275 Studies Showing Food, Exercise and Supplements ARE medicine

HSA and FSA accounts were created so patients can use pretax money to pay for “expenses incurred primarily for the prevention or alleviation of a physical or mental defect or illness.”

‍

It might not be surprising to you that healthy food, exercise, and supplements are often the best possible medicine that prevents and reverses specific conditions. But this IS surprising to the current healthcare system, where 80% of medical schools do not require a single nutrition course.

‍

Our goal is to unlock tax-advantaged HSA/FSA eligible spending for qualified consumers. We do this by partnering with licensed providers who understand "food-as-medicine" research and use this knowledge to issue Letters of Medical Necessity recommending these root cause interventions to reverse or prevent specific conditions.

‍

Each recommendation made through TrueMed is backed by peer-reviewed research. We've outlined 275 studies below. Check them out and visit this page to see how you can seamlessly use TrueMed to unlock HSA/FSA spending at your favorite merchants.
