Why now | 2026–2027
Healthcare costs keep climbing.
Food needs to do more.
Employers are navigating higher health-plan costs, expensive prescriptions and growing demand for GLP-1 support. Individuals are navigating the same challenges at home. Generic advice alone does not tell someone what to eat tonight.
The GLP-1 challenge
Medication is only part of the journey.
People may need practical food guidance for smaller appetites, nutritional adequacy and sustainable routines, alongside their clinical care.
The everyday challenge
Advice has to reach the table.
Culture, time, budget, taste and cooking confidence shape what people eat between healthcare visits.
8.2%
Projected average rise in 2027 employer health-benefit costs per employee, after anticipated cost-management actions, following a 6.7% projected rise in 2026. GLP-1 utilization is one contributor. Source: Mercer, a Marsh business, August 31, 2026.
More than a meal
One person. One starting point.
A food plan that can evolve.
N-of-1 means understanding the individual instead of relying only on the average. The vision is to translate a person's health goals, relevant clinical information and food preferences into practical choices, then learn from the experience.

Explore mealsGLP-1 + metabolic health
GLP-1 can change appetite.
Nutrition still matters.
For people using GLP-1 medications, eating less does not automatically mean eating well. Food-based support can help make room for adequate nutrition, comfort and consistent habits alongside prescribed care.
- Meals designed with appropriate protein and nutrient needs in mind.
- Practical portions and meal patterns based on individual tolerance and clinical guidance.
- Support for everyday habits before, during and after medication use.
- Culturally familiar food choices people want to continue eating.
Services depend on availability and individual needs. Cocina Rx does not prescribe medication or replace medical care; any clinical nutrition guidance should be coordinated with qualified professionals.
For employers | Health plans | Benefits leaders
A smarter nutrition benefit starts at the table.
When healthcare costs rise, adding another disconnected benefit is not enough. Cocina Rx is developing a food-centered model for self-funded employers and health-plan partners: support members with relevant nutrition needs, make participation practical and define how value will be assessed.

Reach people with real needs.
Explore focused nutrition pathways for GLP-1 users and employees managing obesity, diabetes or cardiovascular risk.
02 / Everyday use
Bring support into daily life.
Pair prepared meals with a planned pathway for individualized guidance and chef coaching, grounded in culture and preference.
03 / Accountability
Define what matters.
Set clear measures for enrollment, engagement, meal use, experience and relevant health indicators where appropriate and authorized.
04 / Financial discipline
Evaluate the full picture.
Assess program costs and outcomes against benefit priorities, using available aggregate data and appropriate privacy protections. Savings are not assumed.
