What happens when a nurse brings healing into the kitchen? šŸŽšŸ‘©ā€āš•ļø

In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Dr. Josie Bidwell—nurse, professor, and culinary medicine educator—who shares how she’s transforming lives in Mississippi through food, education, and lifestyle medicine.

We talk about Mississippi’s rich food culture, what sparked her shift from traditional nursing to culinary education, common health myths, and heartwarming patient stories that prove food truly is medicine.

You'll also learn why she started Kitchen Rx and how she's reaching patients right where they are—even at the YMCA!

✨ Whether you're into plant-based alternatives, lifestyle tips, or simply want to cry less while cutting onions—this one’s for you.
