Bring nutrition to your practice without any lift.
Healthier patients. Healthier practices.
Providers don’t have the tools they need to improve patient nutrition. You prescribe a GLP-1 and cross your fingers. You hand them a pamphlet and off they go. You tell them over and over to go easy on the salt. But patients don’t follow through. You have no way to track progress, much less provide support along the way. It’s no surprise outcomes don’t improve.
Joyce fills the nutrition care gap.
Our program is a prescribable solution that’s easy for patients and revenue-generating for practices. We handle staffing, billing, and patient engagement. All at no cost to you.

Provider Stories
Prescribing GLP-1s responsibly, with Joyce
GLP-1s work — but without nutrition support, patients miss the dietary habits that make the drug worth prescribing in the first place. Tri-County pairs patients with Joyce, so patients get the education that makes the medication actually do its job.
Make nutrition support accessible to every patient
In their community, access to affordable dietitian care was hard to come by. CAOC partnered with Joyce to give patients the care they deserve, built right into their cardiology practice. Most patients are on Medicare and find it easy and fun to follow.
A loved part of any practice
Most cardiology practices refer patients to nutrition and never hear what happened. Whole Cardiac Wellness refers to Joyce — and patients actually go, because visits are insurance-covered, scheduled around their lives, and matched to a dietitian who fits.
Offering true lifestyle medicine with Joyce
The Lown Group partnered with Joyce to deliver nutrition care at the depth their patients expect: a dedicated dietitian and food coaching between visits — a stickier experience that lives up to what concierge medicine promises in the first place.

Questions?
We have answers.
Working with Joyce is like having your own dedicated dietitian team as part of our staff. We work inside your existing workflows and EHRs and make care delivery seamless. You send us patient information with their clinical data (labs, conditions, medications) and we handle the rest. After enrollment, you receive a physician report at graduation summarizing clinical outcomes, behavioral changes, and updated labs. Between enrollment and graduation, Joyce's registered dietitians manage the nutrition care so you don't have to. You stay in the loop without adding to your workload.
Joyce is a 12-session culinary medicine program delivered over approximately six months, pairing 1:1 registered dietitian visits with an AI-powered food coach that supports patients between sessions over text. Sessions begin with clinical education — reviewing labs, setting goals, building healthy habits — then progress into hands-on culinary coaching organized around real meal situations: sheet pan dinners, quick weeknight meals, eating out confidently. At graduation, each patient has built a personal food playbook built around their life, and you receive a full clinical report.
A traditional referral sends a patient to a dietitian and hopes they follow through. Joyce is a structured program with a defined beginning, curriculum, and graduation — built so patients actually complete it. The between-visit food coach keeps patients engaged day-to-day, not just in their monthly appointment. And the curriculum is organized around meal patterns patients actually face, not abstract nutritional advice. The result is a measurable, accountable program rather than open-ended consultations.
Yes. Joyce has a dedicated content track for patients on GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Mounjaro. The program adapts for the realities of appetite suppression, nausea, and reduced caloric intake — emphasizing nutrient density to ensure patients get adequate protein, fiber, and micronutrients even when eating less. Recipes are tagged GLP-1 compatible throughout the library.
Joyce is designed with Medicare patients with cardiometabolic conditions — including type 2 diabetes, pre-diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and heart failure in mind. That said, the Joyce Program is designed so everyone can benefit from it and receive high-quality dietitian guidance and make strides toward their individual goals. The program's tiered approach means it meets patients where they are — whether they cook regularly or barely at all.
