How a Hematology Dietitian Can Help
Blood disorders affect more than lab values. They affect your energy, your recovery, and how your body handles everyday demands. A hematology dietitian helps translate your diagnosis into a food plan that actually supports your treatment. At Coastal Nutrition Counseling, our team of dietitians works with patients managing iron deficiency anemia, sickle cell anemia, and other blood-related conditions. You can meet with us at our Huntington, Long Island office or connect through telehealth from anywhere in the country.
Iron deficiency anemia
We help patients build eating patterns that improve iron absorption and address the underlying dietary gaps contributing to low iron levels. We refer for iron infusions,
when necessary.
Vitamin B12 and folate deficiency
Our dietitians identify food sources and supplementation strategies to correct these deficiencies and support red blood cell production.
Sickle cell anemia
We work with patients to build nutrition plans that support hydration, energy needs, and overall health alongside sickle cell management.
Blood clotting disorders
Our team addresses how diet interacts with clotting medications and blood clotting disorders, helping patients navigate food choices safely alongside their treatment plan.
Insurance Coverage for Hematology Nutrition Counseling
Most nutrition counseling visits are covered by insurance with no cost to you. We're in-network with The Empire Plan, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Northwell Direct, Meritain Health, Emblem Health, United Healthcare, Oxford, and Cigna.
