For Direct Primary Care Practices
You know your patients need high-touch support to adopt healthy nutrition and activity routines — but you can't deliver it in your DPC model. A traditional nutritionist is expensive and still leaves many days of unsupported decisions.
FitMate closes that gap — a certified human coach powered by AI, for $69/month. Plus optional strength training.
FitMate is a daily health coaching benefit that pairs AI-powered nutrition tracking with certified human coaches — making high-touch support affordable at $69/month.
A proven complement to GLP-1 therapy (protecting lean mass and building habits for safe tapering) — or a cost-effective standalone alternative.
Why This Isn't Just "Having a Nutritionist"
Even a great nutritionist leaves structural gaps. Here's what changes when you add continuous AI monitoring to a human coaching relationship.
Weekly session at most. Between visits, patients are on their own — no one sees them skip meals or drift off plan.
AI monitors every meal in real time. When patterns shift, the coach texts that afternoon — not at the next appointment.
Evidence: Stanford's JAMA study showed motivation from a single intervention fades within 2 weeks without reinforcement.
Advice based on patient recall — but people underreport calories by 40% and overestimate protein by 30%+. Wrong data, wrong advice.
AI analyzes every meal photo — real data, not memory. "You're averaging 48g protein; you need 120g. Here's one swap for lunch."
Evidence: GLP-1 appetite suppression makes protein shortfall even worse — reduced intake means every gram counts. Most patients start at ~50% of target.
1-hour sessions at $150–300 each. Much of that time spent just gathering info — food recalls, checking in. 2–4 sessions/month = $300–600+.
Because AI handles meal analysis and briefs the coach with a data-driven summary before each session, weekly sessions stay short (15 minutes). Between sessions, AI flags when patients drift — protein dropping, meals skipped, habits changing — and alerts the coach to intervene with a targeted text exactly when it matters. No wasted time, no gaps.
Bottom line: An entire month of daily support + weekly sessions costs less than a single hour with an RD.
Patients told to "add resistance training" — no structure, no guidance. Most never start.
1:1 personal training ($30/session), live and online, designed for home. Progressive plan with 2–3 sessions/week. No gym needed.
Evidence: Up to 25–40% of GLP-1 weight loss can be lean mass. ACLM/ASN/OMA/TOS joint advisory: resistance training 2–3x/week is essential.
Results
Most patients start at roughly 50% of their daily protein target — they don't even know it. With AI tracking every meal and a coach closing the loop, patients hit their target fast and stay there. That's the foundation for both weight loss and muscle preservation.

How It Works in Practice
Every patient gets a dedicated certified health coach. But what makes FitMate fundamentally different is that AI works behind the scenes to make every human interaction more frequent, more precise, and dramatically more affordable.
AI monitors meals daily and flags issues in real time. The coach checks in frequently — not just once a week — with targeted nudges exactly when patients need them.
AI handles meal analysis, pattern detection, and session prep — so sessions stay at 15 minutes and between-session interventions are surgical. That's how $69/month covers an entire month of daily support.
The coach walks into every session already knowing exactly what the patient ate, where they fell short, and what single change will have the biggest impact. No guesswork, no reliance on patient recall. Real data → real advice → real change.
A simple, sustainable cadence that keeps patients on track
1
Patients photograph meals. AI instantly analyzes each one for calories, protein, and fullness.
2
Coach reviews AI insights, identifies the highest-impact change, and sets one clear weekly target with real examples.
Short 15-minute weekly sessions — thanks to AI briefing the coach — are sufficient to deliver high-precision change whilst keeping costs down.
3
AI flags when patterns shift — protein dropping, meals skipped, habits drifting. The coach sees it and texts that day with a specific course correction. Not a generic check-in. A targeted nudge based on real data.
Protein was low yesterday — try Greek yogurt for your afternoon snack
Got it! Can I swap chicken for salmon tonight?
Great swap — keep the portion similar. You're doing great this week
Optional Add-On
$30per 50-min live session
Especially valuable for GLP-1 patients who need to protect lean muscle during weight loss — but beneficial for any patient looking to build strength safely at home.
Two Paths, One Affordable Program
Research shows two-thirds of GLP-1 weight is regained within a year. FitMate closes that gap — and works just as well without medication.
GLP-1 Companion
Your patients are spending $300–1,000+/month on medication. At $69/month, FitMate is a marginal add-on that protects that investment and builds habits for safe tapering.
Standalone Alternative
For patients who aren't candidates for GLP-1s, prefer non-pharmaceutical approaches, or want to try lifestyle change first — FitMate delivers proven results at $69/month.
Simple Cash-Pay Pricing
Affordable enough to bundle into membership, or recommend as a standalone subscription. No insurance, no admin.
Cash Pay — No Insurance Needed
AI handles monitoring and analysis. The human coach handles behavior change. That's how this level of support costs $69/month instead of hundreds.

Common Questions
$69/month for the full nutrition coaching program, billed directly to the patient. Personal training is an add-on at $30/session. No insurance, no claims, no admin on your end. Some practices bundle FitMate into their membership — we're flexible on what works for your model.
Every coach is a certified health coach with robust training in nutrition for weight loss and deep expertise in behavior change. The AI handles nutritional analysis; the human handles the behavioral science. That's what makes it both more effective for lasting change and affordable at $69/month.
No. Patients start with a representative sample. AI extrapolates typical patterns. After that, they focus on meals tied to their weekly goal. Many patients end up logging everything voluntarily — because when a real person is paying attention and responding, engagement is completely different from using an app alone.
Those are self-guided digital tools. Nobody is watching. FitMate is a real human coach who uses AI to stay informed — fundamentally different. Research shows digital nudges alone lose effectiveness within 2 weeks. FitMate's coach calls you, texts when data shows you're slipping, and adjusts the plan in real time. The difference between a fitness YouTube channel and a personal trainer.
Sessions alternate: one week is a ~15-minute call, the next is a text-based check-in. This rhythm keeps patients engaged without overwhelming them. Between sessions, the coach checks in proactively based on AI insights from meal logs. The coach already knows what happened — so every interaction is targeted, not generic.
Patients on GLP-1s are already spending $300–1,000+/month. FitMate adds the structured lifestyle support that makes that investment pay off — at $69/month it's a marginal increase. The core is nutrition coaching informed by real meal data, plus optional personal training to protect lean muscle. As patients build habits, they can safely taper medication. For patients who can't afford GLP-1s, FitMate works as a cost-effective standalone alternative.
Absolutely. Some practices include it as part of their membership — it differentiates the practice and delivers more value. Others recommend it as a separate subscription. We're flexible on the model.
None. Share our enrollment link, a QR code, or give us the patient's contact info. We handle enrollment, billing, coach matching, and all ongoing communication. Zero admin overhead.
Yes. DPCs get a monthly report on client progress — protein uptake, weight loss, adherence to healthy routines, and more — to ensure integrated care. Above a certain volume of patients, you get access to a secure portal to see live patient data which you can query on demand.
