In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Richmond Doxey from the Internal Medicine department to discuss a fascinating and practical field of healthcare: Culinary Medicine.
What is Culinary Medicine? Unlike standard nutrition advice which often leaves patients confused about how to implement changes, Culinary Medicine blends the art of food and cooking with the science of medicine. Dr. Doxey explains how this approach moves beyond theoretical advice (like "eat low sodium") to practical application—teaching patients exactly how to shop, cook, and flavor food to manage conditions like heart failure.
We discuss how dietary changes can impact chronic issues ranging from reflux and IBS to anxiety and depression. Dr. Doxey highlights the effectiveness of the Mediterranean diet and how specific nutrient-dense foods can sometimes work as effectively as medication for lowering blood pressure.
