Summary
  • Today, Nourish published data showing that high-acuity patients who engage more consistently with dietitian-led care achieve meaningfully better clinical outcomes, including greater weight loss and improved A1c.
  • The data shows that high-acuity patients with 6+ dietitian appointments lose 2.3x as much weight at six months as those with 1–2 appointments, with similar patterns seen in A1c reduction by appointment.
  • By driving engagement through a thoughtful care model and AI-native platform, Nourish helps high-acuity patients achieve lasting clinical results.

For high-acuity patients managing obesity, diabetes, and other complex metabolic conditions, sustained engagement with a clinician is what drives meaningful, lasting improvement in outcomes.

At Nourish, our care model is built around this principle. As a dietitian-led metabolic health clinic, we design care pathways that match intensity to clinical need: higher-acuity patients attend more dietitian sessions on average as a result of their conditions requiring active, ongoing management.

Today, we're publishing data that demonstrates the impact of this approach:

  • 2.3x greater weight loss for high-acuity patients completing 6+ appointments compared to those completing 1–2
  • 50% greater A1c reduction for high-acuity patients completing 4+ appointments compared to those completing 1–3
  • 1.7x more sessions for high-acuity vs. low-acuity patients at 24 months

This data demonstrates the Nourish care model working as designed:  matching care intensity to clinical need, driving sustained engagement, and delivering meaningful clinical results.
