Lentils, split peas, grains, and pasta stored in clear containers on a pantry shelf

For Community & Independent Pharmacies

What to hand patients after "eat better."

Pharmacists counsel people with prediabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol every day. Most of those conversations end with good advice and nothing to take home. WPU gives your pharmacy a practical next step: a first plant-forward week patients can start tonight, and a group program you can host or refer to.

The gap at the counter

More than 2 in 5 American adults have prediabetes, and 8 in 10 of them don't know it. Many of them are already your patients.

Advice like "cut back on carbs" or "eat more vegetables" rarely survives the drive home. People need a plan for the next grocery trip and a few meals that actually taste good.

What your pharmacy gets

  • A take-home "first plant-forward week" guide: seven days of simple meals and one shopping list.
  • Counter cards and a short script for starting the conversation without lecturing.
  • A 9-week group program you can host in a consultation room or community space, or refer patients to.
  • Pharmacy co-branding on handouts.

WPU is in pre-launch. Materials are in draft, and founding partners help shape them before they open to everyone.

How pharmacies use it

  1. 01

    At the counter

    When a patient picks up a statin, metformin, or a blood pressure medication, hand them the first-week guide.

  2. 02

    At screenings

    Pair blood pressure or A1C screening events with a short tasting and a sign-up for the next cohort.

  3. 03

    In a group

    Host the 9-week program in-store or at a partner church or community center, led by staff or a volunteer coordinator.

  4. 04

    Alongside other programs

    Use WPU as a cooking-and-pantry companion to lifestyle programs you already offer.

The nine weekly steps: Taste the Power · The Why · The Pantry Reset · Build the Plate · Master the Greens · Beans, Grains & the Power Foods · Less Meat, More Life · Move, Rest, Renew · The Ripple. See the full program.

The evidence

What the research says

To be clear

WPU is not a CDC-recognized National Diabetes Prevention Program and is not reimbursable as one. The National DPP is a yearlong program with CDC recognition requirements. WPU can sit alongside it as a cooking and meal-planning companion, but it doesn't replace it.

Questions

Is WPU a diabetes prevention program?

WPU is a general plant-forward wellness program, not a CDC-recognized diabetes prevention program. It teaches the kind of eating pattern that supports healthy blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol, and it pairs well with clinical care and with National DPP programs.

Who leads the group sessions?

A pharmacist, technician, or trained volunteer coordinator. The leader guide covers each session, so leaders don't need a nutrition background.

Will patients be told to stop their medication?

Never. Every WPU material tells participants to talk with their doctor or pharmacist before changing any medication, and to expect their care team to adjust doses if their numbers improve.
