Overview
Our Project Inspiration
Health Harmon's story began with a personal health scare within my family. Watching my father combat an ulcer and its side effects from prolonged PPI use, including a severe Vitamin B deficiency, sparked a realization that there is a huge oversight in the way health is approached. The real improvement happened when we combined Western medicine with holistic practices, speeding up his recovery. There has to be a better way to approach health—a way that marries the precision of Western medicine with the natural wisdom of nutrition and supplements. That's how idea behind this Health Harmon was born.
01
Increase in Prescription Usage
Use this space to promote the business, its products or its services. Help people become familiar with the business and its offerings, creating a sense of connection and trust. Focus on what makes the business unique and how users can benefit from choosing it.
02
The Nutrition Gap in Medical Education
Despite the crucial link between nutrition and health, U.S. medical schools dedicate minimal time to nutrition education. On average, future doctors receive less than 20 hours of nutrition training across four years of study. This gap has far-reaching consequences, impacting how patients are educated and treated for chronic conditions.
03
The Rise of Prescription Dependency
Over the past two decades, prescription rates in the U.S. have surged by 85%, with many individuals now relying on multiple medications daily. This trend often overlooks foundational nutritional health, which could potentially reduce dependency on pharmaceuticals.
