The numbers no one talks about
28.8 million
Americans will experience an eating disorder in their lifetime.
That is more than the population of Texas.
Less than 6%
of people with eating disorders receive treatment.
The gap between who needs help and who gets it is not a personal failure. It is a system that has not made it easy enough.
91%
of Nourish patients reported feeling happier and healthier after twelve weeks.
Recovery is not a straight line. But with consistent support, it is possible.

Question 01
Do I even have an eating disorder?
1 in 3
people with an eating disorder is male. Eating disorders do not have a single face.
You do not need to look a certain way to have an eating disorder. Less than 6% of people with eating disorders are medically underweight — which means the vast majority of people who are suffering look exactly like everyone else.
If food takes up more mental space than feels comfortable, if you find yourself counting, restricting, compensating, or feeling out of control around eating — those experiences are real and they deserve real support.
You do not need a diagnosis to reach out. You do not need to be at your worst. You just need to be honest with yourself that something feels hard.
Question 02
Will you make me eat things I am not ready for?
No. We follow your pace.
Our registered dietitians use a Health At Every Size approach — which means we start with where you are, not where someone else thinks you should be. The first session is mostly us listening. We want to understand your history, your fears, and what safety means to you before we suggest anything.
Recovery is not a script we run you through. It is a conversation that happens over weeks, at a pace that you can tolerate. You will never be pressured to eat something before you are ready. Your autonomy matters here.
“The average age when eating disorders first develop is 12 to 13 years old. But they can begin at any age — and it is never too late to ask for help.”
Question 03
Can my parents see what I tell my therapist?
95%
of Nourish patients pay $0 when using insurance. Your privacy and your wallet are both protected.
What you share in your sessions is private. Our platform is HIPAA-compliant, which means your health information is protected by federal law.
If you are 18 or older, your parents cannot access your records without your written permission. Full stop.
If you are under 18, the rules vary slightly by state, but your provider will explain exactly what is and is not confidential before your first session — so there are no surprises.
We understand that privacy is not just a preference. For many people, it is the only reason they are willing to try at all.
Question 04
What if I've tried recovery before and it didn't work?
Then recovery has already asked something enormous of you, and you showed up anyway. That is not failure — that is someone who has not given up.
Most people try three to five times before finding the approach that holds. The research is clear: the more attempts someone makes, the more likely they eventually reach sustained recovery. Prior treatment is not a mark against you. It is evidence that you keep trying.
Virtual care specifically has shown strong outcomes for people who struggled with in-person treatment — the flexibility, the privacy, the ability to be in your own space removes barriers that made previous attempts harder.
91% of people who used Nourish reported feeling happier and healthier after twelve weeks. We cannot promise a specific outcome. We can promise we will not give up on you.
Not sure where you stand? The screener will help.
Five gentle questions. No diagnosis. No insurance information. No phone number. Just a place to start being honest with yourself — and a next step if you want one.
How it works
Three steps. No waiting rooms. No judgment.
Step one
Tell us a little about yourself.
Complete a short, private intake form — no phone number required, no insurance details upfront. Just your name, what you're experiencing, and what kind of support you're looking for.
Takes about 4 minutes. Nothing you write is shared without your permission.
Step two
Meet your care team.
Within 48 hours, you'll be matched with a licensed therapist and registered dietitian who specialize in eating disorder recovery. Your first session is a conversation — not an assessment, not a plan. Just a chance to be heard.
91% of patients report feeling understood from their very first session.
Step three
Recovery, at your pace.
Your care team builds a plan around your life — your schedule, your fears, your readiness. You can message your dietitian between sessions, track your goals in the Nourish app, and adjust the pace whenever you need to.
Covered by most major insurance plans. 95% of patients pay $0.
Our approach
Care that meets you where you actually are.
Health At Every Size
We do not use weight as a measure of success. Our approach is grounded in evidence-based research that separates health behaviors from body size — because your worth is not a number on a scale.
Your pace, always
Recovery is not a protocol we run you through. We move at the speed that feels tolerable to you. If something feels like too much, we back up. There is no timeline you have to meet.
The whole picture
Eating disorders live at the intersection of biology, psychology, and lived experience. Our team includes both licensed therapists and registered dietitians — because one half of the story is never enough.
Wherever you are
From your bed, your car, your college dorm bathroom floor — we show up wherever you have an internet connection. Virtual care removes the barriers that kept you from reaching out before.
“Recovery rates double with consistent virtual support. You do not have to do this alone — and you do not have to leave your house to start.”
Ready when you are. No pressure. No deadline.
Two ways to take a next step. Both are private. Neither requires insurance information, a phone number, or a commitment.
Take the Confidential Screener
Five questions. A gentle reflection on your relationship with food. No judgment — just a starting point and a suggested next step that fits where you are.
- Five questions, under 2 minutes
- No insurance or phone number needed
- Private — nothing is stored without consent
- Suggests a personalized next step
