They say food is fuel - but what if it could also be medicine? In this episode, Chris and Melissa sit down with Emily Brown, Co-Founder and CEO of Attane Health, to explore how food can power personal and community health.
Emily - who draws on her own experiences as a former Medicaid beneficiary and a parent managing chronic health conditions - reimagines healthcare by empowering underserved families with personalized, nutritious food options.
Attane Health delivers culturally tailored groceries, one-on-one telehealth coaching, and food prescriptions in collaboration with health plans to help manage chronic conditions, emphasizing that “food is medicine”.
Join us for an inspiring conversation on turning food into actionable medicine, and transforming policy, systems and individual lives.
