We’re thrilled to announce the launch of Nudj Health–Food as Medicine, powered by Umoja Health—a transformative partnership designed to help patients live healthier, longer lives. By integrating food as medicine into our whole-person care model, we aim to directly address diet-related chronic diseases—one of the most preventable yet pervasive drivers of poor health and rising healthcare costs.

This integrated model combining behavioral health, lifestyle medicine, and access to nutritious food will help patients bring chronic conditions like diabetes into remission.

By partnering with Umoja Health, we’re delivering both the care and the access people need to truly heal," says Yuri Sudhakar. 👉 Read the full press release to learn more about how Nudj and Umoja are transforming care through the power of nutrition and lifestyle medicine: https://lnkd.in/eiea7RbM Nudj Health is proud to be a Lifestyle Medicine Treament Program certified by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine.

Opportunity for Wine & Beer Importers Using the Southeast One of the more complex categories in e-commerce and DTC fulfillment is alcohol. Licensing, compliance, age verification, carrier constraints, and state-by-state regulations make it very different from traditional fulfillment. If you are seeking a partner to support wine and beer e-commerce fulfillment, creating a strong Southeast node for brands and importers selling direct-to-consumer send me a note and i can make the connection. The site is also in the process of becoming FTZ (Foreign Trade Zone) certified, which will provide additional advantages for companies importing beverage products into the U.S., including duty management and greater supply chain flexibility. With Savannah and Charleston serving as major gateways for beverage imports, having a fulfillment operation in Atlanta can provide both efficient port access and strong reach across the Southeast consumer market. Now is a great time to get infrastructure in place ahead of the holiday season, when beverage gifting and DTC demand tends to spike. Always interesting to see how specialized fulfillment capabilities continue to evolve alongside the growth of regulated DTC categories.

#ShippaboLeadership 🚢 Why are importers paying more… while service gets worse? According to James Ford-Hutchinson, VP of Operations at Shippabo, it all comes down to one force: supply and demand. When demand spikes → prices rise + service drops When demand falls → carriers cut capacity to push rates back up Do you see this pattern in your operations? 👇 Share your experience, let’s talk about it. https://hubs.li/Q03X_sCG0 📩 Contact us at info@shippabo.com or DM #Demand #freightcosts #oceanfreight #freightforwarding #tracking #freightforwarder #internationalfreight #predictivelogistics #supplychain #logistics #customs
