Hey Nouri Co-founders

The gap we couldn't ignore

"We would never tell a child with depression that their treatment plan is to just smile more. So why do we accept just cut out the soda as a treatment for pediatric obesity? Reducing pediatric obesity to willpower ignores complex biological, developmental, and environmental forces at play.

Kids do not simply grow out of metabolic disease. Without the right support, they grow into it. Nearly 40% of children and teens in the U.S. are overweight or obese, yet most families are left to navigate this alone. We built Hey Nouri to change the story. We are making expert, science-backed pediatric care accessible to every family who needs it.

Early support does not just change a number on the scale. It shapes lifelong health, confidence, and emotional well-being. As a doctor and a mom, we have seen firsthand how overwhelming this journey can feel for families. That is why we designed care that is comprehensive, developmentally appropriate, and built for real life."

We can really make a difference

Hey Nouri is setting the standard for pediatric obesity treatment, with an innovative care model that makes change stick.

Physical health

Stop health problems early

Small early changes can prevent diabetes, fatty liver disease, and other long-term health issues. We help kids build habits that protect their health.

Future path

Shape their future

Healthy habits built in childhood shape how kids feel, think, and move through life. We help them build skills and confidence they carry with them for the rest of their life.

Because obesity isn't just about weight.
Mental health

Protect their confidence

Weight struggles can affect self-esteem, friendships, and mood. Our coaches help kids build confidence, resilience, and a healthier relationship with their body.

Our mission & values

We exist to ensure every child has access to the care they need to grow healthy.

A real system does not rely on willpower.

Kids do not struggle with weight because they lack discipline. Biology, environment, habits, and emotions all play a role. Real change comes from structured support.

Real change means treating the whole child.

Health is more than food. Sleep, movement, emotions, and environment all shape how kids grow. Short-term diets and medication alone don't work. Lasting change only happens when we care for every part of the picture.

Habits aren't built at annual check-ins

Real progress lives in the everyday. That's why Hey Nouri is woven into daily life, with habit-based science, consistent support, and reminders that keep kids and families on track between appointments.

Modern care that meets families where they are.

The whole family needs to be involved, and barriers need to be removed. Hey Nouri fits into busy schedules, removes the need to travel, and makes expert care something every family can actually access.

Built on established medical guidelines

Our care model follows American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines and uses only FDA-approved medications for children. It was developed with experts across Harvard Medical School, the University of Michigan, and the University of Iowa.
