The story
Founded in 1972 as a brick-and-mortar weight-loss center operator, Nutrisystem shifted to a direct-to-consumer meal delivery and digital coaching model. After going public and back private via PE backing, it now operates as a subscription-based weight management and prepackaged meal delivery service. Nutrisystem has expanded its portfolio through acquisitions such as Adaptive Health (formerly Direct Digital), broadening its health and wellness product footprint beyond core diet programs.
