An Emory Healthy Kitchen Collaborative podcast by Sharon Bergquist, MD
The Emory Healthy Kitchen Collaborative (EHKC) is a multidisciplinary lifestyle wellness program developed and delivered by Emory faculty and staff. It serves as a worksite wellness program and includes nutrition, culinary skills, physical activity, yoga, stress resilience, mindful eating, ethnobotany, sleep, and organic farming. The aim is to enable a broad and diverse population of individuals to build skills they can adapt to their background to support positive lifestyle changes, weight management, and overall wellness.
The group has completed a teaching kitchen pilot clinical trial and wishes to collaborate on research metrics for evaluating feasibility and outcomes of teaching kitchens. They look forward to scaling the program to academic, community, and corporate partners to promote living healthy, joyful lives.
