Created by experts.
Registered and licensed dietitians, Shannon and Allison, saw a gap in treating patients with chronic health conditions. Their patients needed affordable, easily accessible tools to manage chronic health conditions—like diabetes and heart disease. Their patients wanted meal plans, recipes their families actually wanted to eat, and to know the why behind recommended foods. Michelle brought her culinarian expertise to the team by adding simplicity and flavor to the recipes and helping people build their cooking skills. And sam™ was born - the app that is accessible anytime and provides recommended meal plans with simple recipes that keep you coming back for more.
