Fay Nutrition Review 2026: The Missing Piece of Your GLP-1 Program
Fay Nutrition is not a GLP-1 prescriber. It is a dietitian matching platform that books you with registered dietitians who bill your insurance, and its homepage says sessions cost "as low as $0/session with insurance." Fay lists 3,400+ registered dietitians and 700+ insurance plans, and raised a $50M Series B led by Goldman Sachs in February 2025. It fills a gap most telehealth GLP-1 platforms skip: what you eat while on the medication.

Source: Fay price page, checked Nov 4, 2026. Fay says “Most people get their sessions for free when they book with Fay” and that cost varies with your location, age and coverage. Without coverage, Fay says “you could pay closer to $150 per session.” Use its price check tool before you book, and confirm your nutrition counseling benefit with your insurer.
Without insurance, about $150 per session is hard to justify. The model depends on insurance coverage.

What I Like
Insurance Can Cover Most of the Cost
This is why Fay exists. Most GLP-1 telehealth programs are cash-pay. Fay books you with dietitians who are already credentialed to bill insurance, so many members pay little or nothing per session. If you already pay for a GLP-1 program, adding insurance-billed dietitian visits is a cheap extra layer of support.
GLP-1 Support Is a Listed Specialty
Fay lists GLP-1s as a topic and has a “Weight Loss Medication” specialty filter. Good dietitians can help with nausea, protein targets on a suppressed appetite, muscle preservation and eating patterns that last. In the STEP 1 extension, participants who stopped semaglutide regained two-thirds of their prior weight loss within a year (Wilding et al., Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism 2022). Nutrition habits built during treatment may help you hold on to more of your results, but no study has shown dietitian visits prevent that regain.
Large Dietitian Network
Fay lists 3,400+ registered dietitians, with virtual and in-person options and filters by specialty. You are not stuck with whoever happens to be free.
The App Between Visits
Fay says you can use its app “to track progress, stay motivated, and keep in touch with your dietitian between sessions.”
What Could Be Better
Weak Without Insurance
At about $150 per session without coverage, Fay is a poor fit for cash-pay patients. If your plan does not cover nutrition counseling, there is no cheap fallback.
Billing Complaints
Fay’s BBB profile showed an A rating, accreditation since July 2025, and 198 complaints in the last three years on Nov 4, 2026. Recent complaints describe bills of $90 to $140 per visit after members expected $0, claims coded wrong, and trouble reaching a human in support. Check your benefits with your insurer, not only Fay’s estimate, and keep records.
Quality Depends on the Individual Dietitian
Fay is a marketplace. Your experience depends on the dietitian you get matched with. If your first match is not a good fit, switch.
Not a GLP-1 Prescriber
Fay dietitians cannot prescribe medication. You still need a separate provider for your GLP-1. Fay works alongside your prescriber, not as a replacement. For GLP-1 prescribing, see our provider directory.
Who Fay Is Best For
Fay works well if you:
- Are already on a GLP-1 and want professional nutrition support
- Have insurance that covers dietitian visits
- Want help with muscle preservation, protein targets and meal planning on GLP-1s
- Are concerned about weight regain after stopping medication
- Want a low-cost add-on to your existing GLP-1 program
