Welcome to Insight Nutrition & Wellness Counseling

My name is Rey Arlen

I’m a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist with a focus on integrative functional nutrition for digestive issues, hormone imbalances, and general wellness. I’m very passionate about working collaboratively with my clients towards feeling better in their bodies and lives.

How can I help?

Let me ask, do you:

  • Feel tired most of the time or have an energy crash at midday?

  • Struggle with gas, bloating, abdominal pain, heartburn, constipation, or diarrhea that doesn’t clear up?

    • If you’ve been diagnosed with or suspect IBS, Crohn’s, Colitis, SIBO, Candida, etc- I’m talking to you!

  • Worry about your weight and need a new approach?

  • Experience symptoms related to PCOS, PMDD, or hypothyroid?

  • Have trouble concentrating or experiencing brain fog?

  • Suspect you have food intolerances or sensitivities?

  • Feel lost about what’s “healthy” or if you need supplements?

  • Want to be a better advocate for yourself with your doctor?

If this sounds like you, then let’s work together!

Insight nutrition’s origin story

Insight Nutrition & Wellness Counseling was born in response to a need for comprehensive and collaborative healthcare. Rey was concerned with the traditional medical approach of providers instructing patients rather than engaging them.

Rey’s approach aims to empower clients. This requires spending time and asking thoughtful questions that support the client to play an informed and active role in their health journey. Rey supports a trauma-informed and integrative perspective that aims to find or treat the root causes of many conditions and health challenges. 

Indigenous Land Acknowledgement

Insight Nutrition & Wellness Counseling is based in Cambridge, MA with a satellite office in Hyattsville, MD. I acknowledge the lands upon which I stand and work as a sacred place for the peoples of the Pawtucket and Nacotchtank (Anacostan) nations, respectively. 

I speak this land acknowledgment as a person of West African, Taino-Kiskeya, and Iberian ancestry who is dedicated to working toward an equitable food system that honors regenerative ecology and the healing nature of air, water, land, and food as medicine.
