Berry Street is on a mission to transform how Americans eat through nutrition therapy. Berry Street’s platform connects individuals needing evidence-based nutrition care with an expansive network of Registered Dietitians and AI-powered tools. From weight management, diabetes, and heart health to kidney disease, maternal health, and 25+ other conditions, Berry Street’s clinical team delivers personalized nutrition interventions tailored to each patient's unique physiological and psychological needs, improving outcomes and reducing total cost of care. Berry Street works with some of the largest health plans, as well as leading health systems and innovative care management companies to serve diverse populations across all 50 states.
Berry Street empowers independent dietitians to accept insurance and grow thriving private practices by providing comprehensive credentialing, scheduling, referral, and technical support, as well as access to a vibrant, collaborative clinician community. Dietitians working with Berry Street are committed to these pillars of high-quality care:
- Evidence-based: We provide quality care based on the latest clinical research. We actively track the quality of care to ensure better health outcomes and behavior change.
- Approachable: Through client education and nutrition therapy, we utilize a realistic, sustainable approach to create behavior change that lasts.
- Personalized: Our care plans are customized for each client based on their individual needs and concerns.
- Compassionate: We approach our work with compassion and empathy, working closely with our clients and their care teams to create meaningful change.
- Relationship-driven: You believe that successful behavior change comes from building deep, long-term relationships with your clients.
The Role
Berry Street is building a nutrition-first metabolic care model that pairs dietitian-led treatment with the clinical rigor and guidance required to operate at national scale. We are seeking Physicians (MD or DO) to provide senior clinical oversight across programs that require medical leadership – ensuring quality, safety, and regulatory readiness as Berry Street expands into more regulated care environments. You’ll help set the clinical standards that enable thousands of patients to receive evidence-based nutrition care, while supporting new programs, stronger measurement, and continued clinical expansion. You’ll work closely with dietitians, operations, and leadership, and serve as a credible clinical voice with payers, partners, and regulators.
