Ultra-Processed Foods Are Driving a Health Crisis
‍

Modern diets and metabolic disease‍

Over 60% of the average American diet consists of ultra-processed foods. These foods are engineered for convenience, taste, and profit—not for health. The consequences are undeniable: rising obesity rates, systemic inflammation, and metabolic disease are impacting people of all ages. Traditional strategies like education and willpower aren’t enough. The problem isn’t individual choice—it’s a broken food system.

How Prado Brings Evidence-Based Nutrition to Patients
‍

Structured meal programs for better outcomes

‍Prado helps healthcare providers deliver clinically guided meal programs that improve metabolic health and ensure adherence. Patients receive structured meal bundles designed for their specific metabolic needs, translating complex nutrition guidance into practical daily actions.

‍

Key features include:

• Calorie-targeted and macronutrient-defined meal plans
• Pre-packaged meal bundles that mirror successful clinical trials
• Automated tracking to remove the burden of self-logging
• Adherence monitoring for healthcare providers

Driving Adherence With Technology

‍

Measuring what matters

‍Nutrition programs fail without adherence. Prado uses meal ordering as an objective adherence loop, giving providers real-time signals about patient compliance. Optional patient-reported metrics like satiety, hunger, and energy further enhance tracking.

‍

By integrating adherence into the delivery mechanism, Prado ensures patients stay on track—turning structured meal programs into measurable clinical interventions.

‍How Prado Makes Food as Medicine Accessible

‍

Affordable solutions for providers and patients

Prado also tackles the cost barrier that often prevents patients from accessing structured meal programs. By integrating with insurance, FSA/HSA benefits, and reimbursement pathways, Prado reduces out-of-pocket expenses while maintaining clinical rigor. This approach ensures that healthcare providers can scale programs efficiently, patients can adhere without financial stress, and outcomes improve consistently.
