Registered Dietitian (California) - GI disorders

About SideBy Care

SideBy Care is the first AI-supported virtual care service for GI practices and clients with Crohn's, colitis, and Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction (DGBI).

Because the gut and brain constantly communicate through nerves, hormones, and chemicals, stress directly triggers GI symptoms (cramping, bloating, diarrhea), while gut issues simultaneously impact mood. We break this cycle by providing insurance-covered gut-brain therapy alongside diet and lifestyle support. Backed by scalable technology and behavioral science, more than 92% of our clients report quality of life and symptom improvement during the program.

Founded by individuals with lived experience, our purpose-built, personalized, and empathetic program delivers life-changing outcomes. We are seeking a highly motivated, self-directed Registered Dietitian (RD) to join our multidisciplinary team and play a leading role in helping individuals heal from the inside out.
