About BridgMed Health

At BridgMed, we’ve leveraged the latest technology to forge a new approach to health and wellness by bridging the gap between what we eat and who we are using the power of Culinary Medicine. Our philosophy is rooted in the knowledge that food is a vital part of the human experience. Inspired by ancient wisdom and backed by modern science, it all starts with what we choose to put on our plate.

Our team is passionate about transforming people’s attitudes toward food and health. Through The Healing TableTM, we provide practical, accessible, tasty, and enjoyable customized solutions to improve dietary habits and overall well-being. Beyond simply what nutrients we consume, the how, where, when, why and with whom we choose to dine are increasingly emerging as critical variables in the food-health equation.

Our Vision

We envision a world where every individual’s health, wellness, and balance are intrinsically linked to a sustainable ecosystem. In this world, food is not just sustenance but a vital connection to the earth and community, promoting holistic well-being for all.

Our Mission

Our mission is to revolutionize the food-health relationship, beginning with the individual and extending to the wider community. Through our Culinary Medicine Solution, we aim to transform dietary habits, combat diet-related disabilities and diseases, and inspire a global shift towards healthier, more sustainable eating practices.

Culinary Medicine

“Revolutionizing food-health relationships through Culinary Medicine.”

Culinary Medicine: A New Perspective on Health

Culinary Medicine is an emerging field of study that combines Culinary Arts with Medical Science. It emphasizes the importance of our individual food experiences in defining our food relationship. It is this relationship that provides the framework to prevent and manage diet related chronic diseases like obesity and type II diabetes. At BridgMed, our Culinary Medicine approach focuses on:

  • Accurate data: The observation “garbage in, garbage out,” applies to the food health relationship. We employ state-of-the-art technology that allows us to acquire and process accurate information concerning what you eat with only a cell phone picture.
  • Understanding Food as Information: Utilizing the latest in complex adaptive systems modeling and artificial intelligence to identify how each unique foods experience affects our health and wellness.
  • Holistic Health: Information systems are, by their very nature, holistic in implementation. At BridgMed we understands that each individual processes information differently, and this ultimately affects the expression of critical, health-related parameters.
  • Educational Resources: Knowledge empowers us. Unlike traditional “just eat this, not that” programs or meal plans, we work with you, offering personalized instruction, classes, and digital content to help you make better and more delicious food choices.
  • Community Support: Connecting you with a network of experts and like-minded individuals on a similar journey.

The IMBAS Difference

A strong and profitable Culinary Medicine program starts with preparing hospital and ambulatory practice network staff to undergo patient care using new, evidence-based managed information. But it can go much further.

IMBAS can:

Evaluate your food sourcing to make recommendations as needed to bring your hospital in line with Culinary Medicine Approved Kitchen (CMAK) measures.

Through our alliance with the American Culinary Federation (ACF), IMBAS evaluates hospital and healthcare entity menus and food guidance information to bring in the true richness that healthy food can offer you by trained, certified ACF chefs.

Hospital (and other healthcare entities) garden assistance. Beginning with the implementation of a ‘demonstration’ garden and evaluating the feasibility of it becoming a food source of its own.

  • When we speak of food and health today, we do so only in terms of nutrients and calories. But we do not eat nutrients or calories. We never have. We eat food.
  • Yet the current conversation is controlled by a food industry that manufactures, advertises, and sells proprietary ultra-processed products. Since the end of World War II, the entire world has been undergoing an unprecedented nutritional transformation: from traditional to ultra-processed products. It is the first time in the history of humankind that we have subjected our bodies to such a magnitude of artificial food matrices and to so many ingredients and additives of strictly industrial origin.
  • The myth that Good Health is simply the result of a few randomly chosen “Good” or “Bad” nutrients must change.
About Bridgmed Health

Why has healthcare so epically failed?

  • Most of the food consumed today is manufactured, ultra-processed food (UPF), an unprecedented nutritional transformation away from traditional foods.

  • The focus on nutrients and calories has subjected our bodies to artificial food matrices of strictly industrial origin for the first time in the history of humankind.

  • The myth that Good Health is simply the result of a few randomly chosen “Good” or “Bad” nutrients must change.

IMBAS’ Innovative Approach

The relationship people have with
the food they eat is complex

An innovative approach that moves beyond an oversimplified one nutrient-one effect is needed.
It must account for the food matrix as well as nutrient composition;

  • it must consider along with What We Eat,
  • the How, Why, When, Where,
  • and With Whom We Choose to Consume our comestibles.
  • It starts with the Root Cause, with what we eat.

From age 5 onward, almost 70%
of the average American’s diet is ultra-processed food (UPFs).

Reversal of the Healthcare Crisis

IMBAS’ Key Areas of Focus

  • Reducing the percentage of UPFs that people eat is the initial focus because it represents close to 70% of what people eat.

  • Educate patients, through a team approach, to avoid replacing real food with UPF alternatives that make them sicker.

  • Start by identifying baseline measures, beginning with the % of UPFs, and to create a plan for gradual reduction.

  • Additional measures are then integrated into a managed information network solution that sets a course for a sustainable, positive dietary change.

  • IMBAS is much more than a new diet plan.

  • A key objective is to reverse the course of epidemic diseases positively affecting patient outcomes, reducing and eliminating the need to medication in the future.
