Reviews Summary

Our Assessment

Fay Nutrition is not a GLP-1 prescriber — it is the nation's largest dietitian matching platform, connecting patients with over 2,000 board-certified Registered Dietitian Nutritionists (RDNs) covered by 700+ insurance plans. Founded by Sammy Faycurry (Harvard Business School) whose mother and sister are both registered dietitians, Fay operates as the "Zocdoc of nutrition care," handling insurance billing directly so that most patients pay $0–$10 per session out of pocket. For GLP-1 patients specifically, Fay offers a dedicated Ozempic/GLP-1 dietitian specialty category where users can find RDNs trained to support patients on semaglutide, tirzepatide, and other weight loss medications with personalized meal planning, side effect management, nutrient deficiency prevention, and sustainable habit coaching.

What Works Well

Insurance coverage is the standout feature — 95% of insured users pay as little as $0 per session, making Fay one of the most affordable ways to get professional nutrition support alongside GLP-1 treatment. The network of 2,000+ vetted, board-certified RDNs is the largest in the country, with specialties spanning weight loss, diabetes, GLP-1 support, PCOS, gut health, eating disorders, bariatric care, and dozens more. The dedicated GLP-1/Ozempic dietitian category means patients can find RDNs specifically experienced with the unique nutritional needs of GLP-1 medication users — including managing nausea, ensuring adequate protein intake, and preventing nutrient deficiencies that come with reduced food intake. Fay handles all insurance billing directly, removing a major barrier that typically prevents patients from using their nutrition benefits. Both virtual and in-person sessions are available, with flexible scheduling including nights and weekends. The platform includes an app with food journaling, goal tracking, and rewards (Uber Eats gift cards) for meeting health goals. Trustpilot reviews consistently praise individual dietitians by name for personalized, non-judgmental, long-term care relationships. The Validation Institute certification with the 2.9x weight loss outcome data adds clinical credibility that most telehealth platforms lack.

Where They Could Improve

Fay does not prescribe GLP-1 medications — patients need to obtain their semaglutide, tirzepatide, or other prescriptions through a separate provider (their doctor, a telehealth platform, etc.) and use Fay strictly for the nutrition counseling side. This means Fay is a complement to GLP-1 treatment, not a one-stop solution. Patients without insurance or with plans not in Fay's network will face cash-pay rates up to $150 per session, which adds up quickly with weekly appointments. The quality of experience depends heavily on the individual dietitian matched — while Fay vets providers, experiences will vary, and switching dietitians mid-treatment can disrupt continuity. The Trustpilot review count (~157) is relatively modest for a platform of this scale, making it harder to assess broad satisfaction. The platform's value proposition is strongest for insured patients; cash-pay users may find better value with all-inclusive GLP-1 programs that bundle medication and coaching together. Fay does not provide medical oversight, lab work, or medication management — it is purely a nutrition counseling platform.

Bottom Line

Fay Nutrition fills a critical gap in the GLP-1 weight loss ecosystem by providing affordable, insurance-covered access to registered dietitians who specialize in supporting patients on Ozempic, Wegovy, Mounjaro, and similar medications. It is not a GLP-1 prescriber but rather the ideal companion service for patients who already have a prescription and want professional nutrition guidance to maximize results, manage side effects, and build sustainable habits. Best suited for insured patients who want to leverage their nutrition benefits at little to no cost alongside their GLP-1 treatment. Patients without insurance or seeking an all-in-one medication-plus-coaching solution should look elsewhere for their primary GLP-1 provider and consider adding Fay as a supplement.
