Congratulations to Samantha Alexander, CEO & Co-Founder, of bitewell for being named the American Diabetes Association’s State of Diabetes Chair for the Denver event on November 14th. The ADA Rocky Mountain Team is thrilled to partner with Sam and bitewell to host a pivotal gathering uniting influential figures across various sectors to engage in a panel discussion about “Supporting a Healthier Workforce: Diabetes, Prevention, Resources, and Management Strategies for Employers”. Samantha Citro Alexander is the Co-Founder & CEO of bitewell – the nutrition intelligence company on a mission to improve the world's health through food. As the CEO of bitewell, Sam is changing the way we think about food. Sam co-founded bitewell in 2020, an early mover in the food-as-medicine space, and betting on a future that prioritized food as a crucial element of health. A female leader in a male-dominated space, Sam has raised over $10M in venture capital to build the future she sees for the world. Prior to co-founding bitewell, Sam's career spanned marketing, strategy & operations. Her notable roles include Director of Global Brand Strategy & Chief of Staff to Jane Lauder at Clinique (NYC), Director of NA Marketing at Smashbox (LA), and an MA at Bridgewater Associates (CT). Sam earned a BFA in Drama from NYU. She attributes a large part of her success to her leadership style – which merges active empathy (honed during her acting studies) with radical transparency (adopted from her time at Bridgewater). Her passion for food’s impact on health is decades-long and began early in her childhood when she developed food allergies and gut health issues that restricted the food she and her family could enjoy. With the same care her grandmother applied to help her family navigate the complicated labyrinth of dietary ailments, Sam is determined to help the world navigate improved health through food. DM me if you or your company is interested in engaging with the SOD event!

When 75% of our healthcare spending is due to preventable diseases that can be managed with food, somewhere along the way… we lost our way. Dining room tables have been ditched for drive-thrus, and the term “whole foods” has become more synonymous with a grocery store chain than actual nutritious food. Meanwhile, workers are on sick leave due to diet-related illnesses… racking up a whopping $153 billion in lost productivity. Where did we go wrong, and how can employers help get their employees’ health and their insurance premiums back on track? Spoiler alert. bitewell has an answer for that. Big thanks to Employee Benefit News and Deanna Cuadra for their feature on bitewell's mission to give employees access to nutritional food as a healthcare benefit. Check out their article below to find out why we believe food as medicine… is the future of health.

The most controversial food topic of our generation: MILK. The bitewell #foodhealthscore gives us an objective answer. (And don’t @ me for Oatly’s score.)

Do you want to sell more food? Make sure people know it's healthy. In a simple test conducted by the International Food Information Council, 55% of people chose a snack labeled “healthy” over an identical snack without that label. And people are willing to pay for it. 40% of those people would pay 30% more for the "healthy" swap. 15% of those people would pay as high as 50% more. The pre-requisite for paying higher prices? A clear labeling system that helps people understand if a food is healthy, or not. Sounds like the bitewell #FoodHealthScore to me.... (source: IFIC 2023 Food Health Report)
Excited to partner with Cherry Creek School District, in collaboration with Jesse Soffer / Aon, to provide employees with bitewell’s food and nutrition benefit!
