Functional & Integrative Dietitian Referral Partner

Yes, regularly. I align with your care plan and support patient implementation from the nutrition side. 

With appropriate consent, I provide concise summary documentation and remain available for case-level collaboration. Care is positioned to support, not compete with medical or psychological treatment strategies.

Common reasons include:

• Patient is not following nutrition recommendations 
• Picky eating is limiting clinical progress 
• GI symptoms persist despite treatment 
• Family needs more structured support 
• Complex case with multiple contributing factors

Pediatric Referrals:

• Autism, ADHD, OCD, anxiety, or other neurobehavioral symptoms 

• Severe feeding rigidity, or sensory-based food restriction

• Autoimmune or inflammatory conditions (e.g., Juvenile Arthritis)
• Persistent gastrointestinal symptoms affecting growth, behavior, or immune regulation
• Iron, zinc, vitamin D, or other micronutrient deficiencies
• Complex, multi-system inflammatory cases requiring structured nutrition support

Women’s Health Referrals:

• Perimenopause or menopause-related weight redistribution
• Insulin resistance or blood sugar instability
• PCOS and/or Infertility 

• Loss of muscle mass or metabolic slowdown
• Thyroid optimization challenges
• Chronic inflammation or autoimmune overlap
• Sleep disruption, cortisol dysregulation, or mood shifts linked to hormonal transition

Nutrition care is structured, lab-informed, and designed to integrate with medical and psychological treatment plans. I specialize in helping patients who are struggling to follow nutrition recommendations actually implement and sustain nutrition care plans.

Assessments may include inflammatory markers (CRP, ESR), ferritin and iron studies, vitamin D, zinc, thyroid markers, fasting insulin, glucose metrics, and gut-related markers when clinically appropriate. Interventions prioritize immune modulation, metabolic stability, and preservation of lean mass.

Yes, this is a primary focus within my practice.

I am based in Annapolis, Maryland and see patients throughout the Annapolis, Baltimore, and Washington DC areas. I also offer telehealth nutrition services that are available nationwide. 

Referrals may be made by contacting Nadler Nutrition directly or by sharing the referral links at the top of this page with patients.

For specialty medical and mental health practices seeking to integrate advanced nutrition support without building an in-house department, I offer an embedded, collaborative nutrition model.

This structure allows practices to provide patients with high-level, lab-informed medical nutrition therapy under a coordinated care framework, while my team operates independently as a contracted specialist.

How It Works

• We function as a dedicated nutrition partner aligned with your clinical philosophy
• Patients experience seamless care coordination within your practice ecosystem
• We maintain independent licensure, liability coverage, and clinical documentation
• Care plans are developed in collaboration with the referring provider
• Communication flows directly between our teams to ensure continuity

From the patient’s perspective, nutrition care feels integrated within your specialty practice. From an operational standpoint, my team functions as independent contractors with our own business infrastructure.

This model is particularly effective for:
• Functional or integrative clinics
• Gastroenterology practices
• Pediatric behavioral health or psychology groups
• Women’s health/OBGYN and perimenopause specialty practices
• Rheumatology practices

• Concierge or cash-pay medical practices

Scope of Embedded Services

Embedded nutrition services may include:

• Lab-informed medical nutrition therapy
• Advanced case review and documentation
• Condition-specific nutrition protocols
• Co-branded educational materials
• Case collaboration meetings
• Ongoing metabolic and inflammatory monitoring

This model allows specialty practices to expand their clinical impact while maintaining a cohesive patient experience.

Why Practices Choose This Model

• No need to hire and manage full-time nutrition staff
• No overhead for benefits or payroll
• Access to highly specialized, niche autoimmune, neuroimmune, and metabolic expertise
• Enhanced patient outcomes
• Increased patient retention within your practice

Partnership structures are customized to align with practice goals and regulatory considerations.
