For the average monthly grocery spend of $630, the decline translates to a $416 annual reduction in purchases.
These savings are significant for the patient—but represent a major revenue blow to the grocery industry. Within this trend, however, is the issue of how to nutritionally support GLP-1 diets, because long term success with type-2 diabetes and obesity means support for long-term dietary change. And this support represents a way in which retailers may be able to recoup some of that revenue.
Sifter’s medically tailored grocery (MTG) technology can open up the store for these patients by spotlighting healthy options in support of their GLP-1 therapy. Basically, Sifter can help to convert binge eating and impulse purchases into intentional healthy choices. Connecting patients to the specific grocery foods that support their medical condition makes it easier for them to manage GLP-1 and other chronic health conditions through diet. Less frustration, higher compliance, better results.
Our evidence-based dietary algorithms identify grocery food eligibility for persons on a GLP-1 diet—before, during and after treatments, starting with our “GLP-1 Food Choices” filter. And we support hundreds of chronic health conditions, including diabetes, kidney disease, IBS, heart health, and food allergies, as well as religious and cultural preferences. It's even possible to create targeted MTG lists that take account of a patient's ingredient likes and dislikes.
For instance, a medically tailored grocery list for a patient on a GLP-1 diet would include foods limited in carbohydrates and added sugars, and rich in nutrition. If the patient comes from a cultural background where rice or pasta is central to their diet, they may find it difficult to incorporate many of the foods normally recommend. However, Sifter can identify rice and grain products that support a diabetes diet and appeal to the patient's taste preferences. It's a game-changer when designing prescriptive eating plans that have staying power.
Sifter makes it possible for healthcare professionals to optimize their GLP-1 prescriptions, and supports retailers in making it easy for these shoppers to easily find more products that support these diets.
This is why hospital networks and health professionals rely on Sifter to fuel more effective Food as Medicine programs that improve health outcomes and lower healthcare costs.
