Can food truly be medicine? What if science and cooking came together to make plant-based eating both powerful and practical? In this episode, we explore the science behind plant-based nutrition and how to bring it to life in your kitchen with Chef Caryn Dugan and Dr. Jim Loomis.
Chef Caryn Dugan is the founder of the Center for Plant-Based Living, the nation’s first plant-based culinary education center. After facing personal health challenges, she turned to a whole food, plant-based diet and never looked back. Caryn is a certified instructor with the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) and has trained under leading experts in plant-based nutrition.
Dr. Jim Loomis is an internal medicine physician, lifestyle medicine expert, and Medical Director at PCRM. He has served as the team doctor for the St. Louis Rams and Cardinals, as well as the tour physician for the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. Dr. Loomis is a strong advocate for food as medicine and has been featured in the documentary The Game Changers. Together, Caryn and Dr. Loomis co-host The Doc and Chef, a YouTube series where science meets cooking. Each episode breaks down a health topic—Dr. Loomis explains the research, and Caryn brings it to life with a practical, delicious recipe.
