Nourish: Telehealth nutrition with registered dietitians

Nourish is a telehealth nutrition counseling platform that connects patients with Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs). The company operates in all 50 U.S. states and has a network of more than 9,000 dietitians — the website also mentions more than 10,000 providers — who address dozens of health conditions and goals. The service relies on insurance coverage verification and a proprietary app for tracking between sessions.

How the care program works

The process begins with sign-up and insurance verification. The patient then browses the dietitian directory, chooses the professional who fits their needs, and books a telehealth appointment via Zoom. The first session is a comprehensive assessment in which the dietitian learns about the patient's health history, goals, and lifestyle and builds a personalized care plan. Follow-up sessions put that plan into action with ongoing coaching, accountability, and adjustments over time. Between appointments, the patient can message their dietitian, log meals, track progress, and access recipes and resources through the app.

The company notes that most patients meet with their dietitian weekly or biweekly at the start of care, with initial and follow-up sessions lasting 50 to 60 minutes. As habits become established, many people space out appointments to monthly check-ins. There are no minimums or commitments: the care plan is flexible and adjusts as needs change.

Insurance coverage and patient cost

Nourish states that its dietitians are in network with hundreds of insurance policies in all 50 states and that 94% of patients pay $0 out of pocket. The platform handles insurance verification and claim submissions. The site lets you check coverage by entering your state and insurance carrier, or by indicating that you are paying for yourself or that your insurance is not listed.

Reported clinical outcomes

The website presents average patient data after twelve months of follow-up: 8% weight loss among those not using GLP-1 agonists, a 1.3-point reduction in hemoglobin A1c, a 27 mg/dL decrease in LDL cholesterol, and a 21 mmHg drop in systolic blood pressure. It also includes testimonials from patients with different profiles, such as a person with prediabetes who lost 40 pounds, a patient with an eating disorder, and a sports nutrition and digestive health patient.

Dietitian specialties and profiles

The provider directory shows dietitians with credentials such as RDN, LDN, MS, RD, CD, CDCES, NBC-HWC, IBCLC, or CPT, among others, and areas of specialization spanning cardiovascular health, digestive health, diabetes or prediabetes, hypothyroidism, menopause, weight loss, fertility, GLP-1 use, high cholesterol, anorexia, celiac disease, irritable bowel syndrome, Crohn's disease, and sports nutrition, among others. Each profile includes patient ratings.

The app and tracking between sessions

The Nourish app lets you track macros and long-term goals, log meals with photos, manage and join Zoom appointments, and access lab results from a local clinic to review with your dietitian. It also offers a 24/7 AI assistant to answer questions about nutrition goals between appointments.

Professionals and organizations

In addition to patient care, Nourish offers specific pathways for dietitians who want to join the network, for professionals who want to refer patients, and for employers and health plans. The company maintains a blog with nutrition content and has announced a $100 million Series C funding round to develop an AI-native metabolic clinic.
