>ModifyHealth Partners with American College of Lifestyle Medicine in National Digital Series Spotlighting Lifestyle Intervention as a Pathway to Type 2 Diabetes Remission
ATLANTA, March 30, 2026 – ModifyHealth®, a nationwide leader in the food-as-medicine space, today announced its participation in Project Remission: A Lifestyle Medicine Approach to Type 2 Diabetes, an ambitious national digital docu-series produced by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM). The series, which premieres today, showcases clinicians, innovators, health systems, and organizations across the United States who are redefining what is possible in the treatment and prevention of type 2 diabetes (T2D) through evidence-based lifestyle intervention.
Type 2 diabetes represents one of the most pressing public health crises in America. Nearly half of all U.S. adults are living with diabetes or prediabetes — a burden that costs the healthcare system more than $450 billion annually and ranks as the eighth leading cause of death. Project Remission highlights how a growing body of evidence supports lifestyle medicine as a powerful, science-backed pathway to not only treat T2D but, in many cases, achieve remission — shifting the paradigm from disease management to genuine health restoration.
As a featured organization in the series, ModifyHealth demonstrates how integrating medically tailored meal delivery with registered dietitian support, lifestyle medicine providers, and remote patient monitoring can make lifestyle change accessible, sustainable, and effective for patients managing chronic conditions such as T2D. ModifyHealth’s diabetes-friendly meal plans — developed by award-winning chefs under the direction of its team of registered dietitians and aligned with American Diabetes Association guidelines — are designed to support blood glucose management, weight loss, and overall metabolic health.
"At ModifyHealth, we have always believed that food is one of the most powerful medicines available to us. Type 2 diabetes doesn’t have to be a life sentence, and our mission is to make that a reality for patients every day" said Ryan Moskowitz, Chief Brand Officer, ModifyHealth. "We are honored to be featured in Project Remission alongside ACLM and the pioneering clinicians and health systems who are proving that lifestyle medicine works. Together, we can move the needle from simply managing this disease to helping patients truly reclaim their health."
Project Remission features compelling short-form documentaries, expert interviews, and real-world patient success stories. Premiering with a live webinar featuring leading voices in lifestyle medicine, the series then launches digitally with content tailored to reach healthcare professionals, policymakers, employers, payors, universities, and the broader public. Among the clinicians featured are board-certified endocrinologists, lifestyle medicine physicians, and health system leaders from institutions including UConn Health and NYC Health + Hospitals.
The ACLM, the nation’s medical professional society advancing the field of lifestyle medicine, published the first-ever clinical practice guideline placing evidence-based lifestyle interventions at the forefront of T2D treatment. Research highlighted in the series demonstrates that sufficiently intensive lifestyle interventions can produce remission of T2D with outcomes comparable to bariatric surgery — and without the associated risks.
ModifyHealth’s participation in Project Remission underscores the company’s commitment to delivering comprehensive, clinically grounded food-as-medicine solutions to patients, providers, payors, and employers nationwide. ModifyHealth’s turnkey programs combine home-delivered medically tailored meals with personalized dietitian coaching — now covered in-network by major insurers including Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Medicare, and Medicaid — removing the most significant barriers patients face in accessing care.
