Let your insurance plan pay for your personal dietitian

Expert nutrition counseling is a game-changer for your health, but high costs have made it inaccessible for many. What if you could get that expert guidance without the financial burden?

Fay was founded on a simple but powerful premise: your health insurance should help you stay healthy. Most people don't realize their plan likely covers sessions with a Registered Dietitian, often with little to no co-pay. 

Fay makes it easy to unlock this benefit by matching you with a top-tier dietitian who is in-network with your insurance provider, including major plans from UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, and hundreds more. Stop paying out-of-pocket for generic advice.

1. The Foil Trick for a Fresh Iron

If your iron has sticky gunk or scorch marks, don’t toss it, fix it!

While it’s hot, run the surface in little circles over a sheet of aluminum foil for about 30 seconds.

The foil scrubs away residue, leaving your iron smooth and shiny again. Bonus: you’ll glide through your laundry like it’s brand new.

2. The Lemon-Steam Microwave Makeover

Microwave smelling funky? No need for harsh cleaners.

Just fill a bowl with water and lemon slices, then zap it on high for 2–3 minutes. The citrus steam loosens stubborn food splatters and leaves your kitchen smelling like sunshine.

After 30 seconds, wipe it down,and enjoy that squeaky-clean, fresh-baked-lemon vibe.

3. The Shovel That Snow Won’t Stick To

Winter mornings can be rough, but this one makes life a bit easier.

Before heading out, spray your snow shovel with a light coat of cooking oil. It acts like a non-stick pan, snow just slides right off!

Less clumping, less lifting, and way less frustration. Work smarter, not harder, and get back inside faster to warm up with some cocoa.
