Adam McBride is the CEO and co-founder of Eden, a healthcare platform on a mission to make metabolic health more accessible, sustainable, and empowering. His journey is personal, after struggling with his own health and losing 60 pounds using GLP-1 therapies, Adam built Eden with Josh Khan, to help others access the tools and care he wished he had years earlier.
Adam’s path hasn’t been linear. Raised in a tight-knit Mormon community, he’s since stepped away from that faith, driven by a desire to forge his own path in life and business. After corporate roles at Capital One and GEICO, and the tragic loss of his sister to weight-related health issues, Adam channeled his experience into building Eden: a company where science, empathy, and action come together.
He’s a Harvard graduate, a father of four, an endurance athlete, and a passionate advocate for changing how we approach health. Adam’s philosophy is simple: “I want people to wake up feeling like they’re 18 again.” His leadership is driven by purpose, principles, and a deep belief that people deserve better options, and real support—to live vibrant, energetic lives.
Telehealth platform Eden is expanding to off-line experiences with its first luxury wellness club, set to open in Colorado.
The FDA ordered compounding pharmacies to stop making copycat versions of weight loss drugs like Ozempic and Zepbound now that the GLP-1 drug shortage has ended. People who rely on compounded GLP-1s say they may not be able to afford brand-name versions, which are often not covered by insurance.
Healthcare is undergoing a radical transformation, and the hottest benefits in the year to come will be those that challenge the status quo. Traditional health insurance is failing us—it’s expensive, inefficient, and reactive rather than preventative. Employees are taking control by opting for out-of-pocket solutions like compounded GLP-1 medications, which are not only more affordable than their insurance premiums but also offer preventative health benefits that save costs in the long run.
