Building stronger people, systems, and outcomes in the GLP-1 era.

The next era of health benefits won’t be bought. It will be built.

I help organizations shift from paying for sickness to designing for strength.


Organizations are investing billions in GLP-1 coverage. But access without strategy leads to cost without outcomes.
The answer isn’t restricting access. It’s building the strategy that makes these medications work – and understanding why they fail.

The Strategic Shift Organizations Need

The solution isn’t more coverage or tighter restrictions. It’s rethinking health from three angles:

→ Challenge the myths keeping employees and organizations stuck
→ Understand the biology driving metabolic dysfunction and excess weight
→ Redesign the systems that determine long-term outcomes

This is the framework I bring to organizations ready to move beyond reactive tactics to strategic transformation.
