The practice
What NutritionRx is.
What is NutritionRx?
NutritionRx is a clinical nutrition practice in Brookline, Massachusetts founded by Alexis Beck, MPH, RD, LDN. Alexis treats medical obesity as the chronic medical condition it is, alongside the patient’s prescribing physician. Active Massachusetts License LDN #885NU.
How is NutritionRx different from a regular dietitian or nutritionist?
Most dietitians work in fifteen-minute insurance-billed visits with a meal plan and a recheck in three months. NutritionRx is a private-pay clinical practice. Sixty-minute sessions. An assessment phase before any GLP-1 prescription. Multi-year continuity. The same standard as any other medical specialty.
What do you actually treat?
Medical obesity, including chronic weight gain, perimenopausal and postmenopausal weight, metabolic syndrome, GLP-1 nutrition support, vitamin therapy and protein optimization, and disordered eating recovery in collaboration with your therapist or psychiatrist.
The work
How the treatment actually goes.
What happens during the Assessment Phase?
The Three-Phase Assessment is the careful, sensitive, thorough work that comes before any recommendation. Medical and behavioral history. Hearing the challenge of your obesity. The metabolic and inflammatory read with labs and body composition. The synthesis. By the end, there is a clear picture and a plan built specifically from it.
Do you prescribe medications, including GLP-1s or HRT?
No. Alexis is a Registered Dietitian, not a physician. She works alongside the physician who does prescribe, sharing notes and lab review so the medication and the nutrition are pulling in the same direction.
Will you coordinate with my doctor?
Yes. Most of Alexis’s patients have a primary-care physician, an endocrinologist, a cardiologist, a bariatric specialist, or a psychiatrist already on the case. She sends clinical notes, shares labs, and works as part of your care team, not parallel to it.
Cost & access
Pricing and the application.
Is this insurance-billed?
No. NutritionRx is private-pay only. Most patients work with us for two and a half to five years, because that is how long sustained weight loss actually takes.
Are you accepting new patients?
Alexis accepts patients by application. Every prospective patient is reviewed personally before acceptance. The qualification takes less than a minute.
What if NutritionRx isn’t the right fit for me?
Alexis will tell you that. The qualification is built so she can read fit before either side commits time. If NutritionRx is not the right fit, she will say so directly. If it is, she will say that too.
Logistics
Where, when, how long.
Where is the office?
NutritionRx is located in Brookline, Massachusetts, serving Greater Boston. Patients also work with us virtually when in-person scheduling is not workable.
Are sessions in person or telehealth?
Both. New patients are seen in person for the initial assessment when possible. Continuing care can be in person, virtual, or a mix, depending on what fits the patient’s schedule and clinical needs.
How long is each session?
Sixty minutes. Long enough to actually do clinical work, not just take a brief check-in.
If you have a question Alexis missed,
the application is the place to ask.
Qualification takes less than a minute. Alexis reviews every submission personally and reads questions and context as part of the review.
