Problem
Most doctors who advise patients to eat healthier have no structured way to follow up or support that guidance. Patients leave appointments with general advice and no one to turn to when they face real-world questions about food choices, which limits adherence and health outcomes.
Solution
Joyce Health is a physician-prescribed food companion program that connects patients with registered dietitians and food coaches. Providers prescribe Joyce and send over medical details, then a dietitian meets with the patient over telehealth to build a personalized plan called the JoyceRx, blending clinical and culinary goals across 12 sessions. Between visits, patients can text their food coach anytime for meal feedback, pantry guidance, and practical nudges. Biweekly 30-minute telehealth follow-ups allow the dietitian to review progress and adjust the plan. The service keeps the prescribing doctor in the loop throughout the program, grounding care in real clinical guidance.
Target Audience
Joyce Health serves patients who have been prescribed the program by their doctors, including those managing diabetes, weight, metabolic conditions, or cardiovascular issues, as well as healthcare providers seeking structured nutrition support for their patients.
