What is culinary medicine and why is there a need for it?
Culinary Medicine is where food meets science, and prevention meets the plate
Because we don’t have a healthcare system - we have a disease management system.
90% of global health budgets are spent on managing chronic diseases.
Yet, 80% of heart disease, stroke, and type 2 diabetes - plus 40% of cancers - are preventable through diet and lifestyle. (WHO)
So why aren’t we talking more about prevention?
Culinary Medicine bridges the gap between medicine and the kitchen, empowering people to take back control of their health - one meal at a time.
In Culinary Medicine, we are trained around the foods that can prevent and manage disease by applying evidence-based nutrition to real-life meals for lasting health.
The power is at the end of your fork. You just need to know how to use it.
Table Truth
It’s time to shift the conversation - preventive health starts with what’s on your plate
We’ve lost our way, and it’s costing us. BIG time
The connection between our health and what we put in our shopping carts is undeniable, yet the global conversation still prioritises treatment over prevention.
It’s time to change that one plate at a time.
