Inspired by our families
We both grew up in immigrant homes in the Midwest, where food was the centerpiece of our lives and a tie to our cultural heritage. We grew up on tahdig, dumplings, and the aromas of simmering stews. Recently, the foods of our childhoods were villainized as our parents were diagnosed with diet-related chronic conditions.
As healthcare operators who have worked to increase access to care, we were disappointed with the nutrition and lifestyle support our families received post-diagnosis. This inspired us to try to weave food and nutrition into the care experience!
