challenge. By the way, if you are looking for other coffee shop at home type drinks, be sure to check out my Strawberry Lemonade Soda recipe from yesterday + my Homemade Lavender London Fog recipe.

A latte at Starbucks in our area is $5.25, so with the latte savings added to my total, we are at $100.50 found/saved so far with the challenge. Woohoo!! I didn’t know if I’d make it to $100, but I did!

How much have you saved/found so far as part of the challenge?

Looking for a work-at-home job?

Have you ever dreamed of working from home… but felt completely stuck before you even got started?

Maybe you’ve had thoughts like:

“I don’t have a degree or a standout resume.”
“It’s been years since I was in the workforce… who would even hire me?”
“I don’t want a boss, but I also don’t want to start a business from scratch.”
“I need to earn extra income… but I don’t even know where to begin.”

If any of that sounds familiar, I want you to know: you’re not alone — and you’re not out of options.

In fact, I created something just for you.

My Honest Experience With Nourish

Looking for a free dietitian online or online nutritionist consultation covered by insurance? I have been LOVING my Nourish dietitian and this is my completely honest review! Truly — it’s been life-changing for me!

My Completely Honest (+ Very Vulnerable) Nourish Dietitian Review

Are you wanting to make healthy changes in your diet but don’t know where to start? Struggling to hit your health goals or feeling overwhelmed by trying to stay on track?

Two months ago, I made a decision that I honestly didn’t expect to have such a big impact. I signed up to meet with a Nourish dietitian.

Not because I had a big health goal or some drastic change in mind, but because I was feeling a little stuck. I had been working out more, trying to be mindful of what I was eating, and wanting to better support my body through this full season of life.

I figured it couldn’t hurt to get a little expert insight, especially since Nourish is fully covered by insurance under our plan.

Honestly, I expected to get a few helpful tips on calories and macros. I didn’t expect it to shift so much of how I view my body, my energy, my relationship with food, and even how I approach rest and recovery.

But it has. And I’m so grateful. Let me tell you more about my honest experience with Nourish…

What Is Nourish?

Nourish is a virtual platform that connects you with a registered dietitian — someone trained to help you with everything from emotional eating to hormone health to energy levels and gut issues — all from the comfort of your own home.

Instead of handing you a one-size-fits-all meal plan or strict list of foods to avoid, your Nourish online dietitian walks with you step-by-step. They listen to your goals. They help you build habits. They offer insight on how nutrition, sleep, stress, and movement work together. And they empower you to nourish your body well, without shame, restriction, or overwhelm.

This One Small Step Has Been Quietly Transforming My Health (and It’s Covered by Insurance!)

To be honest, I was hesitant at first. I wasn’t sure I needed an online nutritionist consultation. I wondered if my health goals were “big enough” or if it would be worth the time.

But I also knew I wanted to take better care of myself. I felt a little foggy some days. I wanted accountability and clarity, and deep down, I wondered if I was giving my body what it needed to thrive.

That first call with my Nourish dietitian? It blew me away.

She helped me understand how the stress and depletion of the last few years — pregnancies, nursing, fostering, adopting a child with disabilities, caregiving, running a business, and raising six kids — had left me running on fumes. She walked me through how under-eating and under-sleeping were actually slowing down my metabolism and affecting my mood and hormones.

She didn’t guilt me. She didn’t overwhelm me. She encouraged me and gave me clear, simple steps I could take that very week.

What I’m Learning from My Nourish Dietician

Every session has been eye-opening. Not because of some radical overhaul… but because of how freeing and healing it’s been to undo old beliefs.

My dietitian has helped me:

Identify and challenge long-held beliefs about food and weight.
Realize how often I’ve equated worth with a number on the scale.
Shift from restriction to nourishment.
Take baby steps toward what she calls “food freedom” — where food supports your life, not controls it.

It’s emotional work, too. But so, so worth it.

online nutritionist consultation or free dietitian online -- so worth it!

Making the Most of Your Free Dietitian Online

If you decide to sign up (which I highly recommend if you’re curious!), here are a few tips to make the most of your online nutritionist consultation:

Track your eating, movement, and sleep for a few days ahead of your first call (I used MyFitnessPal and my Oura ring).
Bring questions or struggles you want help with — even small things like “I snack all day and feel tired after lunch.”
Share your health history (I even brought my bloodwork to our second session!).
Be honest and open — this isn’t about perfection, it’s about progress.

How Much Does a Session Cost with a Nourish Dietitian?

If you’re wondering what a Nourish session might cost, here’s the exciting news: 94% of users pay $0 out of pocket when they use insurance!

That’s right! You have a very good chance of being able to meet with a free dietitian online — right from the comfort of your own home. How cool is that?!

I have been sharing about Nourish for the past 6 weeks or so, as I have been using it and benefiting from it, and I would say that number they give is quite accurate as the majority of my audience is also finding that Nourish is covered by their insurance, too.

That said, every insurance plan is a little different — some may have a small copay or coinsurance — but Nourish does everything they can to keep your costs low and offers a simple insurance coverage calculator to help you know what to expect ahead of time.

Here’s what you need to know:

Most people pay nothing. Yes, really! The majority of users don’t pay anything out of pocket because Nourish is in-network with hundreds of insurance plans across all 50 states.
You can check your coverage easily. Nourish makes it super simple to verify your insurance and see if there may be any copays or fees.
No surprise bills. What your insurance says is what you’ll pay — no hidden costs or unexpected fees. All appointments are backed by the Nourish Guarantee to provide a no-surprise billing experience! Note: One of my followers was told that her insurance would cover Nourish and then that ended up not being the case. Nourish zeroed out her balance and didn’t charge her anything for the two sessions she had because of their Nourish Guarantee.
Paying out of pocket? If your insurance doesn’t cover sessions, the self-pay rate is $145 per session — and you’ll know that up front.

Why I Recommend It

If you’re:

Feeling stuck with your health goals
Battling low energy or brain fog
Walking through a tough postpartum season
Wanting to build a better relationship with food
Or simply needing some gentle accountability…

I highly recommend checking out Nourish. This is one of the most grace-filled, personalized things I’ve done for myself in a long time.

Text about Nourish online nutritionist consultation

One Last Personal Word…

I had to share this text I sent to my accountability group a month ago. I still cannot believe that our insurance is paying for me to hire a dietitian — and I cannot believe how much it is changing my life and challenging me in such good ways.

Whether you’re dealing with postpartum changes, low energy, hormone shifts, or stress eating — Nourish takes a whole-person approach. Your dietitian helps you connect the dots between nutrition, sleep, mood, and overall wellness.
