   From Kitchen to Clinic: The Power of Culinary Medicine

   Welcome to another episode of Flip Your Script, a vodcast by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, hosted by ACLM President Dr. Padmaja Patel. In each episode, we explore five key takeaways on how lifestyle medicine is helping clinicians and leaders reimagine the future of healthcare. This episode, “From Kitchen to Clinic: The Power of Culinary Medicine,” features Dr. Jaclyn Albin, an associate professor of internal medicine, pediatrics, and public health at UT Southwestern and a certified culinary medicine specialist. Dr. Albin shares how her personal connection to food and experiences in clinical practice led her to integrate culinary medicine into patient care, medical education, and population health. The conversation explores how food can become part of the treatment plan rather than an afterthought—and how culinary medicine can empower patients and communities to make meaningful, sustainable changes. Dr. Albin discusses meeting patients where they are, understanding their relationship with food, building on existing strengths and habits, and creating care plans that reflect their culture, resources, relationships, and everyday lives. The episode also examines how culinary medicine can extend beyond the clinical setting through community partnerships, medical education, policy, schools, and teaching kitchens. Dr. Albin shares her perspective on creating lasting change, empowering the next generation of clinicians, and building healthier communities through nutrition, connection, and practical lifestyle interventions. If you're interested in lifestyle medicine, culinary medicine, food as medicine, nutrition, patient empowerment, behavior change, medical education, preventive medicine, community health, population health, health equity, or building healthier communities, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

Lifestyle medicine is a medical specialty that uses therapeutic lifestyle interventions as a primary modality to treat chronic conditions including, but not limited to, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes, and obesity. Lifestyle medicine-certified clinicians are trained to apply evidence-based, whole-person, prescriptive lifestyle change to treat and, when used intensively, often reverse such conditions. Applying the six pillars of lifestyle medicine—a whole-food, plant-predominant eating pattern, physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances, and positive social connections—also provides effective prevention for these conditions.

   The Future of Workplace Health Is Lifestyle Medicine

   Welcome to another episode of Flip Your Script, a vodcast by the American College of Lifestyle Medicine, hosted by ACLM President Dr. Padmaja Patel. In each episode, we explore five key takeaways on how lifestyle medicine is helping clinicians and leaders reimagine the future of healthcare. This episode, “The Future of Workplace Health Is Lifestyle Medicine,” features the leaders of the Lifestyle Medicine in the Workplace Member Interest Group. Together, they share their perspectives on bringing lifestyle medicine into the workplace and creating healthier environments where employees can thrive. The conversation explores why workplace health should extend beyond traditional wellness programs and become part of an organization's culture. The guests discuss how lifestyle medicine can help address the root causes of chronic conditions while supporting employee well-being, productivity, and organizational outcomes. They highlight the importance of creating psychologically safe workplaces, addressing workplace stress and burnout, making healthy behaviors easier and more accessible, and ensuring that employees have a voice in shaping health and well-being initiatives. The conversation also explores practical strategies for employers looking to get started, including conducting an organizational assessment, talking directly with workers and managers about their needs, identifying existing resources, and focusing on opportunities to address workplace stress and psychosocial risks. The guests emphasize that organizations don't need to reinvent the wheel and can begin by leveraging tools and resources that already exist, including the Lifestyle Medicine in the Workplace Guide. Together, they challenge the traditional approach to workplace wellness and emphasize that creating healthier workplaces requires a culture-driven, population-level approach. From leadership and management to frontline employees, everyone has a role to play in building workplaces that support health, reduce stress, and help people move beyond survival mode toward thriving.
