What if health plans could cover in-home chef services to improve patient outcomes? In this episode, James Maskell sits down with Renata Jenik, founder of Foodom.com, to explore how her company is pioneering a powerful new model of food as medicine—one that's already being covered by insurance. Renata shares her personal journey from overwhelmed working mom struggling with PCOS and insulin resistance to entrepreneur with a mission to redefine healthcare through culinary empowerment. What started as a personal solution—hiring a chef to prepare healthy meals for her family—evolved into a scalable program now contracted by health plans like Anthem to serve Medicaid patients in Sacramento County. Unlike traditional meal delivery, Foodom sends trained chefs into patients' homes every two weeks to cook nourishing meals and teach basic culinary skills. It's a powerful model rooted in sustainability and empowerment. Tune in to learn about: How a personal health crisis sparked a revolutionary business idea Why health plans like Anthem are paying for in-home chef services The key differences between meal delivery and chef-led culinary education The challenges and solutions of scaling food-as-medicine at the community level Why El Dorado County is emerging as a hub for healthspan innovation And so much more! If you're interested in the intersection of culinary care, health equity, and scalable functional medicine delivery, this is a must-listen.

A few other California cities are duplicating San Francisco's tactic to merely hand the homeless a one-way bus ticket out of town, not because it's proven to be a particularly effective strategy, but more because it's just cheap and easy. The San Francisco strategy to put a dent in the homeless population by just handing unsheltered people a one-way bus ticket out of town has been around for about 20 years (one shelter resident described it to the Examiner in 2016, as the “Get your ass out of here” program). But the SF Board of Supervisors expanded the program earlier this year, and then Mayor London Breed made it a centerpiece of her major encampment crackdown this summer. Breed's policy shift this past summer, rather controversially, was to offer the bus ticket out of town before offering the person a shelter bed. Breed's encampment crackdown may not have saved her politically, but the idea of just handing the homeless a one-way ticket out of town seems to be catching on among other California big-city mayors. CalMatters reports that multiple other California cities are trying new programs to bus unsheltered people out of town. “Reconnecting people living on the streets with family members or loved ones who want to care for them is just common sense,” San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan told CalMatters. “It's the least expensive, most impactful program we could launch.” We mention San Jose, as CalMatters notes that city has budgeted $200,000 to start their own busing program this coming February. And yes, $200,000 is darned cheap for a government program. CalMatters adds that Sacramento County had a similar program, but discontinued it because it was so little-used. The City of Los Angeles does not have a formal busing program, but some nonprofits in that city run their own, shipping a few hundred people out of town per year.

Tens of thousands of University of California workers have authorized their unions to call a strike in coming weeks. They say many departments are understaffed and accuse UC administrators of bargaining in bad faith. Although California's more than 180,000 unhoused residents could be impacted by the results of next week's election, many may not vote due to various challenges. Data from Sacramento County shows less than 10 percent of unhoused voters there are registered.

In the early hours of October 27, 2006, Deputy Jeff Mitchell, a 38-year-old beloved father and husband, was patrolling a remote area in Sacramento County when he noticed a suspicious white Chevy van. At 3:27 a.m., he reported pulling the van over, but minutes later, dispatch lost contact with him. When fellow deputies arrived at the scene, they found Jeff lying near his patrol car, shot with his own weapon after a violent struggle. The van was gone. Twelve hours later, a white van was found submerged in a nearby river with two bodies inside. However, it was eventually determined that neither person was involved in Jeff's murder, deepening the mystery. It's been almost 18 years since Deputy Mitchell was killed in the line of duty, and investigators are still searching for the people responsible...
