Why Become a Certified Culinary Medicine Specialist?
The Problem is Clear:
Poor diet contributes to chronic health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. However, many healthcare practitioners feel their nutritional education and ability to communicate practical, effective guidance in this area is lacking.
The CCMS program fills the gap.
Successful communication with patients regarding the vital role that healthy eating and nutrition plays in good health is key to improved patient outcomes.
What’s Missing?
❌ Evidence-based understanding of what foods and diet plans can most help transform patient’s lives.
❌ How to assist patient’s with weight management, one of the largest health issues today.
❌ The best diet recommendations for various diseases like cancer, congestive heart failure, and diabetes mellitus.
❌ Specialized topics in nutrition like celiac disease, food allergy, pregnancy, pediatrics, neurocognition, anti-inflammation and more!
The Certified Culinary Medicine Specialist (CCMS) program provides clinicians with a unique combination of nutritional knowledge and culinary skills so that they can effectively incorporate healthy eating into patients’ diets and deliver optimal patient care.

Why have 20,000 healthcare professionals chosen CCMS?
| “I think physicians can demonize food frequently and focus on BMI and weight loss instead of the health and nutritional value of the pts diet. Discussing food and diet occurs at almost every annual physical and we are never trained on how to have these discussions or take courses on nutrition.” – (AJ) | “If clinicians can better help patients to understand the impact of food on their health, I truly believe that we can help patients to both prevent disease and improve disease status. Taking this course can provide any student with knowledge, skills, and simple recipes to use and share, serving as the first step to becoming clinician educators and advocates for the nutritional health of our future patients.” – (MP) | “I absolutely loved this course and think it will help shape my future practice in medicine for years to come. I’ve always loved cooking and now feel as though I have a better idea about how to incorporate my love of food into clinical practice.” – (TN) |
