ChefMD’s PBS Series Due To Launch In September Will Provide Recipes to Prevent and Treat Disease
Blending the art of food and healthful cooking Dr. John La Puma tackles what could be the most deliciously fun approach to healthy food viewers have yet to see.
SANTA BARBARA, CA – Dr. John La Puma is poised to take the frustration out of what’s for dinner. Embracing the science of medicine while creating a simple and tasty meal, the popular physician, chef and author hosts the new PBS series “ChefMD® Shorts with Dr John La Puma” premiering nationwide on PBS stations beginning September 7, 2013 and running through May 2016.
“Delicious meals can work like medicine with restaurant-quality flavor to boot,” said Dr. La Puma. “That’s why we think one to two minute pieces will give the viewer just enough to chew on, pardon the pun, without feeling overstuffed. It’s what-you-need-to-know, high impact TV and video.”
Re-engineered from Dr. La Puma’s five year co-hosting stint on Lifetime Television’s “Health Corner” with Leeza Gibbons and Joan Lunden, the PBS nutritional series is distributed by National Educational Telecommunications Association (NETA). NETA will offer a schedule of ten new downloadable programs per month through May 2014 to all PBS stations and their managers so the Shorts may be rebroadcast royalty free for two years. The September program offer can be found on NETA’s website; the Lifetime original ChefMD segments are available online; and ten new programs will be posted monthly on YouTube as well.
