We’re proud to share that Brenda Navin, Founder and CEO of Launch My Health, has been featured as a contributor by the Wharton Healthcare Alumni Association, offering her perspective on a question that sits at the heart of the future of healthcare: What if food and nutrition were treated as foundational care rather than an afterthought?
In her article, “To Your Health: Rethinking the Prescription – Food as the Future of Healthcare,” Brenda challenges healthcare leaders to rethink when and how nutrition enters the care journey.
Rather than waiting until chronic disease has taken hold, she makes the case for moving nutrition upstream – giving people earlier access to evidence-based, personalized support that can help change health trajectories before risk becomes disease.
Readers will find Brenda’s perspective on:
- Why nutrition remains underutilized in today’s healthcare system
- The structural and access barriers that keep nutrition on the sidelines
- How digital and scalable models can expand access to nutrition support
- The opportunity to more deeply integrate nutrition into primary care
- Why advancing Food Is Medicine requires not only new solutions, but a fundamental shift in how we think about prevention and care
At Launch My Health, these ideas are deeply connected to the future we’re working to build: one where nutrition is accessible earlier, prevention is prioritized, and people have practical tools to take an active role in their health.
We’re honored to see Brenda’s perspective featured by the Wharton Healthcare Alumni Association and grateful to the Wharton Healthcare community for creating a forum for this important conversation.
A special thank you to Z. Colette Edwards, MD, MBA for her support and for helping create opportunities to advance conversations like these across the healthcare community.
