Coalition for Metabolic Health

What Coalition for Metabolic Health does

The Coalition for Metabolic Health (CMH) is a U.S. nonprofit advocacy and convening organization founded in September 2025 with a $50 million seed commitment from the Baszucki family. Its mission is to make metabolic health mainstream by advancing and amplifying high-quality nutrition science to drive policy, clinical care, and public awareness. The organization positions itself around the thesis that chronic disease — accounting for 90% of the $4.9 trillion in annual U.S. healthcare spending — is largely preventable through dietary and lifestyle interventions that improve metabolic function, with particular emphasis on therapeutic carbohydrate reduction and ketogenic approaches.

CMH's core offerings are non-commercial and consist of policy advocacy programs, educational resources, and a national convening network. Products include the Metabolic Monitor newsletter, evidence-based policy briefs (covering topics such as SNAP alignment, low-carbohydrate diets in Dietary Guidelines, and GLP-1 medications), congressional briefings, explainer videos and infographics, and a 14-member Scientific and Clinical Advisory Committee. Distribution is entirely free and digital, with no products or services sold to end users.

The business model is philanthropic rather than commercial: the organization is funded through the founding $50 million commitment and does not generate revenue from sales, licensing, or services. Its go-to-market is community-led, relying on a national network of nearly 1,500 supporters, federal agency engagement (USDA Dietary Guidelines Strategic Partnership, NIH institute-level research guidance), and bipartisan congressional relationships to translate metabolic health science into policy and clinical practice change.

Partnerships

Five partnerships are on record, tiered core and major.

• National Institutes of Health (NIH)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 26 May 2026CMH submitted formal comments to NIH on research priorities for its FY27-31 strategic plan, recommending metabolic health as a top NIH research priority. The NIH Office of Nutrition Research is positioned as a coordinating hub for cross-Institute nutrition and metabolic health research.
• NIH Institutes (NIDDK, NIA, NIMH, NICHD)coreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 6 March 2026Congress directed multiple NIH institutes to support large-scale clinical trials exploring metabolic interventions for diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, polycystic ovary syndrome, bipolar disorder, major depressive disorder, and schizophrenia. CMH applauds this guidance.
• Baszucki Group and Metabolic MindcoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 4 September 2025Founding organizations affiliated with the Baszucki family that advance metabolic health research and education. Jan Ellison Baszucki leads these organizations and serves as CMH board chair.
• Rep. Lloyd Smucker (PA-11) and Rep. Sharice Davids (KS-03)majorGTM or Marketing Partner · 24 June 2025Bipartisan co-sponsorship of CMH's first Capitol Hill briefing on nutrition and chronic disease. Rep. Davids discussed the Accountable Produce Is Medicine Act legislation she co-sponsored with Rep. Smucker.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• American Heart Association: The AHA is a broad incumbent in cardiovascular and metabolic disease advocacy, with major policy influence, research grants, and lifestyle/nutrition guideline-setting authority. CMH positions within an adjacent but adversarial space on therapeutic carbohydrate reduction versus mainstream AHA dietary guidance.
• Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics: AND is the largest nutrition professional association in the U.S., setting clinical nutrition practice standards and influencing federal dietary guidance. CMH engages directly against aspects of AND's positions on low-carb and ketogenic therapies, making it a structural counterpart in nutrition policy debate.
• Milken Institute Health: The Milken Institute operates a major health policy program producing research, convening global policy leaders, and funding chronic disease initiatives. It is comparable to CMH in convening science, policy, and capital around metabolic and chronic disease priorities at a much larger scale.

Direct peers

• Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine: PCRM is a nonprofit physician-led advocacy organization promoting preventive medicine, plant-based nutrition, and chronic disease prevention through federal policy and clinical guidelines. It is directly comparable to CMH in combining clinician advocacy, federal policy engagement, and nutrition-focused chronic disease reform campaigns.
• Oldways: Oldways is a nonprofit promoting traditional and evidence-based dietary patterns and education. It is comparable to CMH as a smaller-scale nutrition advocacy organization producing consumer and clinician-facing resources and engaging on dietary guideline reform.
• Nutrition Coalition: Nutrition Coalition is a nonprofit advocacy organization focused on advancing rigorous, evidence-based nutrition science in U.S. dietary policy, particularly low-carbohydrate and saturated-fat reform. It is the most directly comparable peer to CMH in mission, methodology, and policy advocacy posture around U.S. Dietary Guidelines.
• Center for Science in the Public Interest: CSPI is an established consumer-advocacy nonprofit focused on nutrition, food safety, and health policy. It is comparable to CMH in targeting federal and state policymakers, litigating/contesting food industry practices, and publishing policy briefs on dietary guidelines and food labeling.
• Society of Metabolic Health Practitioners: SMHP (formerly the Low Carb Carbs Physicians group) is a professional society of clinicians using therapeutic carbohydrate reduction and ketogenic approaches for chronic disease. CMH collaborates with and draws clinical credibility from this practitioner network, representing the clinical-practice peer counterpart to CMH's policy-and-advocacy focus.
• Metabolic Mind: Metabolic Mind is a Baszucki-affiliated nonprofit advancing ketogenic and metabolic therapies for mental illness, sharing founders, board leadership, and a metabolic-therapy orientation with CMH. The two organizations are operating arms of the same Baszucki family strategy targeting metabolic health, making this the closest institutional peer.

Emerging players

• Food Tank: Food Tank is a nonprofit think tank focused on sustainable food and agriculture policy. It is comparable to CMH as a comparable-sized emerging player using policy advocacy, research dissemination, and convening to influence U.S. and global food/health policy.
