Today, 75% of America's healthcare dollars are used to treat nutrition-related diseases. Yet only 0.5% of benefits dollars are spent on food. 

This lopsided approach to health is why bitewell exists. Our easy-to-use digital food farmacy and proprietary food health score makes the healthy choice becomes the easy choice — at meal time and beyond. Because we know you have to address food if you're to address healthcare costs. 

To learn how bitewell's digital food farmacy can support your team, book a demo today.

Plus, healthy food benefits mean engaging and motivating your team at this time when securing your top employees means standing out from your competitors.

But don’t just take our word for it. The Validation Institute recently validated bitewell’s FoodHealth Score, i.e. our 0-10 food scoring system that rates a food’s effectiveness in positively impacting a person’s health condition, and the health outcomes that come with it.

To quote Linda Riddell, the Validation Institute’s Chief Data Scientist: “Our review found that bitewell’s development of the FoodHealth Score used credible data sources and appropriate statistical models. The Score was shown to have a strong link to health outcomes, such as blood pressure and blood glucose (HbA1c) and thus achieved FoodMed Certified for outcomes from Validation Institute.”

To learn more about the FoodHealth Score and how it’s improving health outcomes for people with high blood pressure, cholesterol, A1c and more – you can read the full report here: https://bit.ly/43pRXlg

Do you want to sell more food?

Make sure people know it's healthy.

In a simple test conducted by the International Food Information Council, 55% of people chose a snack labeled “healthy” over an identical snack without that label.

And people are willing to pay for it.

40% of those people would pay 30% more for the "healthy" swap.

15% of those people would pay as high as 50% more.

The pre-requisite for paying higher prices? A clear labeling system that helps people understand if a food is healthy, or not.

Sounds like the bitewell #FoodHealthScore to me....

Excited to partner with Cherry Creek School District, in collaboration with Jesse Soffer / Aon, to provide employees with bitewell’s food and nutrition benefit!

We are thrilled to be attending The Denver Polo Classic benefiting The Denver Children's Foundation on Saturday, July 13th! Interested in attending the event? Discover more here!

What you eat has a profound effect on your health. 

In fact, food is one of the most impactful factors in a person’s overall health and wellness. That's why the research consistently shows that dietary habits not only influence disease risk but also have the ability to offer strong protective qualities against acute and chronic conditions.

For example:

🥕 A study by Tufts University found that a 30% Medicare and Medicaid subsidy for fresh vegetables and fruit could prevent 300,000+ premature deaths from cardiovascular events.

🥕 A study in the Journal of the American Medical Association concluded that offering nationwide medically tailored meal benefits to individuals with diabetes, heart disease, or cancer could save more than $180 billion in medical costs.

🥕 Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina published data in the New England Journal of Medicine that found members with Type 2 diabetes in Affordable Care Act plans could save $139 in total medical costs per member per month if they were enrolled in a food as medicine delivery program.

Of course, knowing this information doesn’t always translate into eating foods that are best for you. Schedules get busy. Stress happens. And it’s not always clear what’s good for you and what’s not.

That’s why through the FoodHealth Score at the digital food farmacy, we do our best to make the healthy choice, the easy choice.

We were thrilled to host WBL (Women Business Leaders of the US Health Care Industry Foundation) at our office, connecting with female leaders across the healthcare industry, and show the screening for our new docuseries!

A special thank you to Lynn Poulos, Dawn Maloney, and Jessica Erb.

In today’s world, we typically associate change with metrics – be it pounds dropped, lowered LDL levels, etc. And while we love to measure things like that at bitewell, it’s important to note that these kinds of measurements are lag indicators – i.e. they let you know when the work you’ve done has worked.

But to stay on track – you have to know that what you’re doing now is going to deliver the metrics we want. Hence this post. 

So, without further ado, here are five unexpected signals that your food choices are going to deliver the results you want.

1. You’re regular.

Believe it or not, going #2 regularly and easily is one of the best signals that what you’re eating is working for you. So, if you weren’t regular and, now, you are – it’s a really good indication that what you’re eating is working for you. 

2. You have less pain.

Pain is a signal that your body is inflamed. As what you eat plays a key role in inflammation, it's only natural that pain lessens when you consume good-for-you foods. That’s why people often report feeling less pain when they switch to a diet that works with their body (v. against it).

3. You’re sleeping better.

Studies show that nutrition influences the quality of one's sleep, and that certain foods (and drinks) can make it easier or harder to get the sleep that you need. Hence why you know you’re eating foods that work for you when you sleep better.

4. You have more energy in the afternoon.

The 3:00pm crash is almost always a direct result of what you eat. Thing is, most people don’t know that. But now you do – which is why increased energy in the afternoon is a clear signal that your food choices are aligning with your body’s needs. 

5. You’re calmer.

The brain and gut are connected. As a result, what you eat affects your mental state. Hence why studies consistently show that when people eat foods that positively impact your gut, people can prevent and better manage stress.

Join WBL (Women Business Leaders of the US Health Care Industry Foundation) members for a happy hour on Thursday, June 13 at our Denver headquarters!
