Consumers are searching for focus, connection, and more sustainable models of health.
Nourish raised $100M to scale AI-native metabolic care
With $215M in total funding, the platform has scaled to more than 10K dietitians and partnerships spanning 250 health systems and 200M covered lives.
- Nourish’s insurance-backed platform combines dietitians, AI agents, labs, and GLP-1 management into a single virtual care model.
- Taking a nutrition-first approach, it’s helping employers, insurers, and health systems search for scalable ways to reduce long-term healthcare costs.
From wearables to glucose-tracking platforms, metabolic health is becoming standard care — and Nourish sees GLP-1s, nutrition, bloodwork, and AI coaching as all part of the puzzle.
Gyms push back against screen addiction
Fitness First partnered with kip, a startup that makes NFC-powered tags designed to block notifications and lock users into customized focus modes.
Tapped before workouts, the tags automatically silence social media, texts, and email while still allowing access to music and fitness apps.
The rollout comes as more consumers seek intentional, offline experiences — and as gyms increasingly position focus, recovery, and community as part of the workout itself.
Meru Health adds a diagnostic layer to psychiatric care
The digital mental healthcare provider launched a diagnostics-led psychiatry and therapy program for complex mental health conditions — including depression, anxiety, PTSD, and chronic illness.
- More than one billion people globally live with a mental health condition, while antidepressants remain ineffective for up to 30% of patients initially.
- Pushing a new model, the platform taps biomarkers, inflammation, hormones, sleep, and lifestyle as part of psychiatric care.
The result is a more integrated view of mental well-being — one that looks increasingly similar to preventative medicine.
