General Nutrition Program
A 4-week roadmap to better eating habits — built around small, repeatable changes. Registered-dietitian telehealth visits, FSA-eligible groceries, and nudges timed to your benefits, not a fad.
What Is General Nutrition Education?
General nutrition education is whole-food, condition-agnostic guidance on how to eat well — plate composition, label reading, hydration, cooking, and grocery habits. It's not a diet and it's not tied to a specific medication or condition: it's the foundational layer that makes every other wellness program work better.
Why it matters at work. Diet quality accounts for more U.S. deaths per year than any other modifiable risk factor, including smoking. Employees who eat well have lower healthcare costs, fewer missed days, and stronger engagement with every other benefit in this library. NudgeWell builds the habit one nudge at a time.
How NudgeWell Helps
🍏 Registered-Dietitian Telehealth Nudges
RD visits are an ACA preventive care benefit — $0 copay on most plans. CPT codes 97802 (initial), 97803 (follow-up), and 97804 (group) make individual and group sessions reimbursable. NudgeWell surfaces the benefit when an employee's FSA balance or wellness-app activity suggests they're ready.
ACA Preventive · CPT 97802/97803 · $0 copay on most plans🛒 FSA Grocery-Routing Reminders
For employees with active FSA balances and year-end forfeiture risk, NudgeWell pushes grocery routing toward FSA-eligible healthy food programs: Healthy FSA card at CSA pickups, Instacart Healthy FSA, and select Medicare Advantage grocery allowances. Maximizes the dollar before it disappears.
FSA-eligible · Healthy FSA · Year-end urgency📱 Wellness App Activation (MyFitnessPal Premium)
Most employer wellness stipends cover MyFitnessPal Premium, Noom, or similar food-tracking apps. NudgeWell triggers activation nudges when an employee's behavioral segment shows low engagement but high benefits eligibility — turning a free benefit into a daily habit.
Employer Wellness Stipend · FSA-eligible · Activation nudge🧬 Hydration & Meal-Prep Micro-Nudges
Daily text or email nudges around hydration, breakfast protein, and meal-prep weekends — timed to the employee's preferred channel and delivery window. Low-friction habits that compound. NudgeWell measures open-rate and self-reported adherence to refine the cadence.
Daily · Channel-preferred · Low-friction4-Week Roadmap
Nutrition education works best in small, repeatable increments. NudgeWell sequences the program across four weeks so each habit stacks on the last.
Week 1 · Build the Plate
Half vegetables, quarter protein, quarter whole grains. Book your first RD visit (CPT 97802, $0 ACA copay). Two nudges: morning + evening.
Week 2 · Read the Label
Five-ingredient rule. Spot added sugar under 8 aliases. Activate FSA-eligible food-tracking app. RD follow-up (CPT 97803) for label review.
Week 3 · Cook & Prep
Sunday two-hour meal prep block. CSA or Instacart Healthy FSA grocery order. Hydration target: half body weight (lbs) in ounces.
Week 4 · Sustain the Habit
RD session to set the long-term plan. LMN on file for any continued LMN-eligible grocery benefits. Quarterly check-in nudge cadence.

Your Action Steps
- Book your first RD visit. Registered-dietitian visits are ACA preventive care — $0 copay on most plans. Use CPT 97802 to start; ask your PCP if a referral is needed.
- Activate your wellness-app stipend. Log into your employer wellness portal and claim MyFitnessPal Premium or a peer program — it's covered, but most employees never claim it.
- Use FSA before year-end. If you have remaining FSA funds, Healthy FSA grocery cards and food sensitivity testing (with LMN) are high-value uses. NudgeWell will remind you if your balance is at risk of forfeiture.
- Get the LMN template. Download the Letter of Medical Necessity from the NudgeWell employee portal to use FSA funds for food sensitivity testing or vitamin/mineral supplementation.
