Our take
It is widely accepted that access to holistic nutrition support is a more healthy approach to weight loss than other options. Fay is transforming nutrition counselling by linking individuals with registered dietitians through an insurance-covered platform.
Emerging from stealth in 2024, the company aims to address the widespread need for accessible and high-quality nutritional care in the US. It has an extensive network of dieticians that spans all 50 states, offering tailored nutrition plans to users. For these dieticians, the platform can help them establish their practices, manage insurance claims and match with clients.
With more than 2,300 dieticians on the platform and customers like Amazon, Microsoft, and Pepsi, Fay has made it possible for more than 200M Americans to receive personalized nutrition and lifestyle counseling. But it isn't slowing down anytime soon, as demand grows for weight management and metabolic health solutions, the company recently secured major funding to stay ahead of the curve.
