Why Become a Certified Culinary Medicine Specialist?

The Problem is Clear:

Poor diet contributes to chronic health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. However, many healthcare practitioners feel their nutritional education and ability to communicate practical, effective guidance in this area is lacking.

The Certified Culinary Medicine Specialist fills the gap.

Successful communication with patients regarding the vital role that healthy eating and nutrition plays in good health is key to improved patient outcomes.

What’s Missing?

❌ Evidence-based understanding of what foods and diet plans can most help transform patient’s lives.

❌ How to assist patient’s with weight management, one of the largest health issues today.

❌ The best diet recommendations for various diseases like cancer, congestive heart failure, and diabetes mellitus.

❌ Specialized topics in nutrition like celiac disease, food allergy, pregnancy, pediatrics, neurocognition, anti-inflammation and more!

The Certified Culinary Medicine Specialist (CCMS) program provides clinicians with a unique combination of nutritional knowledge and culinary skills so that they can effectively incorporate healthy eating into patients’ diets and deliver optimal patient care.
