Thanksgiving is around the corner and our portco Epicured is prepared. Not only leading in healthy food delivery but also a healthcare company committed to creating premium nutritional solutions, designed by clinicians and curated by chefs, to combat chronic disease. Take a look at their key tips for navigating the holidays: ?

Embrace New Recipes: Explore health and wellness-driven cookbooks and online resources for #medicallytailored recipe ideas. ? Communicate Clearly: If attending a holiday gathering, don't hesitate to communicate any dietary needs with the host. ?
