In Connecticut, most people spend about $200–$500 per month for 1:1 nutrition support (usually 2–4 sessions/month plus light accountability). If you’re doing basic monthly check-ins or a group program, it’s often $99–$200/month. For intensive coaching (multiple sessions per week, detailed meal planning, messaging support), $250–$600+/month is common—especially in the first month.

A good “CT reality check” on session pricing: state-by-state estimates put a Connecticut visit around ~$87–$130 for a nutritionist visit, but that can vary widely based on credentials, visit length, and whether it’s medical nutrition therapy.

Typical monthly costs (CT-friendly ranges)

Basic / Group Coaching (most affordable) — $99–$200/month

Group calls, templates, app-based tracking, fewer 1:1 sessions
Best for: general weight management, habit building, “I want structure” plans

Standard 1:1 Nutrition Coaching — $200–$500/month

Usually 2–4 sessions/month + simple check-ins
Best for: sustainable weight loss, digestive support, busy families, ongoing accountability

Intensive / Premium Nutrition Programs — $250–$600+/month (first month often highest)

Multiple sessions/week, in-depth assessment, custom meal strategy, messaging support
Best for: complex goals, fast start, higher-touch accountability

Maintenance / Long-term support — $50–$200/month

Monthly or bi-weekly follow-ups after you’ve built consistency

What makes the monthly price go up or down?

Credentials: “Nutritionist” vs Registered Dietitian (RD/RDN)

RD/RDNs generally cost more because they have regulated clinical training and can provide medical nutrition therapy.
“Nutritionist” can mean many things depending on credentials (so pricing varies widely).

Frequency + support level

Weekly sessions + between-session support (texts/app) = higher monthly cost.

Format: in-person vs telehealth

Telehealth is often lower overhead and can be more budget-friendly (while still personalized).

Packages and programs

Multi-month packages often reduce your per-month cost vs paying per visit.

Insurance in CT: when you might pay less (or $0)

If your care qualifies as Medical Nutrition Therapy (MNT), insurance may cover some or all of your visits—especially when you have a diagnosis and a referral (varies by plan).

Medicare covers MNT for diabetes, kidney disease, or recent kidney transplant when referred and provided by a qualified professional.
HUSKY Health (CT Medicaid) has an MNT policy with coverage limits (example policy language: covered hours per calendar year; more may require authorization).

Quick “monthly cost calculator”

Monthly cost ≈ (visit price × visits/month) + program support fee

Example using CT-typical visit estimates:

$100/visit × 2 visits/month = ~$200/month
$125/visit × 4 visits/month = ~$500/month
