Promising study on low-salt fasting-mimicking diet for chronic kidney disease
New program prescribes medically tailored meals to patients to manage chronic conditions and improve health outcomes
Nourish, the leading food-as-medicine platform announced a strategic partnership with ModifyHealth to expand its food-as-medicine program. Through this collaboration, individuals across the country can now order medically tailored meals prescribed by registered dietitians (RDs) directly through the Nourish platform, helping to overcome both geographical and financial barriers to food security.
1 in 8 Americans face food insecurity, and the problem is even more pronounced among those with chronic illnesses. Individuals struggling with food insecurity are more likely to experience poor health outcomes and higher healthcare costs. Medically tailored meals have been shown to improve health outcomes, reduce hospitalisations, and lower overall healthcare costs by ensuring patients receive the nutrition they need to manage their conditions effectively.
Nourish’s new partnership with ModifyHealth will make high-quality nourishment a reality for more people, especially those facing barriers to accessing nutritious food. ModifyHealth will deliver medically tailored meals prescribed by Nourish’s registered dietitians directly to patients’ doors. These meals are expertly designed to meet specific dietary needs, helping people manage chronic conditions and improve overall health.
