Remote SideBy Care Registered Dietitian (IL)

Location: Remote (must have Illinois state licensure) 

Compensation: $35-$45/hr 

Part-Time

 

SideBy Care is the first AI-powered virtual care service for GI practices and their clients with Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction (DGBI). Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction (like IBS) affect over 100 M people in the US alone.

Our gut and brain are closely connected through a network of nerves, hormones, and chemicals. They constantly communicate with each other, which is why stress or anxiety can cause symptoms like cramping, bloating, diarrhea, etc. Similarly, gut problems can affect mood and stress levels, creating a cycle that impacts both our digestive and mental health.

SideBy Care provides gut-brain therapy with diet & lifestyle support in a virtual care service covered by insurance. 92% of clients report symptom improvement by 6 weeks!

SideBy Care leverages scalable technology & behavioral science-backed approaches to uncover root causes and promote lifelong health. We understand the complexities and challenges associated with functional GI disorders/DGBI because we have been there ourselves. This combination of experience and expertise has culminated in a purpose built, personalized, and client-first care program that offers guidance, support, empathy, and improved outcomes for those we serve.
