Epicured

With Thanksgiving approaching, those who manage chronic diseases may be concerned about navigating a therapeutic diet while enjoying festive traditions. The intersection of #food and #health is a powerful one, and by understanding this connection, we can better support patients and promote well-being. Key Tips for Navigating the Holidays: ✅ Consider Swaps: Many traditional Thanksgiving recipes can be adapted to be low FODMAP by substituting certain ingredients (Ex: swapping garlic powder for garlic-infused oil). ✅ Embrace New Recipes: Explore health and wellness-driven cookbooks and online resources for #medicallytailored recipe ideas. ✅ Communicate Clearly: If attending a holiday gathering, don't hesitate to communicate any dietary needs with the host. ✅ Focus on Self-Care: Remember that stress and other factors can also trigger symptoms. Prioritize self-care, manage stress, and get enough sleep to support overall well-being. At Epicured, we believe that food should be celebrated, not stressed over –  it’s why we’re constantly expanding our #nutritionsolutions to make healthy eating accessible and enjoyable.

This week, at the Neverland: L'Isola che non c'è Gala, we joined hundreds of others to recognize the extraordinary work of the food pantry, A Chance In Life. This year, they will serve over 5,000 children in 12 countries around the world, fostering food security, education, community building, and leadership development. Huge congratulations to their entire team – their work is truly inspiring! Epicured is proud to be included in the Fair Start initiative, delivering meals to A Chance In Life through a collaboration with Staten Island Performing Provider System and Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. We are providing focused nutrition solutions to underserved communities, including NYCHA residents, Medicaid participants, local veterans and active duty personnel. The Fair Start study aims to understand how access to healthy food can enhance other public health interventions. By investigating these connections, we can develop more effective strategies to combat food insecurity and improve overall well-being. This program allows us to learn constructive ways to understand, support and work with the Staten Island community. We will encompass these critical learnings and innovative practices to further support vulnerable communities and ameliorate health disparities utilizing the Section 1115 Waiver.

As the upcoming Jewish holidays herald the beginning of the holiday season, Epicured understands the cherished role of food in our celebrations.   Holidays, across an array of cultures, are often marked by the preparation and sharing of traditional foods that carry deep symbolic meaning, reinforcing communal bonds and honoring heritage. Identifying and celebrating this #culturaldiversity in food practices can serve as a powerful platform to foster unity and shared understanding. Across cultures, food is also recognized for its nurturing and medicinal properties, such as special meals provided after childbirth, post-operative, and during other times of healing. By embracing the richness of these #traditions and recognizing the potential of #foodismedicine, we can create a more inclusive, sustainable, and health-driven society, ultimately reducing the burden of chronic disease and promoting equity in food care.

Healthcare initiatives about #foodismedicine are often looked at as “pilots” instead of “pivots” in the way that we manage or prevent disease and impact wellness. At Epicured, we’ve been working in the Food is Medicine (FIM) space since 2016, and we know it’s time to accelerate the implementation of #nutritionsolutions that improve #healthoutcomes, lower healthcare costs, and enhance patient/member experiences. For us, this isn’t a fad – we must work together to cement the discussion about the best ways food can deliver on the promise of a better future for #healthcare and #wellness for all as opposed to whether nutrition solutions can achieve these goals. We’re excited to re-launch our Partners in Health (PIH) network with this expanded mission in mind. Our goal is to align with other FIM organizations and professionals to “throw fuel on the fire” of the movement together to help more people, more quickly! Why should you sign up? ✅ Contribute your voice and support to the movement! Our PIH community is open to anyone in the healthcare industry who is working on Food is Medicine and wants to talk best practices for improving health outcomes through #nutrition and food. ✅ Meet and connect with like-minded healthcare professionals eager to collaborate around food is medicine initiatives around the country. ✅ Access our FIM resources: We’re building the industry’s most comprehensive resource of food is medicine content – from clinical resources to the latest news and innovations. ✅ Add your expertise to our network, which already includes 6,000 clinicians.
