"Let food be thy medicine..."
Preach, Hippocrates! Studies prove that what we eat plays a major role in how we maintain our health and age.
Food is medicine is a movement to use nutrient-rich foods to maintain and heal our bodies. These foods can boost immunity, reduce inflammation, enhance our mental health, help manage chronic diseases and much more.
But nutritious food is not always available. Lack of access to fresh foods, especially within economic and systemic challenges, creates an environment where people often experience poor health outcomes.
Erin’s on a mission to change that!

About Erin
An Oklahoman on track to be a lawyer, Erin’s first job in a retirement community inspired her to pursue a degree in gerontology instead.
During her Masters program at USC, Erin ran a team of advocates serving over 700 low income older adults in the Southern California area. She was troubled by how little support people get as they age. So Erin founded Conscious Aging Solutions, a company dedicated to helping older adults navigate health and social systems so they can age successfully. As Erin’s work focused on strategies for longevity, she found that food—access to quality food—had an enormous impact on our life spans.
As her interest in food grew, she became certified in Regenerative Soil Advocacy. Erin moved back home to Tulsa during the pandemic to find that the supply chain disruptions had only intensified what was already a food system problem in the city. Lack of access to nutritious foods was contributing to poor health outcomes and high mortality rates for Tulsans, especially those with chronic conditions.
In 2021, Erin co-founded a prescription produce program called FreshRx Oklahoma. The program’s success has launched her onto the national stage.
Now Erin champions food as medicine to promote the longevity of underserved communities, decrease food insecurity, support the environment, revitalize the agricultural economy, and decrease system-wide health care costs.
