NEW Clinical Services: Lifestyle Medicine Physician Consultation and Culinary Medicine Physician Coaching

I am thrilled to announce two new clinical services I am providing at Kaiser Permanente San Francisco Medical Center: Lifestyle Medicine Physician Consultation and Culinary Medicine Physician Coaching.

If you’ve been following SpiceboxTravels.com for some time, you’ll know that I have been teaching health-supportive cooking classes for the past 12 years, and for the last 7 of those at Kaiser Permanente’s Thrive Kitchen. As you may know, I am a physician double-boarded in Internal Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine and have a certificate in Plant Based Nutrition, as well as a professionally trained chef and author of the award-winning cookbook, Spicebox Kitchen. I have been working in the field of culinary medicine since 2012 and am course co-director at the Bernard J. Tyson Kaiser Permanente School of Medicine for one of the only culinary medicine electives in the country. I am passionate about helping people reach their health goals through making lifestyle changes. As Director of both Culinary Medicine and Lifestyle Medicine at Kaiser Permanente San Francisco, I have taught and supervised many group classes in both culinary and lifestyle medicine. I am excited to now be able to provide individual consultations as well. These appointments are fee-based and open to both Kaiser Members and non-members.

To learn more about these new, fee-based consultations, please call the Kaiser Permanente San Francisco Health Education department at 415-833-7808.

If you have been looking for an opportunity to work with a physician on lifestyle management of your health conditions, or would like to learn how to cook for your health, I would be honored to have a chance to support you on your health journey.

To your health,

Linda Shiue, MD, Chef, Dip ABLM
