Much needed and critical indeed!
Today in HealthLeaders: A national program aims to inject some new ideas into the #FoodasMedicine movement. Will health systems and hospitals add nutrition to their care management plans? https://lnkd.in/eBzmCBKu

A poor dietary pattern is the leading cause of early death and disability in the United States. Yes - it did used to be smoking, but that was quite a few years ago now. Healthcare workers must have the tools and resources to help their patients have the best outcomes. This is a stellar report of our next steps to make this happen. This report could be useful for anyone teaching policy in any healthcare program (see Table 2, physicians, PAs, NPs) and for all stakeholders (basically, everyone who wants to help improve health outcomes in the US through nutrition improvement). #healthservicesresearch #lifestylemedicine #nursepractitioners #healthpolicy #physicianassociate #physicians #physicianassistant #chronicdisease
Sharing a new article I co-wrote! A year ago last week, the White House held the second-in-50-year White House Conference on Hunger, Nutrition, and Health. Kim Corbin and I put together a piece for InsideSources on where Congress needs to go next to make sure we don't lose the momentum from the Conference. Our suggestions as staffers who worked on the Conference? Read below to hear how we think we need to move forward Food Is Medicine policy.

Timely and significant. There are however major hurdles and deliberate obstructions to overcome. From big pharma - which seems to be disproportionately threatened by the concept of food as medicine to anti-tech movements like the #UPF inquisition’s casual demonization of advanced food processing technologies developed and used to preserve the nutritional value, bioactives, anti-oxidants and health-promoting ingredients in foods (e.g. ultra-high temperature, ultra-high pressure, ultra-violet light, ultrasonics etc.) Which of course escalated to casual demonization of ALL industrial food processing, preservation and packaging.
A panel of experts at last week's U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions’ hearing explained how “food is medicine” programs can improve national health, reduce healthcare costs, and energize local food systems.

Food is not just a source of energy, but it can also be a powerful source of medicine. As we move towards a more holistic approach to healthcare, the idea of using food as medicine is gaining more attention. Clinical research has shown that natural foods can prevent and even cure a variety of health conditions. It's time to extend the use of natural food in clinical settings to promote better health outcomes. Let's work towards a healthier future with the power of food as medicine! #FoodAsMedicine #HolisticHealthcare #NaturalCures #PreventiveMedicine
So important bipartisan health and nutrition funding!
Won't you take a moment to send a message to Congress? Support funding for critical health and nutrition programs today.
Ultra-processed foods are everywhere in the news. Just how much do you know about their impact on health? We have an in depeth one day course coming up. The big issue of ultra-processed foods: Investigating the pathways to chronic disease A one-day course with Layla Gordon When: 05 June 2024, 10:00 to 16:30 Delivered: Live Online CPD: BANT + NNA + ION CPD 5 hours This course defines the emerging issue of ultra-processed foods and how they may be impacting our health. We will uncover the latest research linking UPF to chronic diseases, highlight the findings in this ever-growing area of concern, and identify strategies that healthcare practitioners can implement to provide awareness to allow clients the opportunity to minimize and avoid UPF.

Basic Health Access
2wStudies are needed. I fear that Medicaid SDoH Waivers are hurting CHCs most of all. 1. 50% Medicaid patients 2. marginal financials already 3. challenges with higher turnover costs 4. Medicaid Waiver is a 3% cut in Medicaid spending 5. that will shape fewer and lesser delivery team members 6. and give them more arrangements and resource lists to prepare before encounters 7. plus more duties at the time of encounters 8. plus follow ups, patient calls, and list updates and meetings with resource people We understand that our nation is way behind in investing in people, particularly in birth to age 8. Massive investments are needed and the most efficient and effective are the earliest. But interventions involving patients with outcomes inherently lowest over generations or in the elderly are questionable for meaningful and lasting improvements in outcomes. Our national, state, and insurance payment designs are shortening careers and driving off professionals and other team members. The designs have worsened over 40 years. We need to stop MELTED away nurses in hospitals and MELTED Away basic health access delivery team members. Stop designs that force more to do of higher complexity by fewer team members and lesser team members
