Sifter is the only technology platform that makes it easy to connect patients to grocery foods tailored for GLP-1 therapy. Dietitians, nutritionists, and other health professionals use Sifter to quickly generate a medically tailored grocery (MTG) shopping list for their GLP-1 patients. These MTGs align the patient's diet with the medication’s goals, help manage side effects, and promote better overall health outcomes. And they can be personalized to include additional health considerations.
Incorporating Sifter technology into a wraparound GLP-1 support program enables:
➤ Enhanced weight management. MTGs, designed to meet specific nutritional needs, can ensure the GLP-1 patient receives the right balance of calories and nutrients to support weight loss or maintenance. Sifter's GLP-1 Food Choices algorithm "sifts" widely available grocery products to identify nutrient-rich whole and packaged foods, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds, while focusing on whole grains and lean proteins and avoiding foods with added sugars, excess sodium, cholesterol, and high levels of saturated fat. This dietary filter identifies optimal GLP-1 food options across all grocery categories, including fresh, frozen, dried, and canned products.
➤ Tailored nutrition for chronic diet-related conditions. Because patients on GLP-1 drugs often have additional chronic conditions like heart disease, hypertension, or kidney disease, Sifter can further customize the MTGs to support these health needs. For example, our technology can identify grocery foods that limit sodium for hypertension, include heart-healthy fats for cardiovascular disease, or adjust protein intake for kidney disease.
➤ Side effect management. Common side effects of GLP-1 drugs include nausea and gastrointestinal discomfort. Sifter's sophisticated grocery product filtering can also exclude any "trigger" ingredients that may worsen the GLP-1 patient's side effects.
Optimal results for GLP-1 patients must include healthier eating patterns, so teaching them how to maintain a balanced, nutritious diet, even after they stop using the medications, is critical. Sifter makes it easier for you to create this sustainable MTG framework.
