Wisp partners with Nourish to offer patients on GLP-1s personalized nutrition counseling
Wisp, a women's telehealth company focused on providing sexual and reproductive health solutions, is partnering with Nourish, a food-as-medicine platform.
Wisp patients can now access nutrition counseling services either through their health insurance or an exclusive self-pay rate, making it easier for women seeking a more holistic approach to weight management to access high-quality nutrition support at an affordable price.
Patients enrolled in Wisp’s newly launched weight care program can now combine medical weight loss treatments with personalized nutrition counseling from Nourish. The program offers prescriptions for Semaglutide Subcutaneous Injectable Medication, Compounded Semaglutide Subcutaneous Injectable Medication, Compounded Sublingual Semaglutide and Metabolic Support and GLP-1 Boost Capsule.

Through Nourish, Wisp patients are paired with a registered dietitian who provides them with a personalized care plan, actionable coaching, recommendations and progress tracking. Alongside this, Nourish patients will receive exclusive access to a discount on prescription and OTC solutions through Wisp.
“Personalized nutrition is a critical piece of the puzzle for sustainable weight care, especially for patients using GLP-1 medications. Proper guidance from a registered dietitian can help patients optimize their nutrition, manage side effects, and achieve lasting health improvements,” said Aidan Dewar, co-founder and CEO of Nourish. “This partnership with Wisp allows us to combine our expertise in food as medicine with their innovative weight care program, empowering women to take a holistic approach to their health and wellness.”
Proper nutrition is especially important for people taking GLP-1 medications for weight loss. Personalized support from a registered dietitian helps patients meet these dietary needs while managing potential side effects, such as nutrient deficiencies. With expert guidance from Nourish, patients can make sure their nutrition works alongside their medication to support long-term health goals and help prevent rebound weight gain if the medication is stopped.

“We launched weight care because we knew our patients were looking for comprehensive offerings at every price point—which didn't exist,” said Monica Cepak, CEO of Wisp. “Now, we're rounding out this program with a more holistic approach, leveraging strategic partnerships and tapping trusted healthcare advisors, to provide women with even more options, so they can personalize their weight care journey with help from Wisp's range of weight-loss prescriptions, exclusively formulated supplements and now, nutrition coaching." Through this partnership and appointment, Wisp is expanding its approach to weight care, with the goal of being able to serve patients in all 50 states by early next year.
Additionally, Wisp has appointed Dr. Rowena Chua, a board-certified physician in Neurology and Integrative Medicine, to serve as its director of its Women’s Weight Care.
