Health & Wellness Leaders Band Together to End Chronic Disease by Inceitiving Root Cause Medicine
Leaders of CrossFit, Sweetgreen, Thrive Market, Athletic Greens, Momentous, Pendulum, Plunge, and dozens of other health and wellness companies are joining together to an advocacy group to share stories of how Americans are using healthy food, exercise, and other root cause actions to reverse chronic conditions.
The chronic disease crisis is an economic and national security emergency. 9 out of 10 American deaths and 95% of medical costs are tied to preventable chronic diseases. Nearly 80% of young adults are overweight or obese, and 40% of 18-year-olds meet the criteria for a mental health disorder. 77% of young adults don’t qualify for the military based on their health scores.
"When it comes to reversing chronic disease, we are not following the science,” said Calley Means, co-founder of the organization. “Food interventions and exercise are often the most effective interventions to reverse conditions like depression and heart disease - but medical incentives only pay for antidepressants and statins. We will not drug our way out of the chronic disease crisis. We must incentivize items that actually reverse disease.
Join us in telling lawmakers that Americans are entitled to choose where their healthcare dollars go - and that choice should include medically incentivized food and exercise interventions.
