About the role
Background Nourish is expanding its clinical model to include physician-led services as part of our fully integrated metabolic care offering. We are now accepting applications for Metabolic Health Physicians for both full-time and part-time roles. In this role, you will help power a deeply coordinated care team - partnering with registered dietitians (RDs), nurse practitioners (NPs), behavioral health therapists, and care operations - to deliver comprehensive, longitudinal support to patients. You’ll provide medical evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment; help guide clinical decision-making across nutrition, lifestyle, and medication pathways; and ensure that patients receive the right intervention at the right time. We handle all administrative, insurance, billing, and scheduling so you can focus entirely on practicing high-quality, thoughtful medicine and supporting meaningful lifestyle and behavior change.
About Us Nourish was founded to address a fundamental failure in the U.S. healthcare system: the rapid rise of chronic disease, which affects hundreds of millions of Americans and drives the majority of healthcare spending. Despite the clear role of nutrition and lifestyle in preventing, managing, and reversing these conditions, care has remained fragmented and inaccessible. Nourish has built the largest insurance-covered nutrition therapy platform in the country - connecting 6,000+ registered dietitians with patients nationwide through a seamless AI-native experience. We are now building the next chapter of Nourish: an integrated metabolic care model that brings together nutrition, lifestyle, behavioral interventions, and physician-led medical management into a single coordinated patient experience. If you’re passionate about metabolic health and excited to transform the healthcare system, we’d love to work with you. Our Clinical Philosophy Our approach to care is grounded in meeting patients where they are and using evidence-based practices to drive long-term lifestyle, behavioral, and metabolic change. Our interdisciplinary care team provides personalized, in-depth, and expert-level care to patients from any and all backgrounds. We measure quality of outcomes against each patient’s individual goals, coordinate seamlessly across care teams (RDs, NPs, physicians, outside providers), and continuously refine our approach through data, feedback and innovation.
