Built for registered dietitians in private practice
NourishPlanner sends each client a week of meals she can actually cook, then asks her one small question a day. You open the adherence view before the session and already know where the week went sideways.

The part nobody bills for
You build a careful week around her schedule, her budget and her lab work. She leaves the session sure of it. Then Tuesday runs long, Wednesday she eats standing up, and by the time you see her again you are reconstructing eleven days from memory.
The first fifteen minutes of every follow up go to recall. Three sessions a day, four days a week, and that is roughly 156 billable hours a year spent on a food record nobody wrote down.
About $18,700 of session time a yearYou draft the week in a document, paste it into an email, then rewrite half of it when she says the family will not touch lentils. Most practices lose four to six hours a week to that copy work.
Five hours a week, every weekClients rarely announce that they have stopped. They just miss a week, then a month, and the rebooking never happens. Silent attrition between session three and session five is the single biggest revenue leak in a counseling practice.
One lost client is $640 of package valueInsurance wants specifics and your chart note has adjectives. Without a dated record of what she actually ate, the intervention section of the note is guesswork you then have to defend at reauthorization.
Denied claims average $112 eachHow the week runs
Nothing here asks your client to become a food logger. She gets a plan she can read on a phone in the grocery aisle, and she answers one question a day with her thumb.
Calorie and macro targets, allergies, texture needs, cultural preferences, budget per week, how many nights she genuinely cooks, and the two dinners the household will never eat. That profile drives every plan after it.
Start from one of your own saved weeks, swap the meals that will not fit her Tuesday, and the grocery list rebuilds itself by aisle. Send it, or let it release on a schedule you set.
A single text or app card asks what actually happened at each meal: as planned, swapped, skipped, or eaten out. It takes about ten seconds and needs no login, no grams, no photographs.
Your caseload sorts by who is drifting. You see which meals hold, which ones collapse, and which day of the week breaks the plan, then walk into the session with a real question instead of a blank page.
What is inside
Every feature exists because a dietitian in practice asked for it after her third month of using the product with real clients.
Import the handouts and recipe cards you already use, set portions by household member, and NourishPlanner keeps the yields honest when you scale a meal from two to five. Nothing you send carries a stranger's food philosophy.
Every plan produces one list, grouped the way a store is laid out and priced against a regional basket so she can see the week before she spends it. Clients who shop from the list swap fewer dinners.
Delivered by text message or in the client app, with the reminder time set per client because a 7 a.m. nurse and a 10 p.m. bartender do not answer at the same hour. She can reply with a swap and the plan updates itself.
One screen ranks every active client by how much of the week held, with the meal and the weekday that keeps failing called out. You can spot a Thursday collapse three weeks before she cancels.
Each follow up opens with a dated summary of the interval: meals kept, meals swapped, patterns worth naming. Copy it into your chart note or export it as a PDF for the referring physician.
Queue four weeks of plans for a client at once and let them release one Sunday at a time, so a vacation week or a lab draw week does not have to be rebuilt on a Sunday night. You can pause any client without deleting her history.
What practices report
Figures below are the median across 268 US practices measured over the ninety days after onboarding, compared with the ninety days before it.
One question, one tap, a reminder timed to her actual day. Nothing to install and nothing to weigh, so the answer rate holds long after the novelty of a food journal is gone.
Plans are built from your saved weeks instead of typed fresh, grocery lists generate themselves, and follow up prep drops from fifteen minutes to about three. Two practices used the hours to add a Friday group class.
When drift is visible in week two you can call it in week two. Clients who get a specific, evidence based nudge before they disengage book on average 2.6 more sessions before closing out.
Retention plus reclaimed hours, priced at a typical $95 follow up rate. That is the median lift among solo practitioners in the first two quarters after switching.
A week in the product
This is the rhythm a practice settles into by the second or third week. Nothing about it depends on you being at a desk on a Sunday evening.
The queued plan releases to the client by email and in the app. She sees seven days of meals, the grocery list grouped by aisle, and two nights already marked as leftovers because that is what her Wednesday allows.
Your evening stays yoursOne question a day at the hour she chose. As planned, swapped, skipped, or eaten out. If she swaps, she picks from the alternatives you approved, and the grocery list for the rest of the week updates itself.
About ten seconds of her dayYour caseload view sorts by drift. Two clients have gone quiet, one has swapped four dinners in a row. You send a two line message to the one who matters instead of waiting fourteen days to find out.
The moment the week can still be savedThe follow up opens with a dated interval summary: which meals held, which weekday keeps failing, what she told you in her own words. You read it in ninety seconds on the way into the room.
Fifteen minutes of recall, goneYou counsel from evidence instead of memory. Adjust her pattern once and every plan after it inherits the change, so the next Sunday goes out already reflecting what you decided together.
One edit, every week afterExport the interval summaries for a referring physician, pull adherence trends for a reauthorization packet, and see which of your saved weeks clients actually keep so the library gets better on its own.
Dated detail for every claimHonest fit
We would rather lose a sale than spend three months onboarding a practice this was never built for. Here is the plain version.
Across the practices that switched, that is five tools down to one, and the Sunday evening back.
Import your recipes, set one client pattern, build the first week and send it. Most practitioners have a plan in a client's hands before dinner on the day they start.
Book a demoFrom the practices
I used to spend the first quarter of every follow up asking what she ate. Now I open the week, see that Tuesday and Thursday dinners fell apart while breakfast held all seven days, and we spend the session on the actual problem, which was her commute.
My clients are women in their fifties juggling parents and teenagers. They will not weigh food and they will not photograph it. They will answer one question while the kettle boils, and that turned out to be enough for me to counsel from.
We run four dietitians and we were building plans in four different formats. Standardizing on one library cut our Sunday admin from about five hours to under one, and our reauthorization packets finally have dated intake detail in them.
The client side
Your client is not a user of a nutrition platform. She is a woman with a job, a household and forty five minutes on a Tuesday. Everything on her side of the product was designed against that.
Pricing
Every plan includes unlimited clients, unlimited plans, text and in app check ins, the adherence view and a signed business associate agreement. You are never billed for growth.
$39 per month
For one registered dietitian running her own caseload.
$85 per month
For a practice of two to five dietitians sharing standards.
$175 per month
For multi site groups and hospital affiliated outpatient teams.
Every plan is billed monthly in US dollars and can be cancelled at any time from your account settings. No setup fee, no per client charge, and your data exports in full whenever you ask.
Questions dietitians ask us
No. Solo Dietitian is $39 per month whether you carry twelve clients or ninety, and the same is true of the other two plans. You only move up a plan when you need more practitioner seats or the group level reporting. We priced it this way because per client billing punishes exactly the growth you are working for, and it makes your monthly cost impossible to forecast.
Most solo practitioners send their first client plan the same afternoon they sign up. Building your first week takes about twenty minutes because you are teaching the library your portions and your staples; the second week takes six. On the Practice and Group plans we import your existing handouts and recipe cards for you, which usually takes us three business days from the moment you send the files.
Client records are encrypted in transit and at rest, stored on US infrastructure, and access is logged. We sign a business associate agreement on every plan, including the solo one, at no extra cost. Only you and the practitioners you invite can see a client record, and we never use client data to train anything or sell it to anyone. When you close an account you can export everything and we delete the records within thirty days.
NourishPlanner is not a scheduler or a charting system and does not try to replace one. It reads a CSV client export from the systems dietitians most often use, so you are not retyping names, emails and intake dates. Session summaries copy cleanly into any chart note, and the Group plan adds a read only API key if your IT team wants to pull adherence data into your own reporting.
You cancel in your account settings and the plan runs to the end of the month you already paid for. There is no notice period, no exit fee and no phone call to sit through. Before you go you can export your full recipe library, every client plan and every check in history as CSV and PDF, and those exports stay available for thirty days after the account closes.
Dietitians raise this before anything else in a demo, and the concern is well placed. NourishPlanner does not generate prescriptions, does not push a diet philosophy and does not send anything a client has not approved by you first. It fills the library with your recipes, your portions and your language, then handles the delivery and the record keeping. If you practice from a non diet or intuitive eating frame, you can turn calorie and macro display off entirely and run the whole product on meal structure alone.
The Counseling Table
Credentialing, denials, intake paperwork and the week two drop off. Our magazine answers the questions that decide whether a private nutrition practice pays for itself.
Talk to us
Not a slide deck. Pick the client whose week never survives past Wednesday, and we will build her next seven days live in about fifteen minutes so you can judge the product on your own caseload. Demos are run by someone who has sat in a counseling room.
We reply within one business day, and we do not add you to a newsletter. Prefer email? Write directly to jimenezjulien42@gmail.com.
If NourishPlanner is not the right fit for how you counsel, we will tell you in the call rather than after the first invoice.
