What Is Nutritionist Insurance?
Nutritionist insurance is a smart protection plan that safeguards your work as a nutritionist. It’s designed to protect you from risks that can take a costly toll on your business.

At Insurance Canopy, we make it easy for you to protect the hard work you’ve put into your career with comprehensive nutritionist insurance coverage.
By insuring your nutritionist business, you can confidently do what you do best — promoting wellness through education and helping individuals achieve their nutrition goals — without worrying about everyday risks.
How Much Does Nutritionist Insurance Cost?
Our nutritionist insurance coverage starts at $241 a year, or $21.83 a month. For as little as 66 cents a day, you can protect your business with General Liability and Professional Liability Insurance.

What Coverage Do I Need As a Nutritionist?
As a practicing nutritionist, you should carry both general and professional liability to protect your business from risks. Both are included in our base nutritionist insurance policy.
General liability insurance can cover risks like damage to rented property, accidents that cause client injury, or even problems due to advertising mistakes.
Professional liability insurance, or “errors and omissions,” helps cover you if a client claims your professional services or advice harmed them.
Other Coverages to Consider
- Diet and nutrition endorsement for additional services you might offer, such as creating meal plans and diet guidelines for clients, or recommending supplements
- Gear and equipment (aka inland marine) protection which can help cover your work laptop, scales, and other supplies if they’re stolen or damaged
- Cyber liability coverage to help cover the costs if your clients’ data is stolen or if you fall victim to a scam
You may also need to add additional insureds to your policy if you rent office space or work at a fitness or medical center. With nutritionist insurance coverage from Insurance Canopy, you can do this right through your online dashboard at checkout, or any time afterward.
Insurance Canopy’s top-rated coverage enables you to work confidently and focus on your clients’ needs.
Note: Our dietitian insurance policy is an add-on to our fitness instructor policy that provides coverage to dietitians and nutritionists offering diet guidelines, meal plans, or the sale/recommendation of supplements. It is offered as a policy package starting at $241/year.

Questions About Nutritionist Insurance
Do I Need Nutritionist Liability Insurance?
Yes! As a practicing nutritionist, you need to carry nutritionist liability insurance to protect your financial assets against malpractice suits and other third-party liability claims as a result of your business operations.
Your work in the health and wellness industry is important — first-class liability insurance from Insurance Canopy helps keep it safe.
What Risks Do I Face As a Nutritionist?
You care about your clients and are dedicated to supporting their health journeys. But regardless of your best intentions, you face many risks throughout your practice as a nutritionist.
These worst-case scenarios can happen at any moment, so arm yourself with liability insurance tailored to your unique business needs.
Here are some common risks insurance can help cover:
- Negligence claims: If a client becomes ill after following a meal plan you created for them, they may decide to sue you, claiming your advice was negligent. Nutritionist malpractice insurance* (aka “errors and omissions” or professional liability insurance) could help cover the cost of this claim.
- Slip-and-fall incidents: Imagine a client slipping on water in your office and breaking an ankle—accidents happen! General liability insurance can help cover the cost of their medical expenses and more if they decide to pursue legal action.
- Property damage claims: Say you’re testing a recipe that requires a food processor in your office kitchen. The wiring overheats and causes a small fire that damages the property you rent. Damage to premises rented (included in your base dietician insurance policy) may help with all the repair costs for this.
- Stolen gear claims: You may be traveling between your office and a client’s home and happen to have your work laptop, scales, and other gear stolen from your car. If you’ve purchased the optional gear and equipment coverage, you could be covered for this loss.
*Note: To ensure this type of protection, make sure you add the Diet & Nutrition coverage when applying online.
Why Should I Carry Nutritionist Liability Insurance?
Carrying liability insurance as a nutritionist protects you from expensive “what if” moments. It demonstrates that you’re dedicated to your business and your clients’ well-being.
It also gives you peace of mind so that you can continue your work of offering nutrition education and helping clients achieve their wellness goals.
