Healthy Workplace: Michael Heinrich of Garten

According to a Stanford study, stressors related to our jobs make the workplace the 5th leading cause of death in the United States. 80% of chronic diseases can be addressed through diet alone.

In this episode, we speak with Michael Heinrich, the founder and CEO of Garten. Garten, previously known as “Oh My Green,” is a platform bringing nutritious food, healthy snacks, drinks, and wellness practices to the workplace. Michael is also a Venture Partner at Pioneer Fund, and an instructor at Stanford University.

"How can the workplace - a place we're supposed to find meaning, a place we're supposed to do our best - lead to death? To me that's totally backwards," says Michael. "My desire is to make preventative health the standard modality of healthcare. When employers invest in the well-being and health of employees, financial results are a natural course of action."
