Digestive health is finally getting the attention it deserves—and last week at the IBI Conference, we were proud to help lead that conversation.
We joined David Hines from Metro Nashville Public Schools to share what happened when employees got real support for GI issues:

👉 $2,026 saved per member in medical and Rx claims
👉 17% fewer sick days for older employees
👉 78 NPS from a workforce that finally felt heard
From booth conversations (🐶 included) to post-event dinners, one thing was clear: gut health isn’t a niche benefit—it’s a powerful lever for cost, performance, and equity.
If you missed us at IBI, let’s connect. It’s time to stop overlooking digestive care—and start getting results.
