Food as Medicine: Why multinational employers should act now

The article explores the growing relevance of the "Food as Medicine" (FaM) movement and its potential for multinational employers to improve employee wellbeing while reducing healthcare costs. FaM is a key component of Lifestyle Medicine, which promotes holistic health through nutrition, physical activity, sleep, stress management, and social connection. Poor nutrition is a major contributor to chronic diseases and rising healthcare expenses, yet it remains under-addressed in many corporate wellness programs. Countries like Germany, Japan, and Mexico are taking national steps to promote healthier eating, and employers are encouraged to follow suit. FaM is not just a concept but a clinical approach that integrates nutritional science into healthcare, using food to prevent, manage, and even reverse chronic conditions. Employers can support FaM through strategies involving access to healthy meals and education, technology like wearables and digital platforms, and clinical pathways that include dietitians and personalized nutrition plans. The article highlights successful initiatives from companies around the world, including healthy cafeterias in India, plant-based programs in the U.S., and on-site nutritionists in the UK. Ultimately, the authors argue that employers have a unique opportunity to lead the FaM movement by tailoring programs to local cultures and needs, thereby fostering a healthier, more productive workforce.The article explores the growing relevance of the "Food as Medicine" (FaM) movement and its potential for multinational employers to improve employee wellbeing while reducing healthcare costs.
