A fit for US residents with health insurance who want a Registered Dietitian without paying out of pocket. Outside the US, or without insurance, the $145 per-session self-pay rate and English-only service are significant limits.

Experience & key features
Nourish is a telehealth nutrition service run by Nourish, Inc. in Austin, Texas. Patients meet a Registered Dietitian over Zoom and use the app between appointments. The company's About page cites more than 500,000 people helped and a network of 10,000+ dietitians.
The app handles scheduling, dietitian messaging, photo meal logging, an AI assistant and lab results. On iOS it can read Apple Health data with the user's permission. The App Store description also lists recipes, medically tailored meal delivery, visit summaries written by the dietitian, and the status of insurance claims.
On cost, Nourish bills insurers and states that 94% of patients pay $0. Copays or deductibles can add charges. Without active insurance the self-pay rate is $145 per session, and a credit card on file is required at sign-up.
The service suits insured US residents who want clinical guidance. For calorie tracking alone, apps such as Cronometer or MacroFactor cost less but come without a clinician. The outcome figures on the homepage are Nourish's own.
On privacy, Nourish's policy allows website and app identifiers to be sold or shared with ad networks. According to Bloomberg Law and Law360, in April 2026 a federal judge in Illinois refused to dismiss wiretap and negligence claims in a proposed class action alleging the website sent appointment data to Google; the case is ongoing.

- Free trial
- No free trial
Cancellation & refunds
Under the Nourish Guarantee, sessions already held are free if insurance denies them; for copays or coinsurance, patients pay no more than the initial estimate for past sessions; if claims go to the deductible, patients can pay it or decline and owe nothing for past sessions (future sessions are then self-pay).
Privacy
Nourish's privacy policy (updated August 17, 2026) does not cover health information subject to HIPAA, which falls under a separate Notice of Privacy Practices. For website and app data, the policy says Nourish may sell or share identifiers (IP address, mobile advertising ID) and internet activity data with ad networks for targeted advertising, with an opt-out via "Your Privacy Choices". It says it does not use personal information to train large language models and will not sell or market with Apple Health or Health Connect data. The App Store privacy label lists identifiers as data used to track users. Since August 2025 Nourish has faced a proposed class action in Illinois alleging its website sent appointment data to Google; the case has not been decided.

Class action alleges appointment data was sent to Google
A proposed class action in Illinois alleges Nourish's website sent dietitian appointment details to Google, feeding targeted advertising. In April 2026 a judge let the wiretap claim proceed.
Read the full account
Podraza v. Nourish, Inc. (No. 3:25-cv-50356) was filed on August 20, 2025 in the US District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The plaintiffs say they booked dietitian appointments on Nourish's website and that tracking tools on the site sent appointment details to Google, contributing to targeted advertising. According to Bloomberg Law, on April 21, 2026 Judge Iain D. Johnston denied Nourish's motion to dismiss the wiretap claim, finding it plausible that transmitting appointment data violated HIPAA. Law360 reports that the negligence claim also survived. The claims remain allegations; the court has not ruled on the merits.

Why this score
Scheduling, Zoom visits, messaging and photo meal logging sit in one app. Held back by an English-only service available only in the US.
Why this score
Combines credentialed counseling, an AI assistant, macro tracking, lab work and Apple Health integration. As a tracker it is less specialized than dedicated calorie-counting apps.
Why this score
With insurance, Nourish states 94% of patients pay $0; without it the rate is $145 per session. Value depends almost entirely on the insurance plan.
Why this score
Nourish publishes outcomes such as 8% average weight loss at 12 months for patients not on GLP-1s, but these are vendor figures and none of the pages opened validate them independently.
Why this score
The help center covers insurance and billing in detail, backed by a billing guarantee. On Trustpilot, Nourish replies to all negative reviews, typically within 24 hours. No independent source measures support quality.
Why this score
Medical data falls under HIPAA and Nourish says it does not train LLMs on personal data. However, the policy allows identifiers to be sold or shared for targeted ads, the App Store label lists identifiers used for tracking, and a pending class action alleges the website sent appointment data to Google (a judge let the wiretap claim proceed in April 2026).
