In the hospital over the last five years, I have seen a dramatic rise of diet-preventable disease in my patients. To equip my patients and other families with the skills they need to use food as medicine, I founded The Up Beet Kitchen. It's an online cooking school and meal planner designed to put health back in your hands.
I'd love to hear your story about health, food and cooking.
