We’ve been talking a lot about the problems with medicine, and some have been asking how I’m trying to solve them.
I wanted to share more about the company I’m devoting the bulk of my time to – which is trying to fix the core issue of incentivizing people to be healthy.
This sounds simple, but is a big deal because 95% of healthcare costs currently occur after someone gets sick.
This makes no sense: if a smart alien came to earth and saw our health issues (obesity, heart disease, diabetes, and other associated food-based conditions), they would never say to wait for everyone to get sick and then prescribe pills (our current system). They would ask how we can keep people healthy.
TrueMed is a payment integration that enables qualified customers to use pre-tax HSA/FSA funds to purchase health-promoting products or services from their favorite merchants.
Soon, the TrueMed payment option will be available right in the checkout flow of merchants that sell healthy food, supplements, exercise equipment, and other health and wellness products.
If you are a merchant who would like to accept HSA/FSA funds, please reach out or fill out our form here.
If you are an individual excited about saving money and using pre-tax HSA/FSA funds on healthy food, check out our website.
And here’s a video where I explain the company in more detail.
