Well I have to talk about mine first. Um, but also, um, the Teaching Kitchen Collaborative, which is at the Culinary Institute of America. They have been around since about 2015. I was one of the first members of their teaching kitchen collaborative. And I was in charge of creating, um, culinary cur culinary medicine curricula. It didn't exist back then, which is why I went on to create the culinary medicine series with 40 experts from around the world and a dozen chefs. So the textbooks that I have created is the foundational element in culinary medicine. The teaching kitchen. If you're looking at wanting to create, uh, your own teaching kitchen, you definitely wanna hook up with the Teaching Kitchen collaborative and you can just, uh, Google them TKC and they have lots of resources. You know, how to set up a teaching kitchen. They also have opportunities to partner and get involved in research and promoting this field of culinary medicine. So you'll see that link, uh, I believe I put that there for you. I did, I included the link. So let me know how that goes. And also the Food Coach Academy is based on culinary medicine. I brought it to the people. Most of the culinary medicine to date has been to teach clinicians. I know that we all have the capacity to cook and what is needed does not take a, a medical degree in culinary medicine. And what I see happening is that community members are healing community members, helping them heal by being the at the elbow support, by teaching them how to translate nutrition recommendations, eat more fruit, eat more vegetables, eat more fiber into what shows up on their plate.
