Consumer telehealth · Virtual dietitian and metabolic care
Nourish
Nourish is a virtual nutrition and metabolic health clinic that connects patients with registered dietitians by video, with lab testing and GLP-1 prescribing added for those who need them, and that bills insurance so most patients pay nothing out of pocket.
Strong fit
- Adults with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, weight concerns, or digestive problems who want regular sessions with a dietitian
- People with commercial insurance or Medicare who want their visits covered
- Patients on GLP-1 medications who want nutrition support alongside them
Weak fit
- People whose insurance does not cover nutrition visits, who face a self-pay fee per session
- Anyone who wants an in-person dietitian
- People who tend to miss appointments, since Nourish charges a no-show fee
Bottom line
Nourish connects people with chronic conditions to an insured registered dietitian by video, and now adds labs and GLP-1 prescribing through its own physicians. It is worth using for anyone whose insurance covers medical nutrition visits, since most patients pay nothing and the dietitians get strong reviews. Check your coverage first, because patients who are not covered have reported unexpected bills.

Nourish is used by adults who want help changing how they eat to manage a chronic condition, most often diabetes, prediabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, weight, or digestive problems. Patients sign up online, check their insurance, and meet a matched registered dietitian by video, then keep working with that dietitian through follow-up visits and an app for messaging and meal logging. Since 2026 the company has also hired physicians, so some patients can get lab tests and GLP-1 prescriptions in the same program, Fierce Healthcare reported.
On price, Nourish is at the low end for the patient, because it bills insurance. Its homepage says 94% of Nourish patients pay $0 out of pocket. That puts it in a different position from cash-pay weight programs such as Found and Calibrate, and closer to insurance-billed metabolic clinics such as Form Health. Its most direct competitor for dietitian visits is Fay, another insurance-billed dietitian service.
Aidan Dewar, Sam Perkins, and Stephanie Liu founded Nourish and launched it in November 2021, TechCrunch reported. In May 2026 it raised a $100 million Series C led by Menlo Ventures, bringing total funding to $215 million, according to its funding announcement, which says it has more than 10,000 registered dietitians, partnerships covering more than 200 million lives, and more than tripled year over year. Dewar told Fierce Healthcare the company became profitable in 2025. Nourish does not publish revenue; its annual revenue is an estimated $150 million.
Nourish reports company-published outcomes of 8% weight loss, a 1.3-point drop in A1C, and more than $2,000 a year in savings per patient for health plans. About 15% of its patients are on GLP-1 medications, and Nourish prescribes brand-name drugs through insurance, Dewar told Fierce Healthcare.
Patient reviews on Trustpilot mostly praise individual dietitians. The complaints are about billing and the app: patients whose insurance paid less than expected, a $75 no-show fee, and a 2026 app redesign that some long-time users dislike.
