NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 19, 2026--

Nourish, the country’s largest dietitian-led metabolic health clinic, today announced its $100 million Series C, bringing total funding to $215 million. The round was led by Menlo Ventures, with participation from Thrive Capital, Index Ventures, J.P.

“Chronic disease is the largest cost driver in U.S. healthcare, and the system still isn't built to treat it,” said Aidan Dewar, Co-Founder and CEO of Nourish. “Too often, patients get expensive, reactive, fragmented care that doesn't actually make them healthier. We've built the care model and technology to change that — driving the behavior and lifestyle change that delivers real clinical outcomes at a low cost and great patient experience. The demand from patients, providers, health plans, employers, and health systems has never been clearer, and this round positions us to meet it at scale.”

Nearly 200 million Americans live with nutrition-related chronic conditions, which are the leading drivers of the nearly $5 trillion spent on healthcare annually and more than one million preventable deaths each year. Nourish addresses this through an AI-native metabolic clinic, built to drive behavior change and measurable outcomes. Nourish’s high-quality care produces best-in-class outcomes: 8% weight loss, 1.3 point A1C reduction, 31 point LDL cholesterol reduction, and 23 point systolic blood pressure reduction, resulting in over $2,000 per patient in annual cost savings for health plans.

Every Nourish patient works with a Registered Dietitian (RD) virtually and receives a comprehensive care plan — with lab testing, GLP-1 prescribing and medication management, and other virtual medical care layered in based on need, coordinated with each patient's existing providers. Every patient has an AI health agent as part of their care team to proactively support behavior change and coordinate care. Nourish’s AI health agent in its patient-facing mobile app has hundreds of thousands of monthly active users and world-class engagement metrics. For providers, AI copilot agents surface real-time insights and automate administrative work to improve quality of care.

The explosion of GLP-1 medications has accelerated demand for metabolic care, but medication alone is insufficient: fewer than half of patients remain on GLP-1s at six months, and most who discontinue regain the weight without sustained nutrition and behavior support. Payers are under growing pressure to find scalable solutions that actually bend the cost curve. For eligible patients who need access, Nourish integrates responsible prescribing of brand-name, insurance-covered GLP-1s into nutrition-first care, combining medication and lifestyle change into one model that delivers long-term behavior change and sustainable outcomes.

Founded just four years ago, Nourish has scaled its network to over 10,000 Registered Dietitians, has completed millions of appointments, and has more than tripled year-over-year. Nourish has partnered with hundreds of the nation’s leading health plans to provide broad access for more than 200 million covered lives. Nourish has tens of thousands of providers from over 250 health systems referring hundreds of thousands of patients to Nourish’s care model.

“Chronic disease is the central failure of U.S. healthcare — nearly 200 million Americans affected, trillions spent, and outcomes that still don't move. What Nourish has built in four years is remarkable: a care model that actually bends the cost curve, with 10,000 dietitians, deep payer relationships, and clinical outcomes patients stick with,” said J.P. Sanday, Partner at Menlo Ventures. “Most companies get one of those things right. Nourish has all of them. We're proud to lead this round.”

DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — A bomb exploded outside a Defense Ministry building in the Syrian capital on Tuesday, killing one soldier and wounding about a dozen other people, the ministry and state media reported.

The Defense Ministry said in a terse statement that soldiers discovered a bomb that was ready to be detonated in the central Bab Sharqi district of Damascus. As they were dismantling it, a car exploded nearby, killing a member of the military and wounding the others.

The ministry said the blast occurred outside a building linked to the Defense Ministry but gave no further details.

State TV reported that the blast killed one person and wounded 12 others, including civilians.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility but such attacks in the past have been blamed on the Islamic State group.

IS has claimed such attacks since the Assad family was removed from power after five decades of rule by insurgent groups that marched into Damascus in December 2024.
