The Foundation of the NLA is proud to partner with dietitians certified as Lipid Specialists to provide free nutrition counseling services to patients in California, Florida, and South Carolina.
A Lipid Specialist is a healthcare professional certified by the Accreditation Council for Clinical Lipidology (ACCL) for specializing in the diagnosis and management of dyslipidemia and related metabolic disorders which may lead to heart disease and other illnesses.
If you are 18 years of age or older, currently reside in California, Florida, or South Carolina, and have an annual household income of less than $120,000, you are eligible to apply for financial assistance to receive up to 4 hours
of nutrition counseling. As part of the application process, you will be required to submit a letter of endorsement from your physician. This endorsement letter is provided in lieu of collecting personal health information.

There is no deadline to apply. The Foundation will review all applications as they are received and will select up to 10 applicants.
