GLP-1 Nutrition Dietitian for Miami & South Florida

Independent, credentialed, muscle-first

Most GLP-1 "nutrition support" comes from one of three places: a weight-loss app, a company that's also selling you the drug, or an insurance marketplace that rotates you between interchangeable providers. None of them is a single, named clinician who reads your labs and owns your results. That's the gap Vitae Arete fills, and it's the same rigorous standard whether you're in Brickell, Coral Gables, or out in Kendall.

• One named expert. You work directly with a registered dietitian (MS, RDN, LDN) with a clinical and oncology background, not a rotating roster or a chatbot.
• Independent of the prescription. I don't sell the medication, so the advice is about you, not an upsell. Your prescriber manages the drug; I manage the nutrition that makes it work.
• Muscle is the priority. Up to a quarter to a third of GLP-1 weight loss can be muscle without the right plan. Protecting it is the difference between losing weight and losing strength and metabolism. (the evidence on GLP-1 muscle loss.)

Care that respects how Miami eats

South Florida food is culture, not just calories. A plan that tells you to abandon the dishes at the center of family life is a plan you won't keep, and I don't build those. The work is to fit your protein target and side-effect strategy into the meals you already love, so the plan bends around your table instead of the other way around.

• Food-respectful, not food-replacing. We adapt around the cuisine you eat at home and out, rather than swapping it for a bland template.
• Culturally aware care. An approach mindful of the food and family traditions common across a diverse, largely bilingual metro, with written plans you can review at your own pace and share with whoever does the cooking.
• Built for busy professionals. Miami runs on international business and long days; the plan is designed to survive travel, restaurants, and a schedule that rarely sits still.

What working together looks like

Every plan is built around your medication, your dose, your labs, and your real life, not a generic handout:

• A protein protocol that hits the target needed to preserve muscle, made achievable on a suppressed appetite.
• Side-effect management. Practical strategies for nausea, early fullness, constipation, and the rough days after a dose increase.
• Clinician-ordered labs to see what's actually happening beneath the scale, with a supplement plan only where it's warranted.
• A maintenance plan so the weight you lose is the weight that stays off, including how to come off the medication well.

Serving Miami and South Florida by telehealth

Care is delivered entirely by secure video, so you work with the practice remotely from anywhere in Miami-Dade or Broward. In a metro where a cross-town appointment can eat an hour each way, that's a real advantage: no drive to a clinic, no waiting room, no I-95 or 826 traffic, just a private visit that fits between meetings or after the kids are down. You get the same clinical depth whether you're in Miami Beach or Homestead.

Common questions

Do you have an office in Miami?

There's no walk-in Miami office. Vitae Arete is a telehealth practice: I'm Jason Fee, MS, RDN, LDN, an Orlando-based registered dietitian who sees Miami and South Florida patients by secure video. That means no drive down to a clinic and no I-95 traffic, just a private appointment from wherever you are in Miami-Dade or Broward.

Can you work around Latin and Caribbean food, not just replace it?

Yes. Food in South Florida is family and identity, not just fuel, and the goal is to fit your protein and side-effect plan into the meals you already love rather than hand you a generic menu. The approach is culturally aware and food-respectful: we adapt the plan to how you actually eat at home and out.

Is the practice available in Spanish?

Care is provided in English, with an approach that's culturally aware and respectful of the food and family traditions common across Miami. Written plans and resources can be shared in a form you can review at your own pace and, if it helps, translate for family who cook with you.

Do you prescribe Ozempic or other GLP-1 medications?

No. A dietitian doesn't prescribe medication; your physician or prescriber manages that. I handle the nutrition side: protein to protect muscle, managing side effects, and building a plan that makes the medication work and the results last.

Do you take insurance?

Consultations are private-pay. Many clients use HSA or FSA funds, and superbills for potential out-of-network reimbursement are available on request.
