Virelia Health connects nutritionists with opportunities across telehealth nutrition counseling, wellness nutrition coaching, and virtual nutrition education.
We are seeking qualified Nutritionists for remote opportunities supporting telehealth nutrition companies, corporate wellness programs, health systems, physician practices, and healthcare organizations.
A Remote Nutritionist (Telehealth) provides virtual nutrition counseling and nutrition coaching for wellness-focused clients. Working within their nutrition scope, the nutritionist conducts nutrition assessments, provides general nutrition counseling and coaching, develops meal planning guidance, and supports clients in achieving wellness nutrition goals through secure telehealth platforms.
This position is well-suited to an experienced nutritionist with wellness nutrition counseling knowledge, nutrition coaching skills, and virtual nutrition education experience who wants to work in a virtual setting — providing meaningful nutrition counseling with schedule flexibility and without the demands of a facility-based environment.
The specific nutrition focus, client population, and scope of responsibilities will depend on the employer and assignment.
This opportunity may be suitable for professionals searching for remote nutritionist jobs, work-from-home nutritionist jobs, virtual nutritionist jobs, telenutrition jobs, virtual nutrition counseling jobs, or telehealth nutritionist roles.
Virtual nutrition counseling runs on scheduled client sessions and nutrition documentation workflows, giving your workday predictability and structure. Programs typically offer daytime weekday coverage, with some programs supporting early-morning or early-evening client sessions. Many programs offer flexible 8- or 10-hour days, and some nutritionists work 4-day compressed weeks or part-time schedules. There are no facility floor assignments and no physical demands. We offer both full-time and part-time positions. Discuss your preferred schedule during your interview.
As a Remote Nutritionist, you may support virtual nutrition counseling across a range of virtual client encounters.
Virtual nutrition counseling is a growing area of healthcare — driven by increased demand for nutrition counseling, expanded telehealth coverage for virtual nutrition, and the recognition that nutritionists improve client nutrition outcomes through effective virtual counseling and coaching. Virtual nutritionists extend nutrition counseling reach, support clients in their communities, and improve nutrition and wellness outcomes across organizations.
Depending on the program, virtual nutrition counseling may focus on:
The nutritionist's role is to provide nutrition counseling within their nutrition scope — including nutrition assessment, nutrition counseling, nutrition coaching, nutrition education, nutrition goal setting, and nutrition documentation. Nutrition scope and credential requirements vary by state and employer; the nutritionist provides services within their credential and state regulations. Clinical decisions and Medical Nutrition Therapy remain with Registered Dietitians or the supervising clinical team; the nutritionist coordinates with care teams, wellness teams, and other clinicians.
This structure keeps the role focused on nutrition counseling, nutrition coaching, client education, documentation, and nutrition counseling quality.
Effective virtual nutrition counseling depends on strong nutrition counseling skills and behavior change expertise — the nutritionist's counseling skills and client-centered approach determine how to help clients achieve nutrition and wellness goals through effective nutrition counseling and coaching.
Depending on the program and client focus, you may support virtual nutrition counseling by:
Counseling expertise, nutrition knowledge, and clear communication are essential — nutritionists are the nutrition counseling professionals who help clients achieve nutrition and wellness goals through effective virtual counseling and coaching.
A Remote Nutritionist may follow a structured workflow across each virtual nutrition counseling encounter.
Depending on the employer's protocols, you may:
Virtual nutrition counseling directly affects client nutrition outcomes and client safety. All nutrition counseling must comply with nutritionist scope of practice, state licensure or certification requirements, evidence-based nutrition guidance, and organizational nutrition policy. Client concerns requiring clinical leadership input, client safety concerns, or nutrition counseling issues affecting client outcomes must be escalated following the employer's escalation protocol. Nutritionists must maintain HIPAA compliance and protect client data across all virtual nutrition counseling work.
Experience or certification in any of the following may be beneficial:
A typical day may begin by reviewing client intake forms, scheduled counseling sessions, and progress notes — checking virtual nutrition counseling priorities and client caseload.
You'll conduct nutrition assessments — completing nutrition assessments for new and returning clients, including diet history, goals, lifestyle factors, and nutrition knowledge.
You'll provide nutrition counseling and coaching — delivering general nutrition counseling, supporting behavior change, and developing individualized nutrition action plans.
Between counseling sessions, you'll support nutrition education, meal planning, and progress tracking, and document nutrition counseling accurately in nutrition documentation systems and EHR.
Throughout the day, you'll coordinate with care teams, wellness teams, and other clinicians, and support nutrition counseling compliance with nutritionist scope, state licensure or certification, and evidence-based guidance.
The role combines nutrition counseling, wellness coaching, client education, documentation, and nutrition counseling quality.
Unlike Registered Dietitian work, which requires RD/RDN credential and focuses on Medical Nutrition Therapy for clinical populations, nutritionist work focuses on general wellness nutrition counseling and nutrition coaching for wellness-focused clients — you're the nutrition counseling professional who helps clients achieve nutrition and wellness goals through effective virtual counseling and coaching.
This position is designed for remote virtual nutrition counseling delivery.
Depending on the employer, you may work with:
Candidates should have a stable internet connection suitable for video-based nutrition counseling, a private workspace suitable for confidential nutrition counseling work, and comfort with multiple telehealth, nutrition, and EHR systems.
