The problem

The evidence

The nutrition science is settled. Delivery is missing.

Over 4,000 studies on nutrition and chronic pain are indexed in PubMed, and the number grows every year.

How it works

You refer, we do the rest

Identify and refer

Your team captures consent and refers the patient in your EHR.

We onboard

Blood work at a nearby Quest, app intake and a dietitian telehealth kickoff with an initial plan.

We deliver the care

Patients track food and symptoms, and their dietitian adjusts the protocol and meal plan at monthly consultations.

You review and bill

Monthly outcome and billing data, billed under your NPI.

Aligned incentives

A win for patients, clinicians and payers

Patients

Feel better, and understand why

Less pain and fewer symptoms mean doing more of what they love, with a plan built for their body and support between visits.

Clinics and health systems

Better patient outcomes and new revenue

Structured dietitian care between visits improves outcomes and unlocks new revenue through reimbursement.

Payers

Lower the cost of chronic pain

Address nutrition-modifiable drivers of pain, like inflammation and weight, to reduce unnecessary procedures and specialty medication costs.
