Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What type of nutritionist are you?

Laura Farnsworth, DCN, MS, CNS, is an Integrative and Functional Nutritionist with a Doctor of Clinical Nutrition (DCN) degree. The integrative approach incorporates stress reduction techniques and whole-lifestyle considerations to influence food choices. The functional nutrition philosophy looks deeply into underlying causes for imbalance and addresses root causes rather than superficial symptoms alone.

How are you different from a registered dietitian?

Laura Farnsworth holds a Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS) credential that is similar to the requirements of a registered dietitian (RD). A CNS nutritionist must earn a master of science in nutrition, accrue at least 1,000 hours during a clinical internship, and pass a rigorous board examination.

The main difference between a RD and a CNS practitioner is the training focus. A RD is skilled with acute medical care, while the CNS practitioner addresses clients holistically to improve and prevent illness.

Are you a licensed nutritionist?

Laura Farnsworth offers nutrition counseling worldwide via telehealth. As local laws oversee telehealth nutrition counseling and health coaching, Laura adheres to legal requirements when working with a client.

As a nutrition practitioner in California, an area without state licensing for nutrition professionals, Laura holds valid Florida and Washington State licenses for those agencies that request proof of licensure.

Do you offer discounts?

Craving For Health Integrative Nutrition offers sliding scale payments and discounts for students, seniors, military families, and first responders. Nutrition counseling should be affordable and accessible.

Do you accept insurance?

A Superbill can be provided to the client for submission to their insurance company. Always check with your insurance provider before making an appointment.

Will I have to give up my favorite foods?

Laura teaches the benefits of mindful, intuitive, and inclusive eating. Looking at hidden motivations for food choices, we uncover deeper needs that should be addressed. Over time, we work to increase beneficial foods while “crowding out” less favorable choices.

For individuals with medical reasons for food avoidance, such as celiac disease or IgE-mediated food allergies, Laura provides meal tips to work around these challenges.

What is personalized nutrition, and why does it typically require at least two sessions?

Personalized nutrition is customized according to unique lifestyle factors, food preferences, family & genetic influences, health concerns, and nutrient needs. Because we’re looking into root causes for symptoms, it will take at least two sessions to begin a lifestyle plan that often requires adjustment going forward.

Do you offer meal plans?

Along with lifestyle recommendations, a meal plan with recipes is often included in your nutrition goal summary. A more customized meal plan, or a plan for a longer duration, may require a separate fee.

Do you order laboratory testing?

Select nutrition-related laboratory testing may be ordered as allowed by state law through companies such as Genova Labs, Mosaic Diagnostics, and DUTCH Test.
