Mechanism Wellness Launches One of the First of its Kind Corporate Wellness Program Rooted in Functional Medicine

Nearly half of the American population suffers from at least one chronic illness, accounting for 85% of the US healthcare costs. Processed foods, stress, toxic environments, and pharmaceutical side effects are driving illness. Another rising concern with global Coronavirus pandemic is that pandemics are likely to exert periodic and significant disruptive pressure on health systems and people with comorbidities tend to be more severely impacted by these events. This has fast-tracked the number people moving towards more natural and organic choices to lead healthier lives.

We are currently trapped in the symptom management approach of traditional medicine. People have started taking a DIY approach to health management, for example, 80% of over 75% adults taking supplements are doing so without any advice from their healthcare provider and have limited understanding of the three pillars of diet, supplements, and lifestyle choices. 

Mechanism Wellness is addressing this problem with one of the first-of-its-kind, personalized wellness program based on Functional medicine; a systems biology approach that focuses on identifying and addressing the root imbalance of your core physiology. The proprietary online assessment is designed by doctors, nutritionists, and functional medicine practitioners identifies the root imbalance. The system then provides individuals with a personalized wellness plan that includes food plans, recommended supplements, lifestyle guidance and access to functional medicine-trained wellness coaches.

All this for less than Starbucks Coffee a day.

The program is quickly gaining traction among individuals as well as corporations. Within the first six months of launching, Mechanism Wellness signed up over six companies including, PepsiCo, Censia, MetricStream, Indecomm, and Factor Law who will be offering its prod

Mechanism Wellness raised an initial pre-seed round in 2020 and launched its MVP in May 2021. They are now seeking to raise their seed round and have launched a crowdfunding campaign with StatEngine to raise money and build brand awareness.
