Project Summary: Lifestyle Medicine (LM) is the foundational approach to addressing chronic disease, the leading cause of death in the US. Our project aims to enhance our LM practice, improve its effectiveness in promoting and supporting sustainable and proven lifestyle interventions, and make it more accessible to our rural community. To achieve this goal, we need to strengthen our infrastructure through education and networking, purchase of technology, and offering nutrition education.
Our proposal includes LM certification through the American Board of Lifestyle Medicine of our providers and health professionals and sending team members to the Lifestyle Medicine Conference (LMC). The training will expand our LM team’s scope of practice and help them better coordinate patient care. Additionally, attending the LMC will help our team build professional relationships that will help us grow our LM practice.
We will purchase videoconferencing equipment allowing our LM team to offer their services virtually and expand access to care. We will also be piloting WHOOP, a fitness tracker, and use the data obtained to supplement our LM intervention and help our patients optimize their health. Lastly, we will partner with our local community stakeholders to offer hands-on learning labs to show people how to grow, prep, and cook vegetables and how to effectively shop to stock a healthy pantry.
Through our project, we expect to improve health outcomes, patient satisfaction, and access to LM services.

Project Summary: Latino/a Culinary and Lifestyle Medicine physicians will introduce an online teaching kitchen curriculum entitled, “Latino/a Conversations: Food, Health and Cultura,” to educate individuals on the importance of healthy, plant-focused nutrition for mitigating cardiometabolic disease and provide practical application into daily food choices and preparation. The goal is to create an online presence by partnering regionally as well as statewide with our current national community-based organizations (VacunateYa, California Medical Association, Physicians for a Healthy California, Latino Health Collaborative, etc.). We hope this will equip individuals to then enthusiastically share this information with their respective communities. We also want to provide the "how to" skills in a teaching kitchen program by creating plant-forward, culturally-appropriate dishes and measure confidence and self-efficacy in adopting this pattern to other common meals participants have in their pattern of eating. A major part of our focus is to instill a sense of empowerment for individuals to take control of their own health trajectories going forward for themselves and their family members. We intend to provide an inclusive activity that teaches, inspires and contributes to achievable and favorable health outcomes in a safe, non judgmental and positive environment.
