Nutritious Lifestyles

The position is flexible with scheduling. The facilities, in my experience, had some pretty amazing people to meet, work with, and learn from. I appreciated my independence. I appreciated the challenge and responsibility and assertiveness that only working independently can pose and strengthen...... but this company, despite some great people within it and contracted with, is ran/owned by an individual who is negative, controlling, and thrives in others discomfort. Teamwork and a sense of support is not promoted. I can assure you I am not exaggerating. You are nothing to her other than a replaceable employee. She will tell you that you are replaceable to your face but likely behind your back. She is not a person of integrity. She will make fun of you, belittle you, and speak condescendingly. This is not rumor this is personal experience. The turnover rate speaks volumes of the negative environment she PROMOTES. Additionally, be prepared for her to let you go without a second thought. You think you will be an exception? You won't be.. and there will be no one to defend you. Good luck.

This organization has a great vision but continues to have very poor communication between staff as well as disorganization. There are a ton of questions you will come across on a daily basis that you may not have an answer to and depending on your supervisor, they may or may not be very approachable. This job is very fast paced, requires a ton of organization, and superb communication skills with upper management and staff. New dietitians may have difficulty with this if their prior experience didn’t involve these type of skills. You’ll work with many facilities/patients that leave you heart broken on their treatment. You may not visit more than 1x/month, leaving tons of assessments/audits/issues to work on which become nearly unmanageable. Driving to various facilities and being flexible can be difficult if you want a set schedule but it seems there is always work to be done. Your schedule can be flexible most of the time but you must be available at a whim for changes. So if you are looking to WORK, look no further! 

I left my clinical job to pursue LTC experience since i didn’t have much in my DI. It was cool at first with the minimum workload but they kept piling work on expecting you to be 100% accurate. My pay started to fall and I was soon replaced. There wasn’t a warning as to me being terminated yet I attended monthly audits where my work was constantly reviewed. I didn’t like this company but i loved every food service manager I worked with at each facility. Don’t come here if you don’t like working under stressful conditions. ALSO, i was told prior to working i would only travel to the location that was 45min away from my house ONCE per week which ultimately turned into 3x week WITH reduced pay. I should’ve seen the signs but hopefully this will shed light to someone else.

Working for Nutritious Lifestyles (NLS) has been one of the best professional experiences I’ve had. I truly appreciate the flexibility this job provides and the opportunity to visit different facilities—it keeps each day interesting and has allowed me to grow my skills in ways I never expected.

Through NLS, I’ve gained valuable experience across the full spectrum of care, from pediatrics to geriatrics, as well as in behavioral health settings. The variety has made me a stronger, more well-rounded clinician.

Most importantly, I have never felt more heard, supported, and valued than I do with NLS. Leadership listens, communicates, and genuinely cares about both their employees and the residents we serve.

I’m grateful to be part of a company that invests in my growth and gives me the autonomy to thrive.

I have been working for Nutritious Lifestyles for 2  years now.  I like the flexibility of the job, where i make my own schedule, I  don't get holiday pay but with the flexibility I have, it's not necessary because  I can still take the day off and work those hours another day and don't have to use my PTO time.   There is some traveling involved between  the facilities during the month but this is something i knew beforehand, when i was hired.  
The company owner provides growth opportunities within the company like management, becoming a trainer, speaking engagements and others. Which i have taken advantage of and acquired new skill set because of it.  They also provide monthly CEU's and other employee perks. 

I enjoy my job, i love working with my patients and providing them the best care i can give them.

Nutritious Lifestyles has provided a strong pathway for growth as both a dietitian and a professional. There is a good balance of autonomy and support, and  you’re able to take ownership of your work while having access to coaching and guidance when needed. The variety of patients, conditions, and clinical teams offers valuable exposure and helps expand your skill set.

The role is independent, but support from supervisors, account managers, and leadership is consistent and accessible. The open-door culture is genuine, and the environment is encouraging for developing both confidence and competency.

I’ve enjoyed overall working for this company. The flexible  schedule is great and I’m  able to work independently. Lots of opportunities within the company (consultant for hospitals or SNF, menu planning, management, marketing, public speaking engagements, etc) Management continues to improve and is shifting towards employee-focused/culture. This job is fast paced and difficult to meet standards/goals based on clients needs/budget at times. NLS has unlimited resources and tools to help you. They will help you reach for career goals (ie - help you get a new certification, like CDE, or specialize in a practice group).

This company is very unprofessional. Management does not care about their employees. They do not train their staff! They expect you to know everything about consulting in a week. You basically work by yourself. The DTRs are expected to do the work of the dietitian but want to pay you as a DTR. You basically have to be available 24/7 and work over hours without being paid. Very unethical management! They talk down on employees. They promise a lot when the reality is totally different. If you are looking for an entry level job this is not it! If you are OK working over hours without compensation and traveling everywhere then do it! and if you want to be miserable and have no life!

I have been working for Nutritious Lifestyles for four years. It was my first job as an entry-level dietitian. I felt they provided good onboard trining when I first started, and they have progressively gotten better with it over the years. My job has flexed between full time hours and part time. They've worked with me to give me the hours I can handle. If you are someone who does not work independently, and requires a lot of help and oversight, this may not be for you. I feel there are growth opportunities within the company, but I have not personally experienced much. Mainly because I choose to stay part time with my hours. The company has grown a lot since I was hired. I don't see it slowing down anytime soon!

Working for Nutritious Lifestyles has been a wonderful opportunity. I have a flexible schedule, tremendous support from my supervisor and so many resources available for my day to day use. If you show initiative there is great support to advance your role with the company. They will support you with your short term and long term goals. As a consultant you get to work in a variety of facilities and care settings. It can be a fast-paced environment but it is very rewarding. They provide free CEUs and access to the latest research/regulations. I am very happy to be a Nutritious Lifestyles employee.
