Job description

Help us build the future of healthy aging

Total Life is a national telehealth platform built for older adults. Today, we deliver behavioral health care to Medicare beneficiaries across 49 states through a network of 200+ credentialed providers. We were founded on a simple, personal belief: that the people who spent their lives caring for everyone else deserve care that actually meets them where they are.

We're now expanding into preventative, lifestyle, and longevity medicine — and nutrition is at the heart of it. We're hiring Registered Dietitians to help us build and deliver this care.

This is a ground-floor role. You won't be slotting into an existing clinic; you'll help shape one — the protocols, the patient journey, and the standard of care for online nutrition support for older adults.

What you'll do

  • Partner with older adults to assess nutritional needs and build personalized, evidence-based nutrition care plans
  • Deliver medical nutrition therapy and coaching grounded in lifestyle medicine — with a whole-food, predominantly plant-based emphasis, adapted to each patient's health, culture, and preferences
  • Support patients managing chronic conditions where nutrition is central (e.g., diabetes, cardiovascular and renal health, weight and metabolic health)
  • Anchor your work in the 4 M's of Age-Friendly care — What Matters, Medication, Mentation, and Mobility — so every plan reflects what's most important to the patient
  • Collaborate with our broader care team — lifestyle/longevity NPs, behavioral health, and primary care coordination — to support the whole person
  • Help shape the clinical model itself: protocols, intake, outcome measures, and the patient experience

Who you are

  • A Registered Dietitian (RD) or Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), credentialed by the Commission on Dietetic Registration, in good standing (required — this credential is necessary to provide and bill for medical nutrition therapy under Medicare)
  • Active state licensure/certification where required to practice
  • Experienced with, and energized by, caring for older adults
  • A natural coach: warm, motivating, and skilled at helping people make changes that last
  • Comfortable practicing via telehealth and excited by the pace of building something new
  • Mission-driven, collaborative, and ready to be a key voice on our clinical team

The model

  • 1099, part-time contractor — fits alongside existing work
  • Soft commitment starting around 10 hours/week, with room to grow as the patient panel builds
  • We manage credentialing, scheduling, and billing — including insurance collection risk, which is ours, not yours
  • Patients are primarily Medicare beneficiaries; 21+ population

Why this role is different

  • Your fingerprints will be on the entire nutrition model — protocols, standards, patient experience
  • You'll have time to actually care — relationships and outcomes, not rushed visits
  • You'll work with a team that's already delivered outcomes for older adults at national scale
  • 100% remote, with the flexibility of a telehealth-native company

At Total Life, we bring the calm of a clear plan to a stage of life that too often feels overwhelming.

How to apply
