Cooking, Healthy Eating & Fitness: Chef Clinic®
Dr. La Puma’s nationally lauded Chef Clinic® helps businesses and brands which care about lifestyle modification, disease prevention and management.
Dr. La Puma created Chef Clinic® to study how people can change their eating habits — permanently–and prevent disease, often starting with preventing and treating obesity, maintaining that weight loss and measuring the results. The resulting system for hands-on, immediate change is one that is effective, group-oriented and really, really fun.
Chef Clinic® created a “Weight Loss Camp for Adults” in suburban Chicago, resulting in dramatic weight loss, blood pressure, triglyceride and cholesterol control. The program integrates cooking, shopping, eating out, mind body control and fitness into “weeknight camps.” Followed by the media, including Prevention, Health, Chicago Tribune and NBC, PBS and Fox affiliates, Chef Clinic recipes appeared on Oprah and have been viewed and used by millions of cooks worldwide.
The Chef Clinic® methodology, curriculum and materials are available for groups. The Clinic is based in Santa Barbara, California. Corporate contests, filming and re-purposing are encouraged to help people learn how to take their own health into their own hands, how to use products well, and how to create health and flavor in their own kitchens.
Chef Clinic® also continues to invest in important medical research, and provide research-based answers to individual questions about cooking, healthy eating and fitness.
The Clinic funds this website and its mirrors, and aims to promote better eating habits and skills worldwide. It has studied physician eating, national trends in physician weight loss medication prescribing habits, physician diet recommendations, and early detection of celiac disease, using a prototype software tool for the detection of celiac disease.
