Question:
As a nutritionist and chef how would you start health and nutrition cooking show presentations in a rural community that needs your service and willing to learn how to improve their lifestyle?
— Eugene Johnson
Answer:
Excellent question, Eugene. First and foremost, I would train someone in the community to teach the community like teachers like, because there is a big distrust between mental health, um, well any type of practitioner or western medicine practitioner and those that are, that live in rural communities. And Covid showed us that, um, in spades this, um, this disconnect and untrust between, um, segments of our society. So the whole point of the Food Coach Academy is to train individuals in the community to become that leader, that culinary medicine leader in their rural communities. So that's what I would say Eugene, I would say train somebody if not yourself to become a food coach and get out there in the community.
