Transforming Health and Wellness with My25; A New Year with New Solutions

After the holidays and with a new year in motion, thoughts tend to move towards healthier eating. Finding ways to think outside the box for healthy food solutions can be challenging, especially for individuals with specialized needs. My25, a new initiative from Mainstay, Inc., is transforming the approach to health and wellness. Imagine being able to plan meals that are not only nutritious but also enjoyable. My25 offers the resources and guidance needed. It is transforming healthcare and human services with a focus on better health and lower costs. This is beneficial when time is short and budgeting is necessary.

My25 is a comprehensive program designed to improve health outcomes and reduce costs for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD), behavioral and mental health challenges, autism, Down syndrome, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), and the elderly. It uses a holistic, data-centric approach to map out nutritious and tasty meals. In short, My25 supports individuals and those that are supporting them.

Furthermore, it offers a wide range of products tailored to meet the needs of various populations, including those in waiver, ICF, supported living, smart home, and home-based settings. The “Food as Medicine” approach helps individuals and households plan, shop, prepare, and eat the right foods in the right amounts. This encourages long term healthy habit changes. The Healthy Eating Score (HES) is a measure that visually aids users during menu planning. It provides data for motivational and care coordination purposes. My25’s software and tools are designed to address diverse needs, budgets, and goals.

Developed for some of the most health-challenged populations, My25 goes beyond traditional diet plans to meet specialized needs. The “Food as Medicine” approach has led to improvements in choice, quality, operational efficiency, compliance, and financial outcomes, for some of the most health-compromised and nutritionally challenged populations residing in Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS) and Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) settings.

With every new subscription, My25 becomes more affordable for human services organizations supporting people with specialized needs. Certainly, this ensures that more individuals can benefit from this nutritionally focused program. For more information about My25, visit their website, https://www.my25.com.
