 Brian sits down with Erin Martin, CEO/founder of Fresh RX Oklahoma and co-lead of the Oklahoma Food Is Medicine Policy Coalition. They discuss her background in gerontology, early work in long-term care, and observations that U.S. older adults average 15+ prescriptions, contrasting with healthier aging and cultural differences she saw in Italy.
Â
Erin describes launching Fresh RX during the pandemic with $185,000 to prescribe locally sourced, low-pesticide food plus lifestyle education for type 2 diabetes patients in North Tulsa, now serving 500+ patients via 22 clinics, measuring biometrics and cost savings with a reported 4–5x ROI. They discuss scaling Food Is Medicine through insurance, bridging it with regenerative sourcing, planned nutrient-density testing, and Erin's shift from veganism to eating beef, bone broth, and marrow.
