Most clinicians grapple with the challenge of enabling patients to be drivers of their own wellness regimen. Nutrition is a vital part of Lifestyle Medicine, which not only prevents disease, but is integral to the treatment, management (and reversal) of many noncommunicable chronic diseases (NCDs) such as type-2 diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, stroke, many cancers including breast and colon, as well as depression, anxiety, osteoarthritis, and sexual health issues. This culinary medicine course offers a deep dive into culinary coaching, an evidence-based telemedicine strategy that combines culinary training with health and wellness coaching to improve nutrition. Attendees receive the latest updates of the culinary coaching approach and acquire new skills, tools, and resources to empower patients to adopt sustainable and nutritious home-cooking behaviors. The economics of health care reform increasingly pressure clinicians to promote healthy nutrition. This course provides education and experience that will keep clinicians at the forefront of this critical global trend, leading by example to improve and increase healthy eating for patients and themselves.
