Insurance brokerage · Through the March 2026 outcomes report06 · The challenge
Hypertension and gut health,
at the top of the spend.
Where the pressure comes from
01
The firm's own claims analysis across 2024 and 2025 identified hypertension and digestive disorders as the top spend areas among covered members.
02
Moderate to severe IBS symptoms were present in 47% of the relevant population before the program matured.
03
Utilization at 15% leaves significant headroom, with 82% of enrollees women and only 8% dependents.
04
Higher cost segments, particularly men and dependents, remain largely untapped and are the focus of 2026 outreach.
Insurance brokerage · Through the March 2026 outcomes report07 · Risk concentration

concentrates.

Insurance brokerage · Through the March 2026 outcomes report08 · Why Digbi
Genetics first,
medication agnostic.
Members cite the genetic and precision nutrition model as the reason they enrolled. The program works with or without GLP-1 medication.
The differentiators the client cites
01
A genetic and precision nutrition model, which the firm's own members cite as the reason they enrolled rather than a generic wellness benefit.
02
A flexible position on GLP-1 medication, supporting members whether or not a plan covers the drugs.
03
A women's health track that matters given an enrolled population that is 82% women, combining glucose data, genetics and cycle aware nutrition.
Precision nutrition
Genetic and gut data shape the plan, which is what members say drew them in.
Medication agnostic
Support runs whether or not the plan covers GLP-1 medication.
Women's health track
Relevant to an enrolled population that is 82% women.

Recorded video testimonial with transcript on file, mid 2025.
Recorded testimonial
“The genetic based nutrition component is what appealed to me when the company rolled it out at annual enrollment.”
I had gained weight through the pandemic. After three years it was about 50 pounds. I lost 88 pounds, so I am now well below my pre pandemic weight.
My work life has improved because I have more energy. I look better, feel better, move better, sleep better.
