Thanks for the shoutout Madeline Darcy! What would healthcare (and healthcare costs) look like if we didn't just get a prescription for medication but we also got a prescription for lifestyle interventions and engaging tools to help us on our journey? That's why we're building Wellen.
Enjoyed sharing our viewpoints on the weight management world with the Axios team. At Kaya Ventures, we see a cultural shift underway from viewing obesity as a failure of one's lifestyle choices to a chronic condition. We believe the market is ripe for new solutions that go beyond medication to broader lifestyle interventions (e.g., nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress management). Examples include startups such as Found, Culina Health, and Wellen. Shout-out to Aaron Weitzman for including us. Read his work below on Axios ⬇ https://lnkd.in/gCxkvWMD #startups #healthcare #weightloss

“It’s really difficult to overstate just how much menopause affects our physical and mental well-being.” Unfortunately, this includes losing up to 10% of bone mass in the first five years after menopause. That’s one of the reasons we interviewed Jacqueline Giannelli RN, MSN, FNP-BC, NCMP, Founding Nurse Practitioner of Elektra Health. As we wrap up World Menopause Awareness Month, we’re sharing Jackie’s interview to shed light on the various aspects of menopause and provide valuable insights for women navigating this significant life transition. https://lnkd.in/eiFFw5yY

How does someone know if they have low bone density and are at an increased risk of fracture? A DXA scan is the gold standard tool for measuring bone density at the hip, spine, and wrist. At Wellen, we're giving people the resources they need to live healthy lives with healthy bones. We've covered everything you need to know about DXA scans in our latest Well Guide article.
