From 0 to 80,000 telehealth nutrition sessions in just 4 years.

That's the incredible journey of Culina Health, a game-changer in the fight against chronic illness.

Founded by two passionate registered dietitians, this health tech startup is on a mission to make nutrition care accessible to everyone.

Here's the kicker: 90% of Americans could benefit from seeing a dietitian, but only 0.02% ever do.

Culina Health is bridging that gap, and investors are taking notice.

They just secured a $7.9 million Series A round, bringing their total funding to $20 million.

Why? Because their approach works. They've prevented 100% of prediabetes patients from progressing to full diabetes.

And they're saving an average of $7,000 per patient per year.

That's not just good health - health insurance companies know it's smart business.

With plans to expand services and integrate AI, Culina Health is set to revolutionize how we approach nutrition and chronic disease management.

This is a great startup story that is a glimpse into the improved healthcare of the future...that is happening now.

A future where personalized nutrition support is just a click away, regardless of your background or circumstances.

Culina Health is proving that when it comes to our health, food really can be the best medicine.

Culina Health, the specialized nutrition startup, announced it had raised a $7.9 million Series A round, that will be used to expand its reach.
