A corporate nutrition benefit that measures outcomes, not engagement.

Most wellness programs report on app usage. Growstead reports on employee health, documented to the standard a CFO will accept.

Growstead isn't for every employer. We partner with wellness leaders who are done paying for engagement dashboards, and who are ready to measure what their wellness spend actually changes. Our 2026 partnership window is open, and we move deliberately.
The arena

U.S. employers spend $650 per employee on wellness apps. They spend $7,400 per employee on the health cost consequences those apps do not solve.

Wellness app spend
$650
Per employee, per year. The engagement budget. Measured in logins, steps, and streaks.
Health cost consequence
$7,400
Per employee, per year. The outcome budget. Measured in claims, conditions, and absenteeism.

Growstead targets the $7,400 line. That's the arena.

Three principles behind the benefit.

Security, adaptive intelligence, and defensible measurement. The outcomes are transparent.

Secure
Employee data stays with the employer.
Enterprise-grade security. Healthcare-grade standards as the design benchmark. Data is never pooled across employers. Ever.
Intelligent
A system that learns with every cycle.
Each measurement cycle makes the next one sharper. The methodology gets better. The individual employee record remains private.
Measured
Outcomes your CFO will accept.
Pre-agreed metrics. Pre-agreed timelines. Documented outcomes ready for procurement review and board reporting.
A companion benefit

A layer that extends your care team, not a replacement for it.

Many of our employer partners already have on-site physicians or in-house dietitians. Growstead is built to work alongside them.

We provide the nutrition layer your internal team can't build from inside: clinical-grade guidance, population-level visibility, and an outcome measurement model that makes their work scale. Your clinicians stay at the center of care.

We give them the infrastructure to reach further.

Why comprehensive matters
Doing wellness halfway does not produce half the ROI. It produces almost none.

That's why Growstead runs as a complete benefit from day one. Personalized nutrition guidance, clinical-grade measurement, and outcome reporting ship together, built into every partnership. Half-built programs produce rounding errors. Complete ones produce line-item returns.
