Registered Dietitian (Bilingual)
WFA Digital Insight
WellTheory is carving a niche in the functional‑nutrition space, and this opening reflects that focus. The role isn’t a classic clinical dietitian job; it blends traditional Medical Nutrition Therapy with a deep dive into lab‑driven, anti‑inflammatory protocols. Candidates will be expected to navigate both the science of autoimmune care and the technology of remote health delivery, which means comfort with telehealth platforms and functional lab results is essential. The bilingual requirement opens the position to a broader member base, allowing nuanced communication in both English and Spanish. Prospects should be ready to contribute to a startup culture that values autonomy, rapid iteration, and a willingness to shape processes from the ground up.
