Registered Dietitian (Georgia or New York license) - Telehealth - Allara Health

Allara is a first-of-its-kind virtual care platform bridging the care divide for millions of women diagnosed with chronic health conditions. We are a well-established practice committed to delivering high-quality, patient-centered care. Our team of healthcare professionals is dedicated to improving patient outcomes and fostering a supportive and collaborative work environment. We pride ourselves on our commitment to excellence and innovation in healthcare. 

We're looking for a registered dietitian (RD) with significant experience in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) and common health conditions affecting women, such as endometriosis, perimenopause and menopause, thyroid disease, metabolic syndrome, and hormonal imbalances.

Our patients choose Allara because they want an ongoing relationship with an empathetic provider who understands their complex condition. This role is not one where you will simply prescribe a diet or meal plan. Our program encourages an evidence-based, yet liberalized diet, in conjunction with mindful eating techniques. Allara's nutrition team takes a weight-neutral approach and a health-first approach when addressing health and wellness concerns, while still offering support and advice to those interested in, and appropriate for, weight loss.

• Incorporate motivational interviewing and behavior change techniques throughout the continuity of care
