garten (formerly Oh My Green) creates workplace wellbeing for all employees. My grandma who is a medical doctor in Berlin, Germany treats food and lifestyle habits as medicine and inspired me with her wisdom and her organic garden to change the global workplace. The workplace is the 5th leading cause of death in the United States and fosters burnout and unhealthy lifestyle habits, which I have personally experienced. Nutrition is the foundation of a healthy workplace as 80% of chronic diseases can be address through diet alone according to the WHO.
