The Culinary Medicine group visit program has been designed for current or referred patients of Crossroads ObGyn and Wellness to support patients with basic cooking skills instruction while exploring the health benefits of foods.
This program is specifically developed for patients who have been referred for lifestyle management for culinary medicine and nutrition.
Each nutrition lesson is tailored to be delivered in individual live virtual group visit so that patients can interact with the material directly with the group facilitator and doctor. Each group is led by either the physician or a member of the physician's health coaching team. Since these are shared medical visits typically they are covered by insurance similar to a one on one visit with your doctor. Each group visit is typically 45-90 minutes depending on how much material to be covered in that group.
Here's what you can expect from this culinary medicine group:
📚 Nutrition lessons to learn about different foods and their health benefits
🔪 Culinary lessons to learn about key kitchen tools and how to use them to create simple, delicious meals and snacks
