What is Nutrisense?
Nutrisense is a metabolic health platform that combines FreeStyle Libre CGM sensors with registered dietitian coaching through a dedicated app. Founded in 2019, it's built on a simple premise: CGM data is only useful if you know what to do with it. By pairing hardware with human expertise, Nutrisense bridges the gap between raw glucose numbers and meaningful lifestyle change.
Every Nutrisense subscriber gets monthly CGM sensors, access to the Nutrisense app, and a set number of chat-based sessions with a registered dietitian (RD) who reviews your actual glucose data and provides personalized nutrition and lifestyle recommendations.
This is Nutrisense's core differentiator. Levels Health has a more sophisticated app. Stelo and Lingo are cheaper. But no other OTC CGM platform gives you a real human expert reviewing your data and telling you what to change.
Registered dietitian coaching — how it works
Who are the dietitians? Nutrisense employs registered dietitians — credentialed healthcare professionals with at minimum a bachelor's degree in nutrition, a supervised practice program, and a national exam. These are not wellness coaches or nutritionists without credentials; RDs are the highest credential in nutrition practice.
What does coaching look like? Your RD reviews your glucose data directly in the Nutrisense platform. They can see your spikes, your time in range, your meal logs, and your patterns over time. Coaching happens via in-app messaging — you send questions, photos of meals, or notes about symptoms, and your RD responds with personalized guidance.
How many sessions are included? This varies by plan. Entry-level plans typically include a set number of RD messages per month; higher-tier plans include unlimited messaging and video calls.
Most people who wear CGM for the first time don't know how to interpret what they're seeing. A reading of 160 mg/dL after lunch — is that bad? Normal? Concerning? An RD can answer that in the context of your age, health goals, diet, and overall pattern. That context transforms data into action.
The Nutrisense app — data meets guidance
The Nutrisense app is built around the coaching workflow. Your glucose data streams from your FreeStyle Libre sensor and appears in the app alongside your food logs, activity notes, and RD conversations. It's designed to make your data legible to both you and your dietitian.
Glucose visualization is clear and well-designed — you see your curve throughout the day, meal responses, and trend lines over weeks. The app doesn't have the same algorithmic sophistication as Levels Health's scoring system, but it covers everything you need for productive coaching sessions.
Food logging is fast — photo logging, barcode scanning, and a large food database. The app shows your glucose response overlaid on your meal log, making it easy to see which specific foods drove a spike.
Reports can be generated and shared with your RD or your own doctor — useful for people who want to bring their metabolic data into a clinical conversation.
How much does Nutrisense cost?
Nutrisense pricing varies by coaching frequency. All plans include FreeStyle Libre sensors and app access:
Monthly plan: approximately $299/month — includes sensors and a set number of RD coaching messages per month.
Annual plan: approximately $179–199/month billed annually — meaningfully cheaper and the best value for committed users.
Sensor-only: Nutrisense also offers a sensor-only option without coaching for users who want the app but not the RD sessions.
A single session with a registered dietitian typically costs $100–200 out of pocket. Nutrisense's coaching is delivered by the same credential level, bundled with your CGM sensors. For people who would otherwise pay separately for both, Nutrisense often represents good value.
