Course Description This is a hands-on learning experience in a Teaching Kitchen. It will be a fun, tasty, and enriching introduction to Lifestyle Medicine with an emphasis on evidence-based food choices. When you complete this course, you will be familiar with a set of skills that will greatly enhance your care for patients and lengthen and envigorate your own career. You will learn about brain chemistry and techniques that help overcome it in pursuit of change. We will practice these techniques in small groups. In the end, you will be empowered to apply these techniques with your future patients. Come hungry!! We will prepare 2 meals together every day, starting with a quick breakfast, and ending with a more elaborate lunch.
