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.

The Kitchen Fix for Minor Burns

Burned yourself on a hot stove or pan? Skip the ice and try a quick dab of mustard or toothpaste on the affected area. Both can help cool the skin and reduce the sting for small, surface burns until you can rinse with cool water. It’s not just a kitchen fix—it’s a “why didn’t I know this sooner?” moment.

Clears a Stuffy Nose in Seconds

Next time your nose feels like it’s been cemented shut, try this: Press your tongue against the roof of your mouth while gently pressing a finger between your eyebrows. Hold for about 20 seconds. This little pressure combo helps stimulate nerves and drain your sinuses—giving you a breath of fresh air without medicine.

The Sleep Secret That Boosts Your Metabolism

Your body isn’t just resting at night—it’s recharging your metabolism. If you get less than 6 hours of sleep regularly, your metabolism can drop by up to 15%, making it harder to burn calories and stay energized. So, treat sleep like a superpower—because it is! Aim for 7–8 hours to keep your body running like a high-performance engine.
