About NourishedRx

NourishedRx is on a mission to eradicate poor diet and nutrition insecurity as top drivers of death, disease and disparities.

Founded in 2019, NourishedRx is a digital health and nutrition

company that helps people live healthier lives. Leveraging the healing and connective power of food, NourishedRx partners with healthcare organizations to nourish their most vulnerable members, build healthy relationships, and support health equity.

Poor diet is the top driver of death, disease and disparities in the US, and the relationship between diet and health is worsening at an alarming rate.

90% of US adults don't get enough fruits and vegetables, 74% of Americans have overweight or obesity (more than triple the rate in 1960), 93% of US adults have poor cardiometabolic health, and 17 million US households are food insecure.

These trends are heightened with racial and ethnic minority groups, contributing to health and economic disparities. Since 2019, NourishedRx has partnered with healthcare organizations to nourish their most vulnerable members, build healthy relationships, and support health equity.

Join us in revolutionizing healthcare through food.
