Ochsner Health is the leading nonprofit healthcare provider in the Gulf South. Ochsner inspires healthier lives and stronger communities through our mission to serve, heal, lead, educate and innovate.
Eat Fit is here to help you live your strongest, healthiest life. Our team of dietitians works closely with local restaurants, markets and other foodservice establishments to identify and develop dishes that meet the Eat Fit nutritional criteria. These items are identified directly on restaurant menus with the Eat Fit seal of approval, making the healthy choice the easy choice when dining out.
This initiative highlights nutritious choices whether you are looking to lose weight, meet fitness goals, or manage health issues including inflammatory conditions, anxiety, diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure and more. Look for the Eat Fit seal on menus at your favorite restaurants.
We collaborate with more than 600 partners across Louisiana, spanning Eat Fit NOLA, Eat Fit Baton Rouge, Eat Fit Acadiana, Eat Fit Northshore, and Eat Fit 318 (Shreveport & Monroe).
