How Health Loft works
Match with Your Ideal Dietitian
When choosing the right nutritionist or dietitian near you, credentials aren't the only factor. Health Loft simplifies this process by connecting you to Sutter Health nutritionists and Sutter Health dietitians who align with your health aspirations and can make a meaningful impact on your well-being.
Comprehensive Nutritional Assessment
Expect our dietitians to dedicate your first session to getting to know you. The goal is to gain a holistic view of your nutritional needs, gathering information about your current eating habits, lifestyle, and specific health concerns. Based on these insights, your Sutter Health nutritionist will create a personalized nutrition plan tailored to support you in achieving your desired outcomes.
Ongoing Support & Monitoring
Nutrition is a journey that should not be rushed, and we're with you every step of the way. Our health experts ensure you stay on course through regular check-ins, recommendations, and progress monitoring. Adjustments can also be made to your nutrition plan as your health goals and needs change.


Are Nutritionist Services Covered by Sutter Health?
Yes, many Sutter Health insurance plans include coverage for visits with a nutritionist or dietitian — especially when the care is preventive or helps manage chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure, or eating disorders. Coverage varies by plan, but you don’t need to navigate it alone — we verify your benefits for you. Just share your Sutter Health insurance information when you book your appointment, and we’ll confirm what’s covered and handle billing directly with your plan.
For the clearest understanding of your plan’s requirements, we encourage you to explore this page. You can also review your coverage by logging into your Sutter Health member portal.
Virtual Consultations with a Sutter Health Nutritionist
Health Loft offers fully virtual visits, so you can meet with your Sutter Health nutritionist from anywhere without travel or schedule disruptions. Before booking, be sure your nutritionist is licensed in your state, as some states limit dietitians from providing virtual care across state lines.
Health Loft helps by matching you with licensed dietitians in your area who accept Sutter Health insurance. Your coverage will determine appointment costs — preventive sessions may be free, while others may require a co-pay. Start your journey with Health Loft to learn more and connect with a Sutter Health nutritionist.

Melissa Horstman is a wonderful dietitian she has helped me in ways I never thought. I always thought that weight gain was something that just happened and there’s nothing I could do about it. Until I met Melissa I saw how wrong I was. If u need help with weight & want to do it naturally reach out to her. She will change your LIFE
I worked with Jenna Lenhart of Health Loft Nutrition for the last 3 months. Prior to working with her my gut health was in pretty bad shape and my blood tests were all borderline. Working with Jenna I’ve completely changed my diet for the better. My digestive system has completely changed for the better. My latest blood number all improved as well. 10/10 highly recommend!
Katie KNOWS her stuff!!! She has helped me put all of my concerns, questions and thoughts into an actual plan. And she is super friendly to boot!
- I've been working with Maddie on Health Loft and my expectations have been completely blown away! Maddie comprehensively reviewed my diet and lifestyle habits to help me build a more rounded and well-balanced diet. She also helped me with fueling for my training and runs. Her knowledge on nutrition and sports nutrition helped fill in any holes in my diet and training. I highly recommend Health Loft and Maddie!
