SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- iHealth Labs today announced that its Unified Care program has received a contributed recipe to add to its Healthy Recipe collection from Chef Ingi "Shota" Son, owner of Michelin-starred restaurant The Shota. This collaboration marks the first time Unified Care has teamed up with a local restaurant and this special Chawanmushi recipe from The Shota showcases a refined yet accessible approach to healthy eating.

Launched in 2018, iHealth Unified Care leverages an innovative O+O (onsite + online) care model to bridge the gap between physician office visits and home monitoring. Unified Care's team of registered dietitians, diabetes educators, health coaches, and clinical assistants work with a physician's team to provide ongoing support for patients with diabetes and hypertension. The company's unique approach combines smart devices for remote vitals monitoring with nutrition counseling, lifestyle coaching, and seamless care coordination to achieve impressive clinical outcomes. The Unified Care team also publishes a variety of healthy recipes for patients with diabetes or hypertension via its blog. 

"Our team loves to develop recipes that are delicious and nutritious, but this is the first time we've partnered with a local restaurant to create something truly special," said Leah Wang, a Registered Dietitian and Director of Research at iHealth. "Healthy eating is a key component of managing diabetes and hypertension and simple changes like reducing carbohydrates and increasing protein intake can make a big impact. This recipe from The Shota is not only gourmet but is also designed to support these health goals, making it easy for our patients to incorporate healthier habits into their everyday lives."

"Making healthy choices is crucial to our long-term well-being, but that doesn't mean you have to compromise on flavor or complexity. Delicious, gourmet food should be accessible and easy for everyone to make at home," said Chef Ingi. "We are proud to partner with iHealth's Unified Care program to create this recipe, bringing together the best of health and culinary innovation to inspire people to eat better."

The Shota, a Michelin-starred restaurant located in San Francisco's Financial District, is renowned for blending imported Japanese ingredients with fresh local produce to create its Edomae-style sushi. Chef Ingi is also preparing to open a new restaurant called Shoji, also in San Francisco, in the near future.
