What is Food as Medicine

Food as Medicine is a healthcare approach that treats nutrition as a core component of disease prevention and management.

Rather than viewing meals simply as sustenance, it recognizes that clinically designed nutrition can play a therapeutic role in managing chronic conditions, accelerating recovery, and improving overall well-being. In value-based care models, Food as Medicine integrates tailored meal programs directly into treatment plans to help patients adhere to dietary guidelines and improve outcomes.

The CookUnity Food as Medicine Difference

CookUnity’s medically tailored meals (MTMs) aren’t just compliant, they’re transformative.

Every bite delivers flavor, dignity, and therapeutic value. This is Food as Medicine that members want to eat — and providers want to prescribe.

We unite three pillars for maximum impact:
Award-winning chefs crafting meals that are crave-worthy and comforting.
Clinical oversight from dietitians trained at world-class hospitals to meet evidence-based nutritional guidelines.
Local sourcing to ensure peak freshness, cultural relevance, and better member engagement
