🚨 The Problem: Why Nutrition-Based Healthcare is Failing Millions
In the U.S., poor nutrition is a leading cause of chronic diseases, contributing to $4.1 trillion in annual healthcare costs (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2023)【1】. Despite the undeniable connection between diet and health, many Americans—especially those in low-income communities—lack access to evidence-based, personalized nutrition plans.
📌 Key Facts on Nutrition and Chronic Disease:
✔ 1 in 3 adults in the U.S. has prediabetes or diabetes (American Diabetes Association, 2023)【2】.
✔ 1 in 2 adults suffers from high blood pressure, largely due to diet (CDC, 2023)【3】.
✔ 80% of chronic diseases could be prevented through diet and lifestyle changes (Harvard School of Public Health, 2023)【4】.
Despite these staggering numbers, current healthcare systems provide very little support for personalized nutrition.
🚨 Major Gaps in Nutrition-Based Healthcare:
❌ Lack of nutrition counseling in primary care settings
❌ No standardized meal-planning services for chronic disease patients
❌ Little to no insurance coverage for medically tailored meals
❌ A disconnect between doctors, dietitians, and patient meal plans
This is where MenuDoctor steps in—to bridge the gap between healthcare and personalized nutrition solutions.
