Certified Nutrition Specialist

Certified Nutrition Specialist (CNS)
Capitated Model | Contract / Remote (US-Only)

About The Role

Mochi Medical, originally founded as an obesity management practice, is expanding its virtual care model beyond weight management. We're looking for Certified Nutrition Specialists who are committed to delivering high-quality, accessible, and affordable medical nutrition therapy alongside our Registered Dietitian Nutritionists. While obesity and metabolic health remain core areas of focus, our providers also support patients in areas such as dermatology, hormone replacement therapy, depression and anxiety, longevity, and hair loss. You will guide patients through their health journey with personalized, evidence-based nutrition care as part of a physician-led team.

What You'll Do

• Conduct one-on-one virtual medical nutrition therapy and nutrition counseling visits, including personalized meal planning.
• Provide nutrition counseling that supports patients across multiple specialty areas and recognizes the link between nutrition and whole-body health.
• Build rapport, credibility, and engagement with patients through exceptional communication.
• Use motivational interviewing to guide patients toward sustainable lifestyle change.
• Document visits in our EMR using our nutrition note templates.
• Stay current with research on obesity medicine, GLP-1 therapy and nutrition, binge eating disorder, and emerging specialty areas.
• Practice only in states where you are legally permitted to provide MNT and only with patients located in those states.
• Adapt to a fast-paced startup environment and contribute to team-wide improvements.
