What People Are Saying
Throughout my professional baseball career, I've had access to the very best doctors, trainers and other healthcare professionals. Lisa, without a doubt, is among that elite class—maybe even better. She always finds time to help me and her approach is so effective and a more natural, healthier alternative. I always like to get her perspective on my nutritional health needs.

Unexpected colon resection surgery provided the impetus to examine what could be improved in my diet and nutrition to avoid ongoing or recurring gastrointestinal problems as well as address other health issues, namely early signs of osteoporosis and vitamin D deficiency. In addition to providing nutritional guidelines to enhance my diet for better digestion and colon health, Lisa also recommended a regimen that included medical foods for colon health, calcium and bone-building supplements and vitamin D. I’m happy to report that I have had no further colon “issues”, am no longer vitamin D deficient and fully expect to eliminate prescription medication for osteoporosis – great results for me in a relatively short period of time.
— Pat Cornell (New Canaan, CT)

Lisa is an exceptional practitioner that excels in developing science based nutritional protocols for her patients that blend traditional and functional medicine. We share many patients and I never fail to be impressed with her work.
— Dr. Joel Evans (Stamford, CT)
Lisa was recommended to me in early February of this year (2012)… and so began a journey that has changed my life. We met for a three-hour consultation, during which we discussed my health issues, including diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol and general physical deficiencies. With Lisa’s guidance, I started on a program she designed to regain my health. In three months time, I no longer have to take diabetes medications (I was on three) or Lipitor. I have lost thirty-three pounds and feel better than I have in thirty years.
While happy with my weight loss, my initial goal was not to lose weight but to combat my diabetes. I have done that, and I feel I have accomplished so much more. With Lisa’s expertise and encouragement, I am now confidant that I can sustain a healthy, well balanced, and drug-free life that provides me with an abundance of energy and greater joy.
— Judy Donohue (White Plains, NY)
When my son was getting married, I felt the pressure to go on a diet. Who doesn’t? I tried weight loss groups – paying week after week - to only eat all the so called “health” bars and packaged food items they sold on my way home. I fell into a rut where I was eating TV dinners, drinking soda and snacking on ice cream. The scale never moved and some weeks it went up. My health wasn’t improving. I was plagued with stomach and multiple gastro-intestinal issues. Then I spoke with Lisa. She gave me a wonderful diet eating whole foods, plenty of vegetables, lean protein sources with a nutraceutical blend to address my gastro-intestinal issues. Within a few weeks, I began to notice how much better I felt….my bloated belly gone. Through Lisa’s careful guidance, we began to tailor my food and supplement regimen utilizing organic foods when possible and only utilizing the highest quality supplements. It has been 2 years since my son’s wedding and I still apply her fundamental teachings and recommendations.
— V. K. (Milford, CT)
I was hospitalized with a GI tract infection. After being released from the hospital with high doses of antibiotics, I knew I needed some nutritional guidance for natural healing. I turned to Lisa Lisiewski, a dietitian-nutritionist, to help me with my nutritional regimen. She put me on a plan to support my overall health, gut, restore my intestinal balance and reduce the inflammation throughout my GI system. My bowel irritation finally was under control. My anti-oxidant levels increased immensely and gave me much more energy than I have had in the past. My scan score was extremely high proving that the high quality supplements were being absorbed into my body. As time went by, I realized that using her plan helped my body heal quicker and I have thus far avoided surgery. My Colonoscopy report from my doctor displayed my intestinal improvement.
I later turned to Lisa when my doctor diagnosed me with osteopenia. She was always available to answer my questions by phone or by emails giving me compassion and encouragement at a very stressful time in my life. She implemented a natural bone building regimen that could be used as an alternative or in conjunction with traditional medical practice.
I am thankful for Lisa’s knowledge and expertise about nutrition and truly grateful that she came into my life to help me discover a natural alternative to achieve optimal health. It is evident to me that incorporating the right nutrition with her guidance and in cooperation with my doctors, the quality of my life changed for the better.

What People are Asking
What People Are Asking
Q Do you accept insurance?
A Yes! Yes! Yes! Nutrition inc. Now takes most major insurance plans, including Aetna, Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, and United Healthcare. We are always looking to add providers in the future. For the past few decades, we have been a fee-for-service consulting firm accepting full payment at the time of service. Accepting insurance was a complicated and time-consuming process. We have joined forces with one of the leading insurance billing companies, which allows us to focus on delivering what we do best: providing the right nutritional care to clients in need. For years, Nutrition inc. Now has established the best consulting team - top leaders in the Nutritional Field - to aid us in delivering the appropriate nutritional care to our clients. Now, we can proudly say that our insurance billing team can allow us to offer premium nutritional care at a much more affordable cost.
Q How do I know how much my insurance company will cover for nutritional services?
A You can call your insurance company directly or use our insurance co-pay coverage tool to check your price here. This allows you to see exactly how much you will pay for each session utilizing your insurance. Most insurance companies cover at least 15 sessions per calendar year, with some covering unlimited. We have clients who may pay less than $100 per year for 15 quality nutritional sessions, setting them on the best pathway to greater health. Furthermore, your out-of-pocket expense could be zero depending on your insurance plan or if you use your HSA or FSA plans.
Q What exactly do you do?
A I am a certified dietitian-nutritionist. I have been developing nutritional and lifestyle regimens for patients and clients for over 20 years. My education and clinical experience are both integrative and traditionally based. My typical patient presents complex with multiple co-morbidities that could include one or all of our current healthcare challenges: diabetes, cardiovascular, cancer, gastro-intestinal, autoimmune, etc. This further solidifies that every individual needs specific diet guidance to fit their needs and lifestyle. One diet regimen most likely doesn't fit all. But more importantly, your diet regimen will need to change over time as you progress through your life cycle. As I have done with thousands of others, I can work on your appropriate diet plan and specifically outline the most beneficial supplements to better your health and prevent life-altering complications. Whether it's weight loss, increased energy, or decreasing/eliminating the medication regimen you desire, I can help offer you an alternative nutritional approach that will bring your body back to balance and improve the quality of your life.
Q What should I expect during my 1st consult?
A Post the pandemic, the majority of our practice has converted to a telehealth framework utilizing virtual technology and or phone consultation support. After scheduling an online virtual session through our access link here, you will be prompted to our welcome letter, authorization for release of information, and further intake forms that allow us to gather information at an initial glance regarding your nutritional needs. These forms are best filled out prior to your scheduled appointment so we can make the most of your initial review to set you on a pathway to a healthier you. We will review your medical history, family history, your personal lifestyle, your diet, issues with any systems of your body, exercise habits, and laboratory data. We may request further MD-ordered lab reviews or require other nutritional testing, depending on the complexity of your situation. The initial consultation can last up to 90 minutes for this in-depth review while we get to know each other. Together, we will decide on the best regimen that you feel comfortable with and then discuss your follow-up journey.
Q What kind of nutritional testing do you do?
A Currently, we have moved to reviewing the current lab work your doctor has performed. Most of our clients are doctor referrals due to some nutritional concern that requires greater nutritional interventions. Often, we will instruct your doctors on more specific testing to order so that you get the most coverage from your health insurance plan. We realize that sometimes this is not the case, and more sensitive nutritional testing is needed. In that case, we will offer you other cost-effective, comprehensive options.
Q I live far away. Do you do virtual sessions/phone consultations?
A Absolutely. Again, our first meeting will be approximately a 90-minute virtual session. After we decide on your treatment plan, follow-up sessions can remain virtual or switch to phone consultation status. You also will have cell phone access or can remain to chat in between sessions on our secure electronic medical record platform.
Q Do you do home consultations?
A In some instances, we will do home consultations that are in the Stamford, Connecticut or lower Fairfield County area that our network of prescribing doctors find necessary. However, the majority of our practice has changed to a telehealth / virtual session platform.
Q What if I want my loved one to attend one of my sessions?
A We welcome it. We want to educate not only you but also your surrounding support system on the appropriate nutrition. Most often, clients will request that the primary food provider attend sessions to learn about appropriate buying, prepping, and nutritional food combinations to incorporate into meal planning. This is a great way to further pave your way to success and better nutritional health.
Q Q: What do you think of the __________ diet?
A I can't tell you how often my clients ask me about this diet or the latest diet craze. Throughout the years, my answer still remains the same. Every diet has its pros and cons. Just because it worked for the majority of your neighbours next door doesn't mean that it will work for you. Everyone has their own chemical individuality and metabolic makeup. When you start pulling all the pieces to the puzzle together – current symptoms, medical history, diagnosis, laboratory values and anthropometric measurements, lifestyle, diet, etc. – it is only then that you can make an educated decision on what will work best for you to improve your health outcomes. One constant always remains the same: quality food matters most.
Q Will this be too expensive?
A No. We accept most major health insurance plans. Most people don't realize their health insurance coverage for nutrition consultations with a registered dietitian. 95% of clients pay $15 or less per appointment, and most insurance plans have an unlimited amount of nutrition therapy sessions. This means you receive quality care for a fraction of the cost. Let our team work with your insurance company to get you the best possible coverage rates. You can now spend your hard-earned money on what really counts: the right nutrition to feed your body. Furthermore, when you join the Nutrition Inc. Now, family, you will have access to the highest quality supplements and regimens at a discounted rate. We will work with you to tailor your plan that will save you money in the long run and improve the quality of your life for years to come.
