Get your child back to healthy.

We specialize in growing your infant, child, or adolescent the nutritious way.

Proper nutrition is imperative for healthy growth for our young ones. Personality, health issues, and unhealthy routines can stunt your child’s development and sense of wellness.

For example, their growth may be normal, but a sudden health issue makes eating and feeding difficult. Our pediatric specialists walk you through every step to minimize long-term health issues and maximize their well-being. Whether your child struggles with weight, height or both, we help get them back to healthy.

Medical Nutrition Plan of Action

Food is Our Prescription.

Our pediatric nutrition specialists make a detailed assessment of your child’s growth history, medical records and current diet. They work alongside you to create a nutrition plan that meets your child’s needs in a way that is doable for your family.

Our dietitians spend a full 90 minutes on your first visit to establish a personal relationship and also address every question and concern from mom and dad. We discover nutrition needs, note the expected progress, and set defined goals to give your child a jumpstart in life.

Individualized Nutrition Plans

Lemond Nutrition is one of the few private nutrition practices that specialize in child growth abnormalities (underweight and overweight) for a myriad of health reasons and causes. There are so many emotional and behavioral aspects to consider when guiding a child around food. Many dietitians lack the sensitivity needed to properly address an uncomfortable subject. We go through great lengths to show your child respect while administering the help they need.

Depending on the child’s age and diagnosis, the first consultation may emphasize interaction with the parents or child. Most children need to come to the visit, but in some cases we do ask for the parents to come alone.

The first visit includes a nutrition prescription or wellness contract packaged in a portfolio with practical educational items customized to your child’s nutrition goals.

We also offer our families ongoing support through our HIPAA-compliant Healthie portal. Your pediatric nutrition expert is only a click away.

The first visit typically involves:

Height/Weight/BMI or weight-for-length
Growth chart plotting
24 hour diet recall including food likes and dislikes
Food allergies
Past medical history and family medical history
Family dynamics

We Work with Your Insurance

Please have your insurance card ready when you book an appointment. While most insurance companies cover our services, we prefer to verify benefits as part of setting up your appointment.

Any quote on benefits is NOT a guarantee of insurance payment— unpaid claims are your responsibility.

Co-pays or co-insurance fees are due at the time of your nutrition appointment. We take all forms of payment including cash, check, Mastercard, Visa, American Express and Discover.

We are out of network for Humana Tricare Military and Tricare but do take their insurance with records and pre-authorization. Before you make an appointment, contact our office to learn about the discounts offered for each plan.

** Effective 9/21/2023: Medicare is only covered for diabetes, chronic kidney disease, end stage renal disease, and/or if you have had a transplant in the past 36 months. It will then cover three visits for the 1st year and two visits in the subsequent years.**

“We are so thankful for Lemond Nutrition working with our 13 year son! He has eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) & many allergies. They educated us on so many new foods, meals & snack ideas that he could have, how to add calories & what type of foods to help him grow. I really appreciate the way his dietitian respectfully talked with him & gave him ownership, which resulted in more confidence. From 2/2018 to 11/2018, he gained a total of 16.4 lbs (went from the 21st percentile to 38th percentile) and grew 4.1 inches (from the 37th percentile to 61 percentile)! He has continued to thrive since.”
