PLANTSTRONG Foods is a mission-driven nutrition company advancing lifestyle medicine through whole food, plant-based nutrition. Founded by former professional triathlete and New York Times bestselling author Rip Esselstyn, PLANTSTRONG helps individuals prevent, arrest, and reverse chronic disease by making evidence-based nutrition practical and accessible. Grounded in the pioneering research of Caldwell B. Esselstyn Jr. and other leaders in lifestyle medicine, PLANTSTRONG develops tools that help patients translate nutrition science into everyday habits. The company produces a line of shelf-stable foods made entirely from whole plants and formulated without added oils or highly refined ingredients. Products—including cereals, granolas, broths, chilis, and pancake mixes—make it easier for patients to prepare fiber-rich, nutrient-dense meals that support cardiometabolic health. PLANTSTRONG also partners with healthcare providers, employers, and health systems through behavior-change programs that combine nutrition education, coaching, and practical food support. In addition, PLANTSTRONG provides evidence-based education for clinicians through immersive retreats, conferences, and training events featuring leading physicians and experts in lifestyle medicine. By bridging clinical science, provider education, and real-world food solutions, PLANTSTRONG helps healthcare professionals equip patients with practical tools for sustainable lifestyle change.
