Nourish is a Telehealth nutrition counseling platform that connects patients with Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs). We're available in all 50 states and have a network of 9,000+ dietitians who specialize across dozens of conditions and health goals.
Here's how it works: after signing up and verifying your insurance, you browse our dietitian directory, choose a provider who fits your needs, and book a telehealth appointment via Zoom. Your first session is a comprehensive assessment where your dietitian gets to know your 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 sessions, you can message your dietitian, log meals, track progress, and access recipes and resources through the Nourish app. 94% of our patients pay $0 out-of-pocket — Nourish handles all insurance verification and claim submissions so you can focus on your health.
Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs) are health professionals specializing in food and nutrition. Dietitians provide a behavioral health approach to nutritional care to help you reach your long-term health goals. To learn more about our approach to care, click here.
Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) is a nationally recognized credential. At Nourish, all our dietitians are RDNs, which means that they have completed a Bachelor or Master’s degree in Nutrition, passed a national exam, and complete a number of ongoing continuing education credits annually.
No, they are not the same. The title "nutritionist" is not a protected title, which means that anyone, including yourself, can call themselves a nutritionist. At Nourish, all our providers are Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDN) which is a legally protected title. Registered Dietitian Nutritionists must complete a Bachelor or Master's degree in Nutrition, pass a national exam, and complete a number of ongoing continuing education credits annually.

With Nourish, you can be sure that you are speaking with licensed health professionals that have been trained in nutrition and dietary intervention. To learn more about our approach to care, please click here.
It depends on your goals and health conditions, and your dietitian will give you a personalized recommendation during your first session. That said, here's a general sense of what to expect:
Most patients meet with their dietitian weekly or biweekly, especially at the start of care. Initial sessions & follow ups will typically be 50–60 minutes. As you build momentum and healthy habits become more routine, many patients space appointments out to monthly check-ins.
There are no minimums or commitments — your care plan is entirely flexible and adjusts as your needs change!
Yes, at Nourish we have many dietitians who specialize in working with children. We have experience in dealing with nutrition issues related to children, including overweight/underweight, diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, food allergies, and eating disorders.
Nourish is available in all 50 states!
During the sign up process, we’ll match you with available dietitians based on the specialty areas you select. You’ll have a chance to review the dietitians profiles that have available appointments in the next 3 weeks so you can learn more about their background and approach to care.
Patients can always browse the Nourish dietitian directory and filter by specialty, language, availability, and insurance, and review profiles and book directly with whoever fits their needs. Contact support at support@nourish.com if you need help finding the right match.
All Nourish appointments are conducted virtually via Zoom video call. A laptop, phone or tablet with internet is recommended. You do not need a Zoom account to join the appointment.
After scheduling your first appointment, you’ll receive an email with the Zoom link to join at your scheduled time. You will also see an option to join the Zoom through Nourish App, as a clickable button will appear 20 minutes before the start of the session.
No — for safety reasons this is not allowed. Appointments are conducted via video call and require your full attention. If you’re driving when you join an appointment, your dietitian may end the session due to the safety concerns and not allow it to be conducted.
Telehealth allows a healthcare provider to provide care to you without an in-person office visit. Telehealth is done primarily online with internet access on your computer, tablet, or smartphone. In the case of Nourish, we use Zoom as our primary means of holding any given appointment with your dietitian. You do not need a Zoom account to log into your Nourish appointment.
Yes. Meal planning is a core part of what Nourish dietitians do. Your dietitian will work with you to build a realistic, personalized approach to eating that fits your lifestyle, preferences, and health goals — not a one-size-fits-all plan.
Between sessions, the Nourish app gives you additional tools to support this: browse 500+ dietitian-curated recipes with full nutritional information, get personalized recipe recommendations from your dietitian. We’ve also launched an in-app AI chat that can help you come up with meal ideas whenever you want!
Research shows that patients who actively use meal logging alongside their appointments see the best outcomes.
Nourish dietitians work with a wide range of health conditions and goals, including:
Yes. Nourish is fully HIPAA-compliant and takes the privacy of your health information seriously.
