Remote Registered Dietitian (RDN) — Plant-Based MNT Build Your Own Schedule

Build your schedule. We'll fill your caseload.

Most remote dietitian roles ask you to hustle for your own clients. We don't.

Nutrition as Therapy, Inc. has delivered plant-based Medical Nutrition Therapy since 2007. Our team of 25+ RDNs works from a steady, scheduled patient panel starting day one — no marketing yourself, no building a book of business, no wondering whether tomorrow's calendar will be empty. You show up and practice.

Where our patients are

Most of our patients are in California, with a growing panel in Texas. We're actively credentialing in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, Ohio, Illinois, and Colorado — so if you're licensed or licensable in any of those, tell us.

What the work actually looks like

You'll deliver evidence-based Medical Nutrition Therapy with a plant-forward approach to patients managing type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, obesity, chronic kidney disease, and pediatric nutrition.

We'll be direct about the pace, because it's the thing most candidates want to know and rarely get told:

  • 53-minute initial assessments · 23-minute follow-ups
  • Roughly one patient every 30 minutes during a shift
  • Documentation is clean, structured SOAP notes — and administrative burden is deliberately kept light so your time goes to patients, not paperwork

This is a real clinical cadence. If you're an RDN who finds a full, well-run schedule energizing rather than draining, you'll do well here. If you prefer 90-minute sessions and a light panel, we're honestly not the right fit — and we'd rather say that now.

You'll work independently, but not alone: you're supported by a Program Director, a clinical Lead, and a team of fellow RDNs doing the same work.

Pay, and how you move within the band

$35–$55/hour, based on years of MNT experience, specialty credentials (CDCES, CSR, CSP, CSOWM), and demonstrated depth in plant-based practice. We'll tell you at offer exactly where you land and what moves you up.

Spanish-English bilingual clinicians receive a pay differential. Our patient population needs you, and we compensate for it.

Benefits

  • 401(k) with employer matching
  • Health insurance
  • Paid time off
  • Real schedule flexibility (below)
  • On-call shifts are paid — whether or not you're called in

You build your own schedule

Choose your working days. Choose your shift length: 3, 4, 5, or 6 hours. Mix and match to reach a minimum of 30 hours per two-week pay period, up to 5 shifts per week.

What we're looking for

  • Active RDN credential in good standing with the Commission on Dietetic Registration (CDR). We verify CDR status before the phone screen — please make sure yours is current.
  • Hands-on MNT experience across chronic disease: diabetes, CVD, obesity, CKD, and/or pediatrics
  • A real foundation in plant-based and plant-forward nutrition — this isn't a preference we hold, it's how we practice
  • Efficiency and confidence carrying a full schedule
  • Comfort with telehealth technology in a fast-moving virtual environment
  • Spanish fluency — strongly preferred and compensated
