The Skinny Gene Project

The Skinny Gene Project is a San Diego-based non-profit organization and a division of the J. Moss Foundation dedicated to the prevention of type 2 diabetes. As a CDC-recognized provider of the National Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), the organization offers evidence-based lifestyle change programs, personalized nutrition counseling, and community education. Their approach combines clinical screenings, such as A1c testing, with behavioral and social support to empower at-risk individuals to reverse prediabetes. The project collaborates with healthcare providers, community clinics, and insurers to increase access to diabetes prevention services. By focusing on underserved populations, the organization aims to reduce health disparities and lower long-term healthcare costs associated with chronic metabolic conditions.
