In 2025, Dr. Rani P***k, creator of the Clinicians CHEF Coaching Program, along with contributions from Wellcoaches CEO Margaret Moore, Beth Frates, Eddie Phillips, and Jacob Mirsky, had their paper, “Defining Culinary Medicine: A Call for consensus on Competencies to Improve Nutrition,” published.

Culinary medicine, in short, is the science-informed art of helping people learn or rediscover the gathering of ingredients, cooking delicious food, and sharing and savoring a healthy meal.

Did you know that most chronic diseases are preventable — and food is one of the most powerful tools we have?

Culinary medicine brings together nutrition science, cooking skills, and behavior change coaching to help people build healthier relationships with food.

Our CHEF Coaching Program — developed in partnership with Harvard Medical School and Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital — trains health coaches and healthcare professionals to integrate this approach into their work.

CHEF Coaching: The Basics begins April 28.
