Employers know what diabetes, obesity and other chronic conditions cost once they start showing up in claims. What’s much harder to put a number on is the value of helping an employee change course before those costs occur. That’s becoming an increasingly important question for HR and benefits leaders, and it’s why we started thinking...Read More

Healthcare costs continue to rise, driven by specialty medications, hospitalizations and chronic conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. But what if one of our biggest healthcare cost problems is actually a timing problem? We are very good at paying for care after someone becomes sick.

Employers have no shortage of wellbeing programs. And so a key question: are those programs actually changing health?

When employers think about nutrition, the conversation often starts and ends with weight loss. We think that’s far too narrow. Nutrition influences nearly every system in the body. The foods employees eat each day affect metabolic health, inflammation, cardiovascular health, gut health, brain function, healthy aging, diabetes risk, women’s health, and much more. Those outcomes...Read More

There’s a moment happening right now in healthcare that many of us have been quietly waiting for……and if you’ve ever worked inside a hospital, you feel it immediately.
