Food as Medicine: Why Your Company's Food Strategy Is a Health Strategy
The single biggest input into chronic disease, energy, and cognitive performance is also the most ignored: food. Drawing on three decades of functional medicine practice, Dr. Hyman lays out the food-as-medicine framework — and what every organization needs to know about how their food strategy is, actually, their health strategy.
