This week on the show, we’re joined by Dr. Rosette Chakkalakal, an Associate Professor at Emory School of Medicine and Director of Preventive Medicine, and Kathy Taylor, Director of Medical Nutrition Therapy at Grady Health System. Dr. Chakkalakal and Taylor share insights into Grady’s innovative Food as Medicine program, which addresses food insecurity and chronic disease management through nutrition-based interventions. We discuss the critical role of fresh produce access, cooking education, and personalized nutrition counseling in improving health outcomes for patients with diabetes and hypertension. Our guests highlight how Grady’s approach is transforming patient care—helping to lower A1C levels, reduce hospital visits, and even put diabetes into remission. They also share valuable lessons for other healthcare institutions interested in implementing similar programs. Don't miss this inspiring conversation on how food can truly be medicine! 🔗 Learn more at gradyhealth.org
