The Chef Who Built a Multi-Billion-Dollar Brand at Kraft Now Wants to Help GLP-1 Patients Keep the Weight Off

Published

on

Adam DeVito spent decades shaping how Americans eat, from French kitchens to one of the most successful new product launches in fifty years. His latest project, Monj Health, has just joined forces with Tampa-based Precision Telemed to deliver what GLP-1 medicine has been missing.

United States, 16th Jun 2026 – Most people who work in food never get within reach of one billion dollars, let alone seven. Adam DeVito has built his career at that scale, and he has spent the last decade trying to use what he learned to fix something that almost everyone in healthcare quietly admits is broken: how we eat. 

DeVito began in top French kitchens in the United States and France. He went on to own restaurants, open two schools for professional chefs, and co-author eleven internationally distributed books on healthy cooking. From there he was invited to Kraft Foods as the first Executive Chef and Head of New Concept Development at what was then the largest food company in the world. His team brought hundreds of new and reformulated products to market, including the creation of a multi-billion-dollar brand that became the most successful new product launch in fifty years. 

After Kraft, DeVito spent ten years as Managing Partner at Sterling-Rice Group in Boulder, leading health and wellness strategy for nearly every major organic and natural foods brand in the country. Along the way, working with renowned game expert Dr. Jane McGonigal on SuperBetter, he became convinced of something most of his industry had ignored: behavior change rooted in intrinsic inspiration, the desire to live well, lasts longer than behavior change rooted in pressure, fear, or shame. 

That conviction became Monj Health. 

This week, Monj Health and Precision Telemed announced a partnership that brings DeVito’s life work directly into GLP-1 care. The result is called the Advanced Metabolic Program, and it represents the first time DeVito’s nutrition and behavior platform has been embedded inside a compounded telehealth practice in the United States. 

Why GLP-1 Care Needed Him 

GLP-1 medications like compounded semaglutide and tirzepatide have rewritten what is possible in weight loss. They also leave a gap. Research published in The BMJ in January 2026 found that patients regain weight at roughly 0.4 kilograms per month after stopping the medication, returning to baseline within about two years. A separate review published in The Lancet found that approximately 50 to 60 percent of lost weight is regained within twelve months of cessation, with cardiometabolic improvements reversing alongside it. 

The clinical consensus on what to do about this is unusually clear. A joint advisory from the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, the American Society for Nutrition, the Obesity Medicine Association, and The Obesity Society, released in 2025, recommends that GLP-1 therapy be paired with structured nutritional and behavioral support, including muscle-preserving protein intake, culinary skill building, and lifestyle integration that patients can carry forward after the prescription ends. 

Almost no one is actually doing this. That is the gap Precision Telemed and Monj are now filling together. 

“The healthcare system has given people powerful tools and then left them completely without the knowledge to use them,” DeVito said. “Food is the missing piece. Monj is the bridge between what the medication can do and what your life can actually look like.” 

What the Program Looks Like for Patients 

Patients in the Advanced Metabolic Program continue to receive their compounded GLP-1 medication through Precision Telemed, prescribed and managed by licensed clinicians through the company’s telehealth platform. Monj Health adds a structured layer around that prescription, including live cooking classes built around practical, satiating meals, a four-phase metabolic plan that moves patients from Reset to Nourish to Maintain to Sustain, habit-building tools rooted in self-determination theory, and ongoing coaching that adapts as the patient’s needs change. 

The design choice is deliberate. Rather than treating food as a separate concern that patients are expected to figure out alone, the program integrates clinical care, nutrition education, and behavioral coaching into a single experience. The aim is straightforward: more durable results, better quality of life on the medication, and a real plan for what happens when the dose comes down. 

A New Standard 

For a company built on compounded GLP-1 care, partnering with a chef-led behavior platform is an unusual move. It is also, the leadership team believes, where the field is heading. 

“Our patients are not failing the medication. The medication is doing exactly what it is supposed to do,” the Precision Telemed spokesperson said. “What has been missing is the part of care that lives outside the pharmacy. That is what we have built with Monj, and we believe it is going to change what people can expect from a telehealth weight loss program.” 

Full enrollment details for the Advanced Metabolic Program are rolling out across Precision Telemed’s semaglutide and tirzepatide treatment pages in the coming weeks. 

About Adam DeVito 

Adam DeVito is the founder and CEO of Monj Health. He is the co-author of eleven internationally distributed books on healthy cooking, the founder of two schools for professional chefs, and the original founder of one of the most successful packaged food brands of the last half century. He served as the first Executive Chef and Head of New Concept Development at Kraft Foods and spent a decade as Managing Partner of Sterling-Rice Group, one of the country’s leading strategy and innovation firms in food, health, and wellness.

Published

on

Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, August 25th, 2026, FinanceWire

The integration will bring established, regulated market infrastructure to Sui that unlocks support for institutions and issuers, while also opening access for tZERO to the chain’s deep pool of builders and developers

tZERO Group, Inc., a leader in blockchain-based financial infrastructure, today announced a strategic partnership to integrate directly with the Sui blockchain, unlocking support for issuance, transfer agency, custody, trading, compliance and settlement for regulated digital assets security trading. The integration will expand Sui’s access to institutionally compliant U.S. market infrastructure aimed at building for tokenized markets, and will bring Sui’s deep pool of builders and developers into the tZERO ecosystem.

The announcement brings full integration into tZERO’s U.S.-regulated trading, custody, and issuance framework for the Sui blockchain, providing direct support for institutional-grade tokenization projects and initiatives for projects currently building on the network.

Mustafa Al Niama, Head of Capital Markets at Mysten Labs and former Americas Head of Digital Assets at Goldman Sachs, commented: Institutional adoption of tokenized assets depends on infrastructure that bridges blockchain innovation with regulatory frameworks. tZERO’s expansion to Sui gives issuers and developers access to regulated issuance, custody, and trading capabilities designed to support that transition, while also taking advantage of Sui’s unique architecture that is built to support institutional workflows.”

Through the integration, tZERO will gain access to a vast pool of developers, builders, and DeFi projects currently being built on Sui, leveraging the extensive knowledge these teams have in building for the network’s unique object-focused architecture. These builders have years of experience creating projects that take advantage of Sui’s highly performant network with near-instant finality, positioning them well to build on infrastructure designed to service institutional needs.

“Sui’s object-centric architecture offers a unique approach to regulated digital assets by making assets and their permissions programmable,” said Alan Konevsky, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of tZERO. “Combined with Sui’s performance, that design creates a strong foundation for the development of next generation regulated financial applications onchain.“

tZERO brings more than 12 years of operational experience in U.S. market compliance and infrastructure development, and is recognized by the SEC with multiple registrations. tZERO is also an active member of FINRA, and has years of experience bridging crypto-native projects into regulated U.S. market applications.

Lejan Brings Barefoot Footwear to Back-to-School Season with Its Children’s School Shoes

Published

on

The brand focuses on flexible, zero-drop school shoes with plenty of toe room, designed to withstand the daily pace of young children.

Madrid, Spain, 25th Aug 2026 – Back-to-school season means new routines, new schedules, and many hours spent wearing shoes. That is why Lejan is once again putting children’s feet at the center of its approach with its barefoot school shoes, designed to bring the principles of foot-friendly footwear to one of the pairs children wear most throughout the school year.

Unlike conventional school shoes, Lejan’s barefoot school shoes aim to minimize interference between the shoe and the natural movement of the foot. They feature an anatomical toe box that gives the toes room to move, a flexible sole, and zero drop, meaning there is no height difference between the heel and the forefoot.

But for shoes designed for school, there is another particularly important factor: durability for everyday wear. Break times, running, playing, commuting, and long school days mean children’s footwear is subjected to especially intensive use. For this reason, Lejan’s school shoes are designed to combine the key characteristics of barefoot footwear with a construction made to keep up with children throughout their daily school routine.

A Shoe Designed to Grow, Play, and Last

During childhood, feet are constantly developing. Choosing the correct size and ensuring there is enough room inside the shoe is particularly important to prevent the toes from being compressed.

Lejan’s school shoes feature a forefoot shape designed around the natural anatomy of the foot, giving the toes more room than traditional narrow-toe school shoes.

The flexibility of the sole also allows the shoe to move more naturally with children as they walk, run, or play during break time. These features are combined with materials and a construction designed to withstand the frequent use associated with the school environment, where footwear needs to perform for many hours and across a wide variety of situations.

The result is a school shoe designed to balance freedom of movement, comfort, durability, and a simple aesthetic that is easy to pair with school uniforms and everyday school outfits.

Back to School Starts with the Feet Too

With its children’s school shoes, Lejan brings its philosophy of giving feet greater space and freedom of movement into the school environment, without overlooking one of the main requirements of children’s footwear: the ability to keep up with the children wearing it.

It is a back-to-school option designed not only around how the foot moves, but also around everything that happens around it throughout a typical school day.

Lejan’s children’s school shoes are available at lejanbrand.com.

About Lejan

Lejan is a barefoot footwear brand founded in 2024 with the aim of combining the principles of foot-friendly footwear with designs created for everyday life. Its models feature flexible soles, zero drop, and anatomical toe boxes, with options for both adults and children that combine functionality, design, and durability for everyday wear.
