Ever think of branching into addiction? That's another place where evidence based care is sorely lacking.

It's a possibility. There's already another YC co doing great things in the addiction space: https://www.quitgenius.com/

We'll have to see. We have a long way to go in the coming years reaching the 35 million men in the US who are fighting obesity.

Isn't obesity a result of food addiction?

It's one important cause - although "food addiction" is interestingly quite controversial in the research space, and the literature is fast growing here.

It's certainly something we tackle head on in our program.

But food addiction is not representative of everyone's struggles.
