The Heartbeat of Healthy Eating
We're more than a food company. We are a team of passionate nutritionists, innovative chefs, and dedicated problem-solvers united by a single, powerful belief: that nourishing your body should be the easiest, most enjoyable part of your day.
From a Shared Problem to a Shared Plate
NourishNow began not in a boardroom, but around a kitchen table in 2021, born from a shared frustration. Our founders—Dr. Alisha Reed, a clinical nutritionist; Marco Bianchi, a Michelin-trained chef; and Ben Carter, a logistics-obsessed tech developer—were all navigating the same modern dilemma. They were deeply passionate about health and wellness but found that their demanding schedules consistently sabotaged their efforts to eat well. The choice was always a frustrating compromise: spend precious hours planning, shopping, and cooking, or resort to unhealthy, uninspiring convenience food. They witnessed this same struggle among their friends, family, and colleagues. It was a universal problem. The "intention-action gap" in healthy eating was a chasm they were determined to bridge.
Their conversations evolved from casual complaints into intense brainstorming sessions fueled by coffee and a desire for change. Alisha envisioned a service grounded in real nutritional science, not fleeting diet fads. Marco dreamed of crafting meals that were not just "healthy for you" but genuinely crave-worthy and exciting. Ben saw the potential to build a seamless, tech-driven platform that could deliver this experience with unparalleled ease and personalization. The fusion of these three distinct areas of expertise—science, culinary arts, and technology—became the foundational DNA of NourishNow. It was this unique synergy that would allow them to create something truly different: a service that respected both the complexity of the human body and the value of a person's time. They spent a year in rigorous development, perfecting recipes, building a supply chain of trusted local farms, and coding a user-centric platform from the ground up. In 2022, they delivered their first box, and NourishNow was officially born, not just as a business, but as a solution to a problem they knew all too well.
Our Mission
To empower individuals to achieve optimal health and reclaim their time by making delicious, nutritionally balanced, and scientifically-backed meals effortlessly accessible. We are committed to simplifying wellness, removing the barriers of planning, shopping, and cooking, so that anyone can consistently nourish their body and live a more vibrant life. We strive to be a trusted partner in our customers' health journeys, providing food that is not only good for them but is also a source of daily joy and satisfaction. Our mission is realized through an unwavering commitment to ingredient quality, culinary excellence, and a seamless customer experience, ensuring that every meal we deliver is a direct reflection of our core purpose.
Our Vision
To create a future where access to wholesome, high-quality nutrition is not a luxury, but a fundamental and simple part of everyday life for everyone. We envision a world where the daily choice of what to eat is no longer a source of stress, but an opportunity for self-care and empowerment. We aim to be the global leader in personalized nutrition, leveraging technology and culinary innovation to help prevent chronic lifestyle diseases and foster a global community that is healthier, happier, and more connected to the food they eat. Our vision extends beyond the plate to a sustainable, ethical food system that nurtures both people and the planet for generations to come.
The Science of Taste, The Art of Health
At the core of NourishNow lies a simple but profound philosophy: Food is functional medicine, but it must also be a source of profound pleasure. We reject the outdated notion that healthy eating must be restrictive, bland, or punitive. Our entire process is built on the harmonious marriage of nutritional science and culinary artistry. We believe that what you eat should work for you on a cellular level while simultaneously delighting your senses. This dual focus is our guiding principle.
Our nutritional approach is evidence-based and holistic. We don't chase fleeting diet trends. Instead, our registered dietitians focus on foundational principles of wellness: macronutrient balance for sustained energy, a diversity of plant foods for a rich micronutrient profile and gut health, high-quality proteins for muscle repair and satiety, and healthy fats for brain function and hormonal balance. We are obsessed with nutrient density, ensuring every calorie in your meal serves a distinct purpose.
On the culinary side, our chefs are masters of their craft, trained to extract maximum flavour from the purest ingredients. They use techniques like sous-vide to preserve nutrients and tenderness, high-heat roasting to caramelize vegetables and deepen their taste, and the masterful use of fresh herbs, spices, and house-made sauces to create complex, layered flavour profiles without relying on excess salt, sugar, or unhealthy fats. We believe that a perfectly seared salmon, a vibrant chimichurri sauce, or a rich, slow-simmered lentil stew can be both a therapeutic tool for your body and a moment of genuine culinary bliss. This is our philosophy in action: making the right choice for your health the most delicious and satisfying choice you can make all day.
Our Guiding Principles
Our values are not just words on a wall; they are the operational code that informs every decision we make, from sourcing our ingredients to interacting with our customers.
Scientific Integrity
Our nutritional framework is rooted in peer-reviewed science. We rely on evidence, not fads, to design meals that deliver real, measurable health benefits. Every recipe is vetted by registered dietitians.
Uncompromising Quality
From the farm to your fork, we are relentless in our pursuit of quality. This means pristine ingredients, meticulous preparation, and the highest standards of food safety. We never cut corners on what matters most.
Customer Obsession
Our customers are at the center of everything we do. We listen intently, adapt quickly, and strive to create a seamless, supportive, and delightful experience that genuinely improves their lives.
Sustainable Responsibility
We are dedicated to nurturing the planet as we nourish its people. We commit to responsible sourcing, minimizing waste, and using eco-friendly packaging to ensure our business is a force for good.
Our Roadmap for the Future
Our vision is ambitious, and we have a clear, strategic plan to achieve it. We are focused on intelligent growth, continuous innovation, and deepening our impact. Our strategy is built upon three foundational pillars that guide our efforts and investments, ensuring that as we expand, we do so with purpose and integrity. We believe that a clear strategy is what transforms a bold vision from a distant dream into an achievable reality. This roadmap is not static; it is a living document that we adapt and refine as we learn from our customers and the evolving landscape of health and technology. It is our commitment to not just growing a business, but to building a lasting institution that will redefine the role of food in our daily lives for years to come. We are playing the long game, focused on creating sustainable value for our customers, our employees, our partners, and our planet. Every new feature we launch, every new market we enter, and every new recipe we develop is a deliberate step along this strategic path.
1. Deepen Personalization
Goal: To offer a truly individualized nutrition experience for every customer. Strategy: We are investing heavily in data science and machine learning to move beyond simple dietary plans. Our future platform will analyze customer feedback, preferences, and even integrate with health-tracking data (with user consent) to provide proactive meal recommendations, customized nutritional insights, and dynamic menu adjustments. The aim is to create a service that learns and adapts to your unique body and evolving goals, becoming a true partner in your long-term health journey. This involves building a more sophisticated user portal, enhancing our recommendation algorithms, and expanding our menu variety to cater to an even wider range of specific health needs and taste profiles.
2. Expand Accessibility
Goal: To make NourishNow a viable option for more people in more places. Strategy: This involves a two-pronged approach. First, logistical expansion by strategically opening new, state-of-the-art production facilities to reduce delivery times, improve freshness, and lower our carbon footprint. Second, we are focused on optimizing our operational efficiency and supply chain to make our price point more accessible without ever compromising on our commitment to quality. We are exploring new plan structures and partnerships with corporate wellness programs and healthcare providers to integrate healthy eating into a broader ecosystem of well-being, making it easier for people to access our services.
3. Champion Education
Goal: To be a trusted source of nutritional knowledge and empowerment. Strategy: We believe that an informed customer is an empowered one. We are scaling our content creation to provide valuable, evidence-based resources beyond our meals. This includes launching the NourishNow blog with articles from our dietitians, hosting webinars with health experts, developing in-app educational content about ingredients and nutrients, and building a stronger community forum where members can share their experiences and learn from one another. Our aim is not just to feed our customers, but to equip them with the knowledge and confidence they need to take full control of their health, both on and off our meal plan.

What Truly Sets Us Apart
In a growing market, we are defined by our uncompromising commitment to a few key principles that make the NourishNow experience unique.
Dietitian-First Approach
Unlike services led solely by chefs, our menu development *begins* with our in-house team of registered dietitians. Health goals and nutritional science form the blueprint for every dish before our chefs bring it to life with flavour.

Freshness is paramount. We cook your meals just before delivery and use advanced cook-chill methods and refrigerated logistics to ensure they arrive at your door with maximum nutrient integrity and flavour. You can taste the difference.
Radical Sourcing Transparency
We believe you have the right to know where your food comes from. We proudly feature our farm partners, provide detailed information on our ingredient standards, and maintain one of the cleanest, most transparent supply chains in the industry.
Proprietary Technology
Our entire platform, from the user dashboard to our kitchen management software, is built in-house. This gives us unparalleled flexibility to innovate, personalize, and create a truly responsive and intuitive experience for our customers.
A Culture of Cleanliness and Care
Your trust is our most important asset, and we earn it by maintaining the most rigorous standards of food safety and hygiene in our state-of-the-art, USDA and FDA-regulated kitchens. Our facilities are designed for excellence, with temperature-controlled environments, advanced air filtration systems, and a layout optimized to prevent cross-contamination. Every member of our culinary team undergoes extensive training in food safety protocols, including Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) certification. We conduct regular internal audits and welcome third-party inspections to ensure we not only meet but exceed industry standards. From the moment an ingredient enters our facility to the moment your meal is sealed, every step is monitored, logged, and executed with meticulous care. This obsession with safety means you can enjoy every NourishNow meal with complete peace of mind, knowing it was prepared in an environment of absolute integrity.
Nourishing Our Communities
Our mission to promote wellness extends beyond our customers to the communities we serve. We believe that as a food company, we have a profound responsibility to combat food insecurity and promote nutritional education.
Fighting Food Insecurity
Through our partnership with "The Full Plate Project," we donate a portion of our proceeds and any surplus, perfectly safe meals to local food banks and shelters. We are committed to ensuring that our success helps to provide nutritious food for those who need it most in our communities. To date, we have donated over 50,000 meals.
Promoting Food Education
We partner with local schools and community centers to run workshops on healthy eating and basic cooking skills. Our dietitians and chefs volunteer their time to empower the next generation with the knowledge they need to build healthy habits for life. We believe education is the most sustainable path to long-term wellness.
