Plant Based Support Studies & Resources

Proving Prevention Works: Measuring What Matters in the Fight Against Chronic Disease

At Plant Based Support, we believe that people facing life-altering illness or not feeling that they are at their full health potential deserve the best, not just treatment, but truth. That’s why our platform is grounded in support, transparent data, and connection that demonstrate the power of food as medicine.

1) Start with Baselines

Before launching a new program or outreach initiative, we conduct community assessments to identify current health trends, access barriers, and food environments.

2) Track the Change

We monitor changes in key health indicators like BMI, medication usage, A1C, blood pressure, and diet quality—while also measuring participant engagement, retention, and satisfaction.

3) Ensure Real Impact

Our goal isn’t just education—it’s transformation. We ensure our work leads to lasting changes in behavior, health outcomes, and food access equity.

4) Share the Learnings

We publish our results and toolkits for other nonprofits, health departments, and community groups to replicate what works—and avoid what doesn’t.
