A New Chapter
Food-is-Medicine, For Every Woman.
Epicured welcomes Chiyo — bringing women's stage-specific nutrition into mainstream healthcare at scale.
Nutrition drives health outcomes — especially during the most critical stages of a woman's life. With Chiyo now part of Epicured, we have the infrastructure, payer relationships, and reach to make food-is-medicine a standard, not a luxury.
Why We Joined Forces
One mission, together. Welcome to a new era of care.
We ask women to grow life, recover from birth, regulate hormones, sustain families and careers — and then tell them to just eat well. Other cultures have long-standing nutritional regimens for these life transitions. It's time we did too.
If we want to improve generational health, we must nourish women first. With Epicured's platform behind us, we can expand access, pursue reimbursement pathways, and embed women's nutrition into the healthcare system at scale.
