Food Is Medicine

Teaching kitchens & diabetes education.

Hands-on cooking plus clinical nutrition education, led by our care team. The Food Is Medicine intervention that turns healthy food into lasting skills.

The Basics

What are teaching kitchens & diabetes education?

Teaching kitchens are hands-on Food Is Medicine settings where members learn to shop for and cook food that supports their health, guided by nutrition professionals. Paired with diabetes education — practical, care-team-led sessions on how food, activity, and medication affect blood sugar — they combine real cooking skills with clinical nutrition content.

The goal is durable behavior change. Where other interventions deliver food, teaching kitchens teach members how to use it — building the confidence and skills that keep healthy eating going long after a program ends.
