Why We're INCREDIBLY Proud Today Nosis Health is revolutionizing substance use recovery by treating the whole person, not just the addiction. Founded by Duffy Fallon and Dr. Amy de la Garza, they've built a comprehensive care model that integrates medicine, nutrition, movement, sleep, and real human connection to help people not just stay sober, but actually feel well and live fully. The conventional treatment model is long overdue for disruption - and that's exactly what this incredible team is doing! The Nosis Health Impact Transforming recovery experiences with a holistic, whole-person approach Integrating multiple dimensions of wellness beyond traditional treatment methods Building real human connection as a cornerstone of sustainable recovery Already onboarding members with powerful initial feedback showing they're building something people truly want and need This is exactly the kind of impact we envision when we talk about making Minnesota the place where every tech innovator belongs - a vibrant community where diverse founders find the connections, support, and resources to build extraordinary things. Nosis is currently available in Utah with plans to expand to additional states soon. Their talented team includes founding therapists and health coaches Stephanie, Nell, Linnea, and Daniel, working alongside co-founders Duffy and Dr. Amy.
