Hi everyone I'm sharing our most recent episode of BioEats World here today as a bit of a holiday

snack since it covers the topic of food as medicine.

Be sure to check out other episodes and subscribe to BioEats World wherever you get your

podcasts.

Hi, I'm Lauren.

And I'm Hannah and this is BioEats World where we talk about all the ways our ability to engineer biology and

re-engineer health care is transforming the future. This episode is our

Thanksgiving special and this year Hannah and I are thankful to all of our

listeners and hope that you were able to celebrate and stay healthy in the midst of this global pandemic.

And since this is Thanksgiving, we are of course talking about food.

We all know that eating healthy is better for us and that

following that advice is harder than it sounds and yet the reality is that when it

comes to not just preventing sickness but helping sick people get better.

And potentially saving the health care system billions in treating chronic disease,

food is one of the most powerful medical treatments we have.

In this conversation, A16Z general partner Julie Yu talks with

Dr Andrea Feinberg previously the founder and medical director of Geisinger

Fresh Food Pharmacy and Josh Hicks entrepreneur and co-founder of the food delivery startup

plated, all about what food as a medicine might look like. Whether personal

taste and variety matters, how technology might not just help access, but shift our snacking

tendencies towards health, and the enormous opportunity to impact chronic disease through

addressing food insecurity. Happy Thanksgiving everyone.
