60% of Americans are currently living with at least one chronic health issue, while 40% are managing two or more. Conditions linked to nutrition and metabolism, such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, are responsible for most of the healthcare expenditure in the United States. Every day, they battle with symptoms, medications, and the overwhelming task of trying to eat healthy. It is common knowledge that nutrition is key to managing the health condition, but finding the right help feels impossible. Even though the insurance might cover the cost of working with a dietitian, fewer than 1% of people even know they have that benefit. And even fewer take advantage of it.
For those who do try to seek help, the process can be frustrating and expensive. Nourish is helping millions of Americans access the right kind of nutrition care they need. With Nourish, nutrition counseling is virtual, affordable, and covered by insurance, which means people don’t have to worry about out-of-pocket costs or complicated processes to get the help they need.
“Our healthcare system is at an inflection point, with chronic disease rates and costs rising to unsustainable levels,” said Sam Perkins, co-founder, President, and COO of Nourish. “Payers are under growing pressure to find scalable solutions that actually work. Nourish meets this need by addressing the root cause of chronic disease by giving payers a powerful new lever to improve outcomes, bend the cost curve, and deliver a care experience members love.”
